That sucks for me, I elected to be paid in USD for my first year. My bonus this year is still going to be paid in USD. At the time most economists predicted a fall back down to the $.65 range. That was basically a 20% pay cut for me because the greenback sucked.

Doh!
You do know that, if you had chosen to be paid in $Cdn, it would have gone the other way? You'd still have gotten that 20% cut.
