stanford bonus

today stanford university gave out university-wide bonuses to the staff and faculty. we were given $250. and after taxes, the amount came out to $142. apparently, the university has never shown such display of generosity before and i'm not sure they ever will again. it was a nice surprise, especially with the holidays and family birthdays coming up... including mine.

this is what i'm getting myself...they cost $245 and they are mbt shoes. mbt stands for masai barefoot technology developed by the swiss. the swiss are always developing comfortable shoes, aren't they? they say these shoes are the smallest gym and help your posture, which i definitely need! there's a video on how you should start wearing them to get used to them. i'm so getting these by the end of the month...
