my company is a very cool company. i shouldn't really divulge in all the details since this is public record, but i just came back from a crazy trip from Lake Tahoe. We left on a Sunday morning and came back on a Monday evening. The coolest thing is that we paid 25 dollars for: lift ticket, food, lodging, and transportation. 25 dollars! also, we got monday off - and it didn't count as a vacation day or personal or sick day. it was just a "normal" 3-day weekend for me - while the rest of the country had work (and make more money than i do). but when do you ever get a chance to go partying with your boss, ceo, cso (chief scientific officer), and all the other upper management team? i mean... PARTY ... not just party.
