@obs: Intense story. Sounds like he may have been in a bit of a hurry and it cost him.

@Mazda: Cuba is grand, hopefully you check out a couple different cities. I went a while back, I remember really liking Cienfuegos, Trinidad and Santa Clara. :up:

ugg i got stuck in a position where i had to listen to a boring person talk

it felt like forever...


it was like when people write those super long paragraphs in a vain attempt to portray themselves as intelligent but it only confirms the opposite !

arg could have said it in a few concise words!

I would've loved to see Santa Clara for the history alone (viva Che!) but we booked an all-inclusive stay in Holguin and the resort there is apparently #1 in the entire country. We tried to come up with a plan to get to Varadero and Havana but it ended up too expensive. We'll have to take another trip for that :D

My boss walked into my office and dropped several hundred bucks cash on my desk. Nice little bonus. Also just booked a family cruise to the Bahamas.

Most legitimate companies don't pay their employee in cash for tax record purposes. In your case it would be the 25% supplemental wage tax on your bonus. Have you asked your employer about it?

I'm starting to think Gwamps is either a prostitute or Mexican.

It was his daily reward for not emptying out the vending machine by 11am.

My last bonus was £4000, treated myself to a Omega. A few hundred is nice though.

What will you be doing? <3


As with any small business is all about sales, in this case industrial size solvent and UV printers, software workflow and finishing kit. I'm going in as a consultant until the dust settles then I'll start taking shares.

I can basically make my own title. I'm thinking something like 'supreme commander', something subtle.

Perhaps something German sounding, like 'Oberdruckermeister' or 'Geschaftsfuhrer'.
