The Sweater

Okay, I'm not sure if I'm posting about this because I think it's funny or if it's because I'm truly worried about it! Well, you know how I've told you that we have yet to find out what our bonuses/raises will be this year. We are supposed to get said bonus tomorrow & find out what our raise will be for the 1st of the year (to be reflected on our January 15 paycheck).

Anyways, last Friday, the head partner of the firm sent out an e-mail saying to tell his secretary what size sweater we wanted because we are having sweaters instead of bonuses this year. That they are giving us the sweater, they already gave us firm shirts (2), and then the swanky Christmas party and that's enough. It has to be a joke. I'm going to keep repeating to myself that part. So no one really responded because we assumed it was a joke and went about our business.

So today, one of the secretaries came up to Sara & I and asked us to pick out which sweater and what size we wanted. Now, we did get the two shirts last year just because, but I'm slightly concerned as to this recent sweater development. I know the Christmas party they decided to have was quite costly but if my bonus is affected, I'm not going to be a happy camper. So I picked out a Navy blue sweater with the firm logo on it and Sara chose a tan collared one. Don't know when we'll get those - probably not until January or February - or when I will actually wear it but I guess so. Oh well, what can you do? Let's just HOPE that is not all we get for Christmas this year because I was counting on that bonus to help out with gifts for others. Guess I'll see what tomorrow brings (or doesn't!). ;)
