Showing up to work on Monday - Bring the box of donuts, please: April 2-8 Produce Promotions

I'm amazed at the work ethic of some of you who voted in the Fresh Talk poll. The question was framed as such: If you won $50 million in the lottery/powerball, would you A) Walk away from your job immediately, not letting the screen door smack you on the way out B) Take an extended vacation but eventually come back C) Show up to work on Monday like usual. Five of 23, or 21%, say they would show up on Monday like usual. If you won $50 million over the weekend, brother, you'd better bring the box of donuts, pay for lunch and buy a round for everyone after work.
