Nothing this year. At least I didn't get cheesy left-over give-away crap from conventions, like they did a couple of years (the infamous non-working Stenograph clock, the Stenograph go-cup, the Stenograph mini-blanket...) My old boss used to send me a $25 amazon gift certificate. My new boss gives me respect all year round -- hmm... I think I prefer that to bullshit and $25.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
