I'm a Winner!!!!
Well, I left work early on Wednesday because I was sick - which is a rarity for me, but I think I had the flu. I wasn't feeling the best yesterday, but did go in to work because I just can't afford to miss 2 days in one week!! And I am soo glad that I did!
Work was slow, the phones weren't really ringing and I had the radio on, as always, listening to Dove 92.1 (easy listening). I thought that over the past few days I had been hearing Barry Manilow concert mentioned, but didn't really listen. So, yesterday, I heard them say that the 7th caller would win 2 tickets to see him in Tampa at the St Pete Times Forum on October 30th - then they gave the number. I quickly wrote it down and called thinking, there's no way! The first time it rang once, then nothing. So I hung up, and hit redial....I got an answer and the lady started by asking if I had won anything in the past 30 days, I said no, and she proceeded to ask my name, address, etc. She told me I could pick up my tickets in the next 2 weeks! I won 2 tickets to see Barry!! On his One Night Live/One Last Time Tour!! This is to be his final tour!!!!
I went to pick up the tickets today, but they hadn't arrived at the station yet, so I have to call the middle of next week before going to pick them up. I am soo jazzed!!!
I was also offered a part-time job by a building contractor who came into the office to give a deposit for a couple of jobs we are going to do for him. It could be interesting to learn something new, although I would be helping him with Quickbooks - the program we use at work. It would be doing basically what I am doing now, only like 4-6 hours a week - probably on Saturdays. He seems like a nice guy who just needs a bit of help with his paperwork. I told him I would think about it - but I don't want to do anything to make my bosses feel like I am looking for something else or threatened. So, I will pray to make the right decision...
I still don't feel the best today, but I am just happy that I have some other things to think about other than Emmet Hand!
