  i received presents! first came the boss' gift. small box, wrapped in red paper, topped off with a yellow ribbon. i now have a new wallet. then an officemate gave me a small figurine that would look good hanging on a christmas tree. if i had one. next came the package for contractuals: assorted grocery items, pang -spaghetti and fruit salad. am crossing fingers for my november s'weldo and the gma bonus.
