Work: I was given $100 this afternoon for doing such a "great job" by Andrea (the reptile). This reward was really a guilt inducer. We have been on such a tight budget for months. I've been forced to scrounge for spare parts from broken PC's in order to repair other PC's. I've had to distribute the back up storage over our network because we haven't been able to upgrade our server hard drives. I feel like Dr.Frankenstein. Anyway, somehow she came up with enough to give me a bonus. Granted, I was shorted $170 on my last check because we had to double up our quarterly payment to the government due to the our old HR company's criminal negligence with paying taxes, but I didn't complain about it when it happened, for I was told that our recent invoices wouldn't be able to meet the increased taxes and still make payroll. So I considered myself lucky that it was such a low reduction on my pay check. But still, I have this odd feeling of guilt for getting this $100 back. I'll just have to keep in mind that I'm still owed $70 on my paycheck, plus $30 for backup tapes, $20 for replacement mice, $15 for replacement keyboards, $10 for printer paper, etc...
