Most of you have probably read one or two things that I've posted about how great my boss is about my health. Today he went above and beyond that. He gave me my Christmas present, The MASH box set! All 6579 minutes. The entire series plus the movie plus all the bonus stuff that comes in it. Woo-hoo!  :yahoo; My boss ROCKS!

KT0930, I'd say you have a great boss. Do you think he would adopt me? I've been good.  :santahat;

I wonder if I can "accidently" email my boss a link to this thread. Maybe he'd get ideas?  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

Yes, I really like MASH that much! He knew that's what I wanted because last week I went to Target with him to buy stuff for the office Christmas party (gag gifts and raffle prizes), and I pointed it out. He even asked my husband at the party to be sure he wasn't already getting it for me. I had to share with you guys, my husband already knew!

for the last 11 years before he was my boss!!!!  Its just something he does ..... But really he gave me this Sunday 12/23
off rather than having me be off for 12 days for vacation and then come back for 1 day then take 2 days off
for the holidays ....So 1 weeks vacation turned into 15 days off ... :bandance;

KT, I just saw this boxed set at Target today on sale for $165.  Your boss was very generous and I can't believe a man listened and then went back to buy it!  Tell him we all think he did a good job!! :thumbup;

KT, having a great boss is wonderful. My boss shocked the hell out of my husband and I this weekend. He handed my husband $1100 dollars and told my husband to buy me something nice for Christmas. We are still in shock and can't believe he did that. He is a great man, but I would have never expected that.

paris, not only did he go back, but when he went back to Target, they were sold out, so he had to go to Best Buy across the street.

Laurie, WOW!! Can we trade bosses?? That's great!  :2thumbsup;
