Adulthood creeps up on you

After working my little monkey ass off since summer . . . and cranking out some pretty impressive numbers, I learned this week I'll be getting a bit of a holiday bonus. (Is it really a bonus if you had to work extra hard to earn it?)

The Phenom asked me what I plan to do with my extra funds. This is one of my favorite games . . . planning what I'd do with 300 Million in Lotto winnings. I imagine establishing a charitable foundation with a portion of the money . . . I haven't decided if I would immediately quit my job or not. I imagine paying off all debt and buying a really hot, expensive, totally wasteful car. I would buy an apartment in the French Quarter.

But, my bonus won't be anywhere near that amount. So, smaller . . . more reasonable splurges, right?

Nope . . . I plan to get the oil changed in my car and maybe get my hair cut . . . and buy an new pair of glasses. sigh. Maybe I ought to by some tiger print undies just to make me feel that I'm not completely 'round the bend, eh?
