So!

















































How 'bout them stock options, folks ?!

Bostwick employee # 1: "I am so happy I hold options to a Gizillion shares of
Bostwick Laboratories".

Bostwick employee #2: So a gizillion times "zero" is still zero.

Bostwick employee #1: I am soooooooooooo stupid. Will you trade you a piece of gum for all of my shares?


What is the real value of Bostwick Stock?

Exercise your "option" to get the answer to that question! For a good laugh, ask HR or for a heartier laugh, ask finance!!!!
 






I thank god every day that I didn't purchase anything.


I agree. I thank God everyday that I have a wonderful husband that realizes we can be totally happy (even moreso than now) WITHOUT my income and stress from BL. I for one will not relocate. Making him and my family happy is more inportant than my bank deposits. If RIC closes so be it. We will not be the first and certainly not the last people who fell victim to their company closing. When this chapter ends, I have a new and exciting one to start with my family. Life should NEVER be about money!

Excellent post. Words to live by. No doubt you're a great wife and a great woman! Thank you for opening up my eyes.
 


















Gordo, it's all about your spouse, family and happiness you fool. Get one and you'll see the difference it makes! My husband greets me at the door, not my job.

Very, very true. These young (and trying to be young) fools have no idea the difference that makes. They haven't the slightest clue, until they wake up one day and are middle aged and have NOTHING except a job!

Holy crap you're right! I just did a mental checlist and realize I have nothing except for this damn job and exactly what I'm missing out from because of this God forsaken job!
