Know more than we do? Tell Us!

Yes, you are doing this for dough, but of almost equal importance, you are doing it for the look on people’s faces as they get up off that bed, stretch their arms over their head, yawn, smile, and nearly fall asleep standing up. Like a cat’s morning stretch. It's a good feeling to know that you helped relax someone's pains, problems and worries away. That’s your bonus. (No, seriously – working for Massage Envy, that’s the only bonus you are getting this year.)
