. . . and so does Bill.  This is the one time of the year that I am glad he does what he does.  What exactly does he do?  He’s a project manager for an electrical contractor.  What that means is that every time I go somewhere with him, he asks me if I want to know how much that light fixture is (and the answer is usually no, I really don’t care).  He works with a lot of suppliers, and we get things every so often during the year.  He usually goes to a Chicago White Sox game once a year on one of the suppliers.  We do the same for people Bill works with (like general contractors and such).

This time of the year Bill gets a good amount of free stuff from the suppliers, and it started already.  Yesterday, I guess he got lunch bought for him, a clock, and 2 Best Buy gift certificates.  We don’t know how much is on those certificates, but we are guessing probably $25.  We could have used that last week when we bought camcorder, but what are you going to do?  I can’t wait to see what else we are doing to get!  I know that Christmas isn’t about the gifts and all that, but it is nice to get stuff.
