    In reply to Conde Nast's Subsistence-Level Holiday Gift
    I'm glad to have ever gotten anything. In my career at the Daily News I got from the first year to my last, absolutely nothing.

    This year I actually got two (!) items with a combined value of perhaps just over $20.

    After a prolonged famine, having some bones to boil into stock is better than nothing. Merry Recession to all!

    My company makes everyone write letters to 'Santa' and from those submitted, 6 people will be selected and get the thing they wrote for (has to be under $100).
    I still don't know if they draw the names, or pick the letters they liked the best.
    Needless to say, in the 4 years I've worked there I've come home empty handed.

    Bloomy is doing radio promos for the all-news AM station in Toronto, identifying himself only as founder of Bloomberg Media. I think the station must have recently signed with Bloomberg for business news reports.

    I guess in the third term, anything goes.

    She never asked about a book claiming that Holmes' daughter, Suri, was created from the frozen sperm of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Was she afraid ?


    hah, that's about on par with Mike Wallace asking Obama if he was really born in Kenya... is she fucking insane?

    I would much rather get a gift card than any of the other things? This is a large step up from a glass bowl (which looks to be worth about $15 so it doesn't seem like they've stepped down in terms of pricing here).

    @allyzay: that glass bowl was Orrefors! Not cheap. $15 at their own cafeteria is cheap.

    I'm in the minority on the Orrefors for Conde 2005 bowl, but I like it.

    @allyzay: Lambertson Truex is a crazy-expensive leather goods and accessories brand. Unless the aforesaid bag was made out of cardboard/cloth, I think Conde Nast's Xmas party favors definitely peaked in 2006.
