    Default I just got the best news ever

    My dh got a job promo awhile back and he can get bonuses with this, but never has made it because he took over a store that needed so much help and he has put in 24/7 of his time to get his store up to par. And this company has not been fair to him, to say the least. (salary paid)

    Well, we was just talking yesterday on the phone that he may get a 1400 bonus in August, of course luxurary taxes taken out is about 50%..grrr, but still happy for something.

    He just called me for a split second to tell me that his boss and the big big boss above him cut him a check today for the amount because he deserved it. I said great! We don't have to wait until August then. He said no, this is extra money and we will still get that bonus in August too!
