Ok, its nothing big or anything but still cool.  At work on Friday, the company had a super bowl lunch (aka free lunch), I’m guessing to boost company morale after the layoffs last week.  Anyway, they had 2 games.  For the first game, everyone got a piece of paper with a list of words all scrambled up.  You had to unscramble the most in 3 minutes.  I was sitting at a table where all these people were helping each other.  They were stuck on a bunch, so I told them the answer, then I needed 2, so they told me.  We filled out the whole sheet.  The second game was a word search – find as many words as you can in 3 minutes.

An hour or so after lunch, the people in charge of the games came by my desk and said there was a tie so I had to draw a number – closest to 10 wins.  I drew a 6 or a 9.  Apparently, someone else also drew a 6 or a 9.  They couldn’t tell.  So we had to redraw.  So they left and I had to wait to see if I won.

They took a really long time and I finally saw them nearby and shouted out, “did I win?”  Someone was like no.  Then they had walked behind some file cabinets and I couldn’t see them.  Next thing you know, they all come running at me while blowing a whistle and throwing confetti all over me and my desk.  It turns out that I won both!!!  SWEET!!

I won two gift cards.  One to chilis and one to tgif.  Immediately, people on my team are like, “are you taking us out to lunch next week?”  Then I get a call from one of the people at my table during the game and they said the same thing.  I was kinda confused.  I didn’t know what to do.  Had they won it, I wouldn’t have expected them to share it with me.  After all, I won it by drawing the numbers.  Anyway, I felt so awkward and guilty that I went over to them and was like, here you can split it amongst yourselves.  It was okay since I won 2 cards.  Then they were like, no we’re just kidding, blah blah blah, we don’t want to guilt trip you…blah blah blah.  Whatever.  So I was like, no take it.  Then she was like, ok we’ll all go together.  Ok, $25 is not going to feed 4 people.  Sigh.

Oh well, I still won!  Hooray!
