Richer sound quality!
Today I found out I was getting a $1,086 cash award, which seems cool until you take into account I can't get a pay raise until I get promoted and my management won't put me forward for the promotion (going on 5 years). I am stuck at the top of my pay band and unable to move up. A pay raise is far better than a yearly cash award, even if spread out over the year, since it carries over year to year. Oldest is 2-1/2 years from college. Maybe taking German will pay off and I can send her to Germany for free college.
