dave: that's a nice dinner!
me: lunch.
me: net proceeds: $16.40 after taxes.

crap.

Don says that is a gourmet lunch for 2 at Quiznos. Mmmm . . . Toasty!

Ok, that is just wrong. At least you didn't end up somehow owing them money. ugh. stuff like that just makes me MAD!

New and exciting opportunities...priceless.

Best of luck with the new job.

do you at least get to take one of the gnomes w/ you? that'd be worth more than options, and likely avaoidable for the alternative minimum tax :)
