I Guess the 1st Two Didn’t Count

Jeff has been with Boeing for 15 years as of May 2010.  As a result, he got to select a recognition gift from an online catalog.

He went through it several times and didn’t see anything he was dying for.  He asked me to take a look.  I guess I’m not that picky because I found several things.  However, Tyler’s birthday was coming up and he asked for a watch.  There was a nice Guess watch in the catalog (similar to this one)

and I suggested to Jeff we give it to Tyler.

In the process of ordering the watch, there was an option for engraving.  There was no additional cost, so, why not?  Jeff ordered engraving for it.

We were very surprised when the watch arrived with the following inscription:

TYLER JAMES PEACOCK

15 YEARS

2010

Woops!  We had no idea that they’d automatically put “15 years” on it!  So now, Tyler has a very nice watch inscribed “15 years” that he received on his 17th birthday… he’ll have this nice remembrance of how cheap his re-gifting parents are!
