20 years

It appears I'm approaching my 20 year anniversary at QNX. Wow. So, I now get to choose a 20-year award. Unfortunately, with the RIM purchase, we're back to selecting from a catalog of... stuff. (It was nice when QNX just gave me a budget, and let me choose what I wanted... I bought climbing gear from MEC. They'd found the quality of stuff from the catalog route just didn't match the price being paid for it. But, big company...)

So... lots of watches (which I don't wear) but no pocket watches (which I like). The only sports equipment is for golf. Lots of jewelry, which again, I don't wear. Actually, nothing that really excites me, though a few things that might do.

A couple nice clocks -- one wall, one mantel. I don't think I have good wall space, but I do have a mantel. But would I wind it?

A combined coffee and espresso maker. Ok, I don't make that much coffee... but if I had a machine that made coffee and espresso (and, apparently, cappuccino), I might make more. Sadly, the online reviews for this unit suggest that while it does the job, it may not last too well.

A set of decent stainless steel flatware. My cutlery is... crap. A hodge-podge of crap. Generally grab-bags of Value Village stuff. Might be nice to have a good set of flatware in case I actually want to set a presentable table for a nice dinner or something.

(Hm... the 15 year section has a handy looking blender, and I need a blender. Wonder if I'm allowed to down-grade my selection?)
