Does This Mean I Get To Stay?

I came home yesterday to find this sitting on my doorstep. Well, it was in a box, but this is what was inside. Next month marks the 5th anniversary of my working for ConocoPhillips. I've actually worked for them for 6 years, but the first year I was contract.


In recognition of this the company has a brochure of items you can get as an anniversary gift. There was a whole ranged of things from rings, watches, wall mounted clocks, cheesy digital cameras, etc. ...
...to this!!! That's right boys and girls, I chose the 3 in 1 Black & Decker Cordless Drill! It comes with a stud finder, so I should be able to find a husband pretty soon!!

MMMMMMMM! Power tools!
The company is smack in the middle of layoffs, so hopefully the fact that they bothered to send me my certificate of recognition means they plan on keeping me around. Fingers crossed!

I would like to have one of those. Although I already have my stud!

Your stud finder comment totally made me crack up - for real. You are so funny and I'm with you, I hope that means you get to stick around for a while.

I'd like to see you using that stud finder. Do you walk around wal-mart? the mall? local stake center? What would you do if it went off? sorry - visions of a warped mind
Congrats on 5 years - wonderful

"Stud finder" -- literally made my day :) Wouldn't one of those be super handy?
