Who Needs A Working Toilet?


I've been wanting to buy a new toilet. One that I don't have to turn off after each flush. If it keeps leaking it's going to rot the floor out. Plus, I'd like a laptop that doesn't shut itself down every half an hour as well. I lose more work that way.

I've been waiting to see if I hit goal in my sales territory and today it happened. I got my final numbers for bonus.

The good news is that I get bonus because I hit GOAL!!!

The bad news is that I still don't know for how much. Reality!!!

I get my final numbers, my estimated pay out, and it's a healty number worthy of a pedestal toilet and a super computer. But, would it be pro-rated? Pro-rated means getting 1/3 of that hefty number instead of all of it because I haven't worked a full year with the company.

I asked three times if it would be prorated since I started in February.

I was told, 'No, you get the whole thing.'

I got all excited. Visions of big healthy checks were floating in my head. I had dreams of buying a new toilet AND a new laptop. Who knows maybe I would get someone to cut my hair instead of taking the dog trimmer to it myself. The dreams I have... LOL.

But then I got an email this afternoon that says maybe it should be pro-rated.
Maybe. Hmph. I don't like that word. Maybe sucks.

The boss isn't sure which way it will go.

So my money is held up again.

I should get something but who knows how much or when.

It was a nice dream though, wasn't it?

Who needs a working toilet anyway? The laptop I have to have.

LOL.

  1. You wouldn't believe the list of things I need. Among them, a new husband, my age, my looks...etc. Anyway, when's your Chapter 10 of Plum coming?

    You can never buy what you really need.

  3. Spoken like a true writer. I'd take the lap top over the toilet! Just ensure that you don't neglect the toilet so long that the floor caves in one day. :)

  4. Do the toilet first - I've been watching that damn show Hoarders on A&E...toilet do rot out the floor!

    Not that you're a hoarder...but you know what I mean :-)

  5. I'd love a laptop!!! I've been thinking about a little netbook -- affordable and miniature-sized. :)

  6. Oh yes, a new laptop. I get all giddy thinking about it. But I probably should do the toilet.

    Blah. I'd rather have the laptop.
