      I also get 2 bonuses/ year, worth about 1200 $ each… One in December, one in July... Always in time to buy the new IH seasonal stuff...  😉

        Nice! We get $200.00 every 3 months for perfect attendance and $800.00 if we have perfect attendance for
        the whole year. We get a yearly bonus ( about $700.00 ) every September and I get 10 hours of paid time off
        every pay period.
        I'm always here so I get the money and spend it on IH gear just like you! 🙂

            We actually aren't supposed to get the bonus, it's really for the hospital only but to keep the peace they
            include radiology…Nice gesture.

              5 weeks of paid vacation here - plus I'm allowed to take unpaid holidays… So I usually take 8 weeks/ year off... Those are the weeks Giles doesn't hear from me...

                The only time I ever take off is when they kick me out because I have too many hours. Our paid time off
                can't exceed 576 hours, last month I was 2 hours away from maxing it out so they made me take a week
                off. I don't ever go on vacation so my PTO adds up fast.

                  That's dedication, BH… I love that... I kinda pick who does my job while I'm gone so I don't find it too hard to go on vacation...

                    Thanks Seul, 19 years worth of dedication. Called in sick once 2 years ago and only been late to work once
                    in 19 years. I'd go on vacation more if I had someone who could afford to go on vacation to go with, all my
                    friends are either unemployed, students or pretty much paycheck to paycheck.
                    If I have to take time off it takes 3 people to do my job so I go down to the wire until they have to kick me
                    out.

                      BH I thought you called in sick a few weeks back do you could be home for an IH shipment?

                      There's levels of dedication… Sometimes a competing interest wins out.

                          Ah ok. I liked the story better the other way. 😉

                          Get started on your Denim for Disabilities pitch yet? Worked in my radiology dept. Most in the field are laid back, in my experience.

                            Well the hospital big wigs here aren't laid back here so I'll have to go through channels and red tape to see if
                            it will fly.

                              BH, key is to make it about the cause, not the denim.
                              I'd guess your peds ward has a rec dept for the kids.
                              Present it to your dept chair as a way to raise money for them.

                                        Been lurking for a while on this forum… I manage a scooter/motorcycle dealership and clothing store. We sell Vespa's, Stella's, Royal Enfield's, Moto Guzzi's and Aprilia's. For clothing we sell stuff like Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Hillside, Filson, Penguin, Wesc and just about to get our first shipment of 3sixteen denim (very excited to get some "real" denim in the store).

                                        I love retail, at least when I am in charge. I get to play with big toys all day and meet all kinds of whacked out people.. today some 16 year old kid bought a bike for his brother who was graduating from college only it turns out he stole the money from his parents and they called the cops on him for doing so... made me laugh a little.

                                            Ha! your telling me. I would love to sell the stuff in my store but I don't think there is a big enough market for it in Toronto to turn over the product often enough. The price points are too high for most of the customers that come in for clothing. We are slowly raising the level of the brands we carry with the introduction of 3sixteen, Oliver Spencer, Filson bags and whatnot but it is a gradual process.
