I guess its good to work in the IT department

I had a lot of downtime between assignments due to every boss having to review every little change and revision I made to the program I was writing. When working in a lab, some tests required hours to complete but they didn't require supervision (ever watch dirt dry? lol)

I think as long as the employee is meeting (and exceeding) expectations a little reward is a good thing. There is no reason to punish all just because a few people are screwing around.

Back to the original topic tho, I hope you can get on more and share pictures! We'll miss you!
