My employer has this "point" bank where we receive points if someone (boss, coworker, other management) thinks we've done a good job, he or she can award us points. Each point is the equivalent to 1 US Dollar. Last year, I used 500 points to buy XMas gifts and it really came in handy.
I currently have 562 points and I want to buy something for myself because I've been feeling semi "empty" lately. Treating myself on my company's dime seems like it might make me feel better. I listed a few things below that I kind of had my eye on:
- Flip or Aiptek mini camcorder (179 - 198 points)
- Propane Grill (384 - 417 points)
- Roomba Vacuum (385 - 418 points)
- Elliptical Trainer (425 points)
- Color laser printer (407 - 449 points)
- 26" Samsung LCD TV (467 points)
- GPS Unit - Garmin or Sonocaddie (220 - 468 points)
- $500 Destination Giftcard - Travelocity, Carnival Cruises, etc...
- $550 AmEx Gift Card
I'm leaning towards a color laser printer or a GPS. What do you think I should get? Keep in mind my points also have to pay for shipping and handling. It's kind of dumb, but hey... if I get $450 worth of electronics and all I have to pay for is shipping + taxes, then, I think it's worth it!

no duh - destination points! Take a vacation!!!
hehe... I def. could use a vacation.
I'm thinking of doing the AmEx card, because I can use that on Travelocity, so it might be able to pay for some plane tix. ;) But a cruise does sound nice.
Uh, let me restate. I can use it for airline tickets via Travelocity. I think (I'd have to check again) the Destination cards are only the cruise ones... I dunno. Either way, it'd be nice to have a chunk of $$ for a vacay. :)
