Jealousy, I Name Thee... Me?
Ever get a bonus from work? Not money, but something else? Like a DVD player? I got a pat on the back and a muffin when my first article was published years ago. My brother, he got a €70,000 custom built Audi A4, every detail and specification made per his wishes.He works for Audi, and at some point he was asked what would be the perfect A4, the kind he would like to put on display at one of the dealerships in Finland. And he just gives out a list of details. Three months later, the car is sitting on his parking lot and a courier hands him a note, basically saying, "keep up the good work". Pearly white, creamy white leather seats, a bi-turbo V8, and pretty much every gadget Audi has in their catalogue. I rarely look at a car and go "That is a work of art".
I don't ask that much from life, I just basically want to be comfortable and left alone. So I don't normally crave for what other people have. I just think it's not fair I got a muffin and he gets a sports sedan that was purpose built for him.

Muffins rock, though! And sure, you can't drive it, but for the 5 minutes you're munching it, you're in absolute heaven. ;P

Sarai, Bebbet - I think it was a banana-chocolate-chocolate chip muffin. Which is my favorite. And comes with 7 others in a box.

Gee, the best bonus at work I ever got was a free oil change. Does the car run or is it a lawn ornament?

I got a going-away good-bye goody-bag! And hugs. And a few tears. That was sweet. There was a hard-drive included in there. :)

I get all-you-can-eat buffes at conferences!
Frankly, if somebody would give me such a car I would sell it. I would be constantly worrying about it, the insurance money would eat me alive and it probably wouldn't last one night in my neighbourhood.
But a muffin! That, my friend, is pure win... :)bitzky - 04:27 - 2008-Aug-26
