Lee Bucks

So, every once in a while, the VP asks a challenging question in a meeting. Whoever answers the question right gets a dollar—or as they call them, "Lee Bucks." I've gotten two right and spent the two bucks. My supervisor was appalled; evidently, every single member of the management team has their "Lee Bucks" pinned to their cubicle wall like a trophy. I defended myself by saying, "well, you guys make more money than me; I need every dollar I can get." At which point my supervisor blushes a little bit and turns to look at her computer and mumbles, "don't... presume you make less money than me if you don't know..."

On a related note, she only has two Lee Bucks posted to her wall. She has a meeting with him two or three times a week. I have a meeting with him once every three or four months. I also have earned two Lee Bucks.

Also, I just started here last November.

I'm thinking of breaking a twenty and putting a fan of singles on my cubicle wall.
