We missed some metrics for bonus and the boeing strike impacted others… so the net effect sounds like no bonus this year. Oh well, I figure bonuses are nice, but one should never plan on it till it is in hand.

Same thing I try to do with checks I occasionally get from the fire dept… don’t plan on them at all (be all but impossible to budget based on that small amount of income since it is dependent on things burning) and then I figure, it is a nice surprise when I do. Extra dinner, more towards a bill, just like a bonus.
