exchange at the Christmas party. It was quite the combination of guys there. There were the veterans who were making $100k-500k/yr, and then there were us lowly rookies. The rookies tried our best, despite having no money, to get decent gifts. What I got from my boss was a box of junk. It was his daughter's old, broken toys that weren't even worth donating to charity. I took it home and threw it all away. Jerk of a boss right there.
