Christmas Party - Dunkin Donuts style
If there's one thing that I learned about Nick today, it's that he really loves all his people. To prove it, here's Nick's note that he posted at the stores tonight [took a copy, haha]:
Dear Customers,
My business is going really well, but tonight I'm going to have to close the store. I'm taking my staff out for a night of fun. They are the reason this business keeps going and I owe this to them. I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. There are several other Dunkin Donuts in the area that will remain open for the night, but none of them have my staff....
Everybody came home with at least $150 worth of something - Christmas bonus checks, gift certs, tickets to games, tickets to movies, electronics. The food was good, the bar was insane. The man showed his appreciation of his employees, and he showed it good.
People ask me why I stay at Dunkin and it is only now that I learn the answer: Nick loves us, me, and there is just no amount of money or comfort out there that could compensate for that.
It was great. I'll come again next year. Maybe I'll win the flat screen tv then. :)

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.Draw and paint.Learn how to play Sudoku.- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
