A test of willpower... (and a nod to DAVIDSW)

[dbhak22]

So I'm due for a promotion at work. To commemorate the promotion (whenever it happens), I wanted to get a new watch. Specifically, a DJ 116234. Of course I reached out to the amazing DAVIDSW and it took a few weeks but he got one and it arrived yesterday (btw, he got the watch on Thursday afternoon...sent him the funds late afternoon west coast time, had the watch Friday morning at 9:30AM! All the way from FL to CA, wow.). Once the package was in hand, I had my wife open it while showing her a picture of what the watch should look like so she can confirm the right one was inside...without me seeing/feeling/hearing the watch at all. As soon as she confirmed, I told her to put everything back into the FedEx box. I sealed it up and put it away where I won't see it everyday. I will not open it back up until the promotion happens and I'm praying I didn't jinx it by getting the commemoration gift before it actually happens! My boss told me the executive meeting to approve/reject the promos is happening Monday, 8/25...fingers crossed.

If it doesn't happen this time around, the watch will stay where it is until next quarter when promos are reviewed again...lets hope it's not a vintage piece before I get to enjoy it,
