  Delia attended the annual meeting of one of her perfume companies this last week, as she has done for the past several years. This time she had a surprise.

  They called her name and asked her to stand up. At first she was afraid she was going to be punished somehow, pointed to as a bad example. Then they announced that she was Number One in the nation for sustained sales of their product VIG (Very Impressive Givenchy). They gave her a certificate with her photo on it (not one of her best shots, unfortunately), a two pound box of Godiva chocolates ... and an additional 20 hours of pay. Even after taxes, that bonus was about as large an amount as she has previously been awarded.

  Delia has often been the top sales person in San Diego for this and other companies she has contracts with. This was the first time she was the top for the country.

  She has decided to stop slacking off.
