Well, I am finally relieved for the first time in a long time. I was told today I am getting the full bonus at work that I was hoping for. It is going to be a relief not to have to live paycheck-to-paycheck, at least for a while … !
OK, enough gloating. I just wanted to express my gratitude and relief to someone other than Jeff and my parents, because I’m happy! It is the first time I’ve gotten a bonus EVER, because the first year I became eligible at Disney they didn’t give one, and I didn’t stay in my next jobs long enough to get one!
Gee, I’m so happy, I might even go ride Big Thunder.

Congratulations! (You bastard.)
You now, I’ve always wondered what it’s like to, at one point during the work year, receive a chunk of money for no apparent reason. Just a nice lump of cash appearing out of nowhere into my checking account. Will you write a poem describing what that feels like?
Ezra Keats Expounded Thusly:
Today, on this
the Day of Days,
my eyes widened,
my heart skipped,
my soul sang
and then,
when the relief
that came from Metamucil
passed
I received a bonus check.
That was nice, too.
Steve Expounded Thusly:
Sorry I didn’t comment on the poem! Thank you for the submission. I can say with certainty that it is, without fail, present.
Sorry, I ain't takin' no comments on this page. Deal, y'hear?
