09:19 PM - Money matters I got a nice fat check today as "merit compensation" for my fine work in 2003. Well nigh four figures. I suppose it is a decent slice, considering that in 2003 I nearly lost the company a contract worth millions over the years. Then again, we'd have won it easily had my bosses heeded my advice and bid on people instead of software. Truthfully, we'd never have won the contract at all but for my presence on the team, so I suppose it is a fairly meager slice after all. I try not to think about this too much. Now, I know that I'm in no position to complain - I already own or have ready access to the vast majority of the things which I have ever coveted (XBOX, laptop, dog door, etc.) and I even drive the car of my choice. Still, the fact that I only get to keep a mere 60% of my bonus, with which I intended to buy gifts for my family and the less fortunate, is a real pisser. In effect, I work all day Monday and Tuesday to pay for the various levels of government and their massive Ponzi schemes (e.g. Social Security) and I get the opportunity to work the rest of the week to support my own family and pay my own bills. If I was not already an activist Libertarian, probably this would do the trick. (
