embraer170

Give me some ideas for rewarding oneself after a big promotion at work.

Maybe I am boring but I have can't think of anything I want.

Viking drinking horn.........snap!

Morf

Needlessly expensive piece of technology.

Many sensibly priced pieces of technology.

Amirani

Some whiskey and at least 1 cigar. That's what I generally go for.

Paulie Gualtieri

something that can mark the date in in your memory for years to come , be it a memory of celebration , or something more tangible , a new watch , or eh................

wandatowell

Were I to get a promotion I'd actually take a Friday/Monday off if possible and have a relaxing weekend for myself before tearing into work again.

Probably look to have a couple of pints, I've never had a massage so I could go for that, a walk around Killarney National park and I suppose you'd have to put a cigar in there - preferably smoked whilst listening to the smooth tones of Otis Redding

Kev.OC

Motorbike!! :pac:

Tabnabs

Omega watch

Sleepy

Book a holiday?

Really depends what your into...

A lavish weekend away involving all of the above ideally!

ongarboy

A weekend away break is what I always did (if the promotion came with a payrise).

Congrats, btw!

I was going to see if someone else mentioned this but if you don't have a massive Irish breakfast after whatever you plan then Ill be very disappointed.

Santa Cruz

Nice Chinese massage with happy ending, then the full Irish breakfast/brunch

"I'm sorry embraer170, but I'm going to have to demote you to your previous position."

"What!?! But why?"

"You arrived to work today on a motorbike, with a prostitute on the back, absolutely stinking of whiskey and cigar smoke, and began demanding the secretary give you a hot stone massage in exchange for your new Omega watch."

"But! It's not my fault! Strangers on the internet told me to do it!"

A Tag Heuer watch? Meal out in Shanahans or similar.

BNMC

A new monacle?

Cork selfbuild

I'd go for a new top of the range smart 50" tv with accompanying surround sound system!

Lucena

I'm in the same boat as the OP, stuck for ideas. Not really into gadgetry.

Maybe a really nice restaurant, or a holiday somewhere you've really wanted to go, but never got around to.

If you're into wine/whisk(e)y/beer, some really good bottles.

Most of the stuff I'm into involves self-improvement through work or effort (keeping fit, competitive chess, languages) so there aren't really any "throw money at it" short cuts.

If I could choose something, it would be time off to go on a long holiday, but with great power comes great responsibilities, and more hours in the office!

codrulz

a nice watch or maybe a nice speaaker sony or bose perhaps.

sonny jim bob jones

If you travel, a set of Bose QC-15 noise canceling headphones. Expensive but worth it.

boobar

A fancy Mont Blanc pen so that you look the part...

So are you enjoying making the burgers instead of the fries?

embraer170

Thanks for the ideas....

I'd love a very long holiday but work + family commitments won't allow for it in the near future. I have all the computers, mobile phones and electronic gadgets I want. I have a nice car so upgrading that now would be unreasonable...

Sleepy

Weekend away with the missus sounds the way to go so...

_Kaiser_

Well I bought myself this a few months back as a reward for fighting for and getting what I was due in work.

Brings a smile to my face every time

Cyclepath

Couple of nights at Brooklodge in Wicklow, good massage in the Spa, soak in the hot tub, nice meal in the restaurant, oh and there's a golf course if you want to spoil a decent walk etc... Works every time for me!

If embraer170 worked for me and did that...i'd let him take my job because he is a boss

Sure only what every Irish man is obsessed with, upgrade your home entertainment setup. Be it HiFi or DVD/Bluray theatre system or tv/projector.

cabledude

I'd buy myself a new bottle of really expensive aftershave and a 50" LCD TV for the sitting room. I'd also head out on the Friday night with the missus for a meal.

I'd bring the girlfriend out on the lash on the Saturday night .
