I'm at work now. Got here at 10:00, probably won't get out until about 5:30, but it's not that bad...we work for a bit, wait for the technical folks to do their stuff, do some more work, wait some more. During my down time, I was surfing and found the following link for any AAA members looking for discounted giftcards:
http://ww2.aaa.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/AAAOnline.woa/512?zip=07645&association=aaa&club=75&page=giftcards&sessionRedirect=1133639727514
Click on Shop Now under "Merchant Gift Cards"
If you have AAA, you can get 5% off $25 gift cards from a variety of merchants. You can buy up to 30 cards per merchant per year. This is not as good a deal as some other programs out there (which are often difficult to sign up for), but it's better than paying full price, if you shop at the store anyway.
So I'll pick up a bit of overtime in my next check (though it is limited to $250 before taxes), and my parking, tolls and gas will be reimbursed. They brought in breakfast and lunch for us, so there's no out-of-pocket there. There's a really good discount book store nearby, and I still have an hour to shoot before I'm needed, so I may go there...
