I do a good job at work and I want the bosses to give me something in recognition. They can't give me a raise, a promotion, more vacation days, a better office, or a new computer. They can give me business cards and personalized notepads, but I don't want either of those things.
Any creative ideas of what I might ask for? Maybe something cheap and cute from Staples? |

QUOTE (Nechama @ Jul 8 2008, 02:58 PM) a rubber band ball We really never use rubber bands. Besides, that's probably something I could just ask the office manager for. Thanks for the suggestions, all! Even if I shoot them down, they're still helpful. |
