Yesterday I went to the company picnic. I knew that because of the hours I work, I wouldn’t know anyone there except my two co-workers, and nobody would know me, but I went anyway. At 2:00 there was a door-prize drawing, and they had some really nice items, along with some smaller items.
My sister, my daughter, and I were sitting with one of my co-workers, Kristine, and her cousin. We sat there and saw the flat-screen TV go, the camcorder, the digital camera… all the really good prizes were being given away. Each time someone’s name was called, lots of people would applaud. We didn’t know these people, but we gave our semi-applause anyway.
I told Kristine that if either of us won anything, we would have to applaud and yell really loud, because nobody else would. I was kind of sort of kidding. Then Kristine’s name got called for a $50 Visa gift card. HA! The four of us clapped and yelled WOOOHOOO KRISTINE!!! as she went up and got her prize…. and we really were the only four applauding… WOW, I thought SOMEONE else would have been kind, lmao.
Then a couple of prizes later, as we had forgotten about it, we were kind of all talking, my name was called (for a grill tool set… you know, spatula, tongs, big giant fork). MY PEEPS DID NOT HEAR MY NAME AND CONTINUED TALKING!!! LMAO!!! So it’s like this….
“And now for the blah blah blah…. Melody Ralls!”… SILENCE.
I touched my sister’s arm… “That’s me.” I touched Kristine’s arm…. “That’s my name.” They both looked startled, and as I stood up they all yelled and applauded to break the silence.
It was kind of embarrasing but hey…. I WON SOMETHING!!! WOOOOOO HOOOOO!!!
After I had collected my prize and sat back down, we all sat there through another three names then I said, “You know, we can go, now.” Kristine said “We sure can.” and we all got up and rudely left before all the prizes were given out. hehe.grant advice small business loanofficer loan american africanbridge bankruptcy after loanagreement loan car employee employerband loan aidaircraft rate loans suppliesrates aircraft loans supply interestrates supply aircraft loansinvestor al loan hard moneysoftware alabama day pay loanporno download movielesbian sex reality movieslicking movie sapphicsapphic movies midgetmovies shower sapphicscream movie mp3shemale and movies clipsmovies teen kellylesbian teen moviemovies 1001
WOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Congrats Mel!
Love it when the underdog wins
Ty Skye!
Congrats and
:P
Good for you Mel! Give ‘em hell
Was it at least a fairly good quality prize?
Well yeah, i mean for grilling utensils, they’re nice and sturdy, lol
I like family reunions. We basically do the same stuff as your company picnic. I always win something, because I’m special.
Winning feels good at times. I am another one who rarely wins anything, so when it happens, its sweet! Congrats.
Nobody cheered for you like you did for the strangers? Shame. Probably the loosers, thinking who the hell is she? Does she even work with us? And she’s winning something instead of me?! LOL
I find that kind of ironic- seeing as how you don’t cook.
Ohhh. The plot thickens…(me sees a Christmas gift…)
Tim, in my family, the only reunions we have are called funerals.
Exactly, mac! That’s what they were thinking, I know it!
LMFAO @ Diane and Corey!
It’s true that I don’t cook (much) but I DO grill all summer long.
:o Just think of all the other uses for those tools — there’s always more than one way to do everything — who says they have to be used for cooking???? Hope the winning streak continues!
