The lack of money is the root of all evil

Isn't that the truth. Gotta feel lucky to have a job, I suppose. Can't remember the last raise I got. I think it was way before the 10 percent pay cut I and others took a few years ago. Corporate management and board members that hold our company were lining their pockets with six-seven figure bonuses. Just the way it goes. It would be refreshing if a corporate big-wig or such would speak up and say, "You know I have plenty of money, couple mansions, yachts let the workers split up my share...", then all the others would do the same so they won't appear greedy. I know won't happen. It seems the more money you get the more you want. And if you get enough money you set up philanthropies for third world countries. Sometimes people forget where they came from. Reminds me of this funny from List of the Day.

Did I mention I got a stellar review from my boss at the Academy. I hate to be bragadocious. But as you well know, it's about time things started to look up for moi. He said they are "thrilled to have me as their design person." Thrilled is good.
