Poll question: How do you reward yourself?
I was just thinking about this as I tried to incentivize myself to buckle down and get some work done. What do you use to reward yourself for accomplishing something?

6. That's just for a few hours a week.
The rest of the time I have an office job, though I am able to telecommute part of the week so I can spend more time being a mom.


My office job is also in the jazz field, so I'm lucky to be working with something about which I am passionate.

8. office work is the suck
I am glad I have the experience though, it makes office space a whole lotta more fun. Thats good you get to do something you love with the Jazz gig, I wish I could play sports so I could do that.

13. You know I never did work in fast food
worked at a grocery store last year, hated it because management sucked but I Was allowed to unionize, well only because I worked for a Maryland HQed company, Right to Work laws are the worst.

3. Shopping online
I, unfortunately, also do this to stave off boredom usually at work. It gets expensive!

4. either drugs,
or furious masturbation. Sometimes, if I've been REALLY good, both. ;-)

12. I hate to admit this, but I do reward myself with shopping.
I know that's bad, but I have to have some remaining vices.

16. I mostly reward myself with some alone time.
No matter if its some computer time, making myself a nice steak, some videogaming, or just a bath.
