Today is one of the happiest days of the year for the 2-3 thousand folks who work for the same company as I.  Today is Bonus Day.

We are always told that the bonus is not guaranteed, but I don’t think there has ever been a year when they did not give out the bonus.  Our salaries are pretty low compared to other software companies, but the bonus that we get on the last business day of January is sizable enough to let us almost approach income respectability.  Almost.

I’m working from home today so I won’t be getting my year end bonus packet (the check stub is given out in the same packet our tax information comes in) until tomorrow. I checked my bank account though and the amount deposited this morning was nice.  Very nice.  I’m happy.

Now it’s time to start planning those vacations!  WOOHOO
