Neat gifts

We have a customer in Anchorage, Alaska.  She told me that she was sending me "a little something" for being so awesome. (all smiles, here.)  I got a package today...it was, well, quite interesting.  The contents were:
A box of chocolates
A packet of smoked salmon
A tiny jar of spicy honey mustard
A tiny jar of sweet honey mustard
A tiny jar of firewood honey
A stick of Teriyaki Salmon jerky
A stick of smoked salmon jerky
A stick of Teriyaki jerky with Arctic Ox
A packet of Teriyaki Sticks with caribou meat
A package of two Hunter Sticks with reindeer meat

Wow, I am so midwest and naive.  Who knew they had jerky with caribou???  Not me!

We shipped out all out-of-town orders that were due for Christmas today.  That is part one of our three-part incentive.  Tomorrow, all in-town orders must be ready for delivery.  Finally, we must not go above 4% remakes.  If we meet all of those goals, we get paid for Tuesday.  Everyone is off that day, no matter what (YEAH! for 4 day weekends) but it's yet to be determined if we're getting paid for Tuesday. 

If we MAKE the incentive, I get a FIVE day weekend!  I have to go in on Saturday the 31 to run statements, and must lose the extra time earlier in the week.  If we don't make incentive, I'm not short on hours.  If we do make it?  An extra day off.  PHEW!  I need it, let me tell ya.  I'm sick of being crabby for no reason.  My poor kids.  My poor husband.  My poor dog.  I got some makin'-up to do around here.

Let us know what you think of those goodies.  I'm sure the chocolates are gone already.  Those are always the first to go.  :)

(smoked salmon is great -- but very salty)

Cool package. And don't worry about Kevin...you may not be praising him much up there, but I'm telling everyone one how great he is down here! Debbie said at the rate he is going, I'll basically just be picking up a "porch kit" when we come up there next time.
