This weeks"perks" haul so far, delivered (surprise!) to my desk; not all at once.

** 2 high end chocolate bars.
** 1 large, high end coffee drink.
**High end BBQ picnic/lunch, with many beef ribs.

**Get together for coffee and “dinner, another time”, with a high end realtor who comes by my building now the then.
Quantity and Quality, in every way.
