Title: Christmas Presents from Work?
Post by: Knox on December 15, 2010, 03:21:33 PM
Anyone get any branded nicknacks this year? or actually get something cool from their work for Christmas?

I got a branded camp chair this year, I think it will take residence in my Jeep. 8)

Me too. I also get to be on call on Christmas day. Then again, I bugger off for a solid week starting at 8AM on the 26th, so I'm not getting totally hosed.

2!!  Lucky...   'cuz I actually TOOK remembrance day (the unmitigated gall eh?), I work the 24'th as a regular day.

I think the only "branding" the company is doing is more like the cattle version than product stuff at my place  :o

I get to keep my job (for now) and have a handful of new projects tossed on my plate (though some may be fun).

I guess I did get the biannual bonus too which was good, that did have the work name on it ;)

and I get to work boxing day too, but they do pay double time and a half  that day ;D

Bonus? What is that?
New company (to me), really small (the boss and I), so I am not counting on a bonus (hence the name "bonus"), and no company shwag.... yet. I am working on it.

At least you won't be getting seasick  ;D

How are the conditions there? I'd imagine that the weather is pretty copacetic at this time of year - at least when compared with August in Egypt.

as far as rig conditions, they are great its a brand new rig just a few months old. food not so good, weather litle cold and windy at the moment, but there was a few 20*C  days.
