please excuse me as i wallow in my self-pity
so last month i entered a picture of my cousin, donnie, in the Huggies Cutest Little Bengals Baby Contest. i gave the pic to my cousins (donnie's parents) for christmas last year, and figured it might be good for this contest. i didn't read when the winners would be notified until tonight. it says "the winners will be notified by mail and/or phone on or about November 29, 2006."
it just so happens that i got a call from 'United Food & Comm..." aka, United food and commercial workers 1099, aka, the kroger union, on November 29th. however, then, i thought they were calling for a survey or to ask me what my union can do for me or some stuff like that, and didn't answer it. tonight it clicked. i called my mom and asked her to check the caller id to see when they called. 9-29. *sigh*
either i won the grand prize, one of the 4 runner-up prizes, or it was a bizarre coincidence that the kroger union called me on that day. btw, kroger was one of the sponsers of the contest.
so i started calling the union around 7:45ish i guess. the extention to the receptionist wouldn't work, so i'm guessing i'll have to try back tomorrow during regular hours.
however, there is more to the fine print... "Employees, officers and directors of Kimberly-Clark Global Sales, Inc, Kroger stores, the Cincinnati Bengals, the NFL and its member teams, and their affiliate companies, agencies, advertising agencies, promotional suppliers and their immediate families are not eligible."
if they called me to let me know i won, they don't know i'm a kroger employee yet. *sulk*
here's what i could have won:
grand prize: 2 tickets to the dec. 10 bengals game, where my pic would be featured on the scoreboard; pictnic with a bengals player and his family, a year supply of huggies diapers (this would be for my cousin, donnie's mom, who's pregnant); $1,000 bengals pro shop gift card, autographed bengals football, bengals/huggies brand gift pack
or
4 runner-up prizes: two tickets to the december 10th bengals game, where my pic would be featured on the scoreboard, $100 bengals pro shop gift card, bengals/huggies brand gift pack.
*hates the world*
i can't even begin to imagine my photograph on a scoreboard. that exposure is the most exciting feature of this prize. everything else is sweet too, but having my photograph on the scoreboard... on tv and everything... *basks in potential glory*
i just hate it... it's like saying "hey, you're a good photographer/your photograph is good, but you work for kroger, so let's act like we never got your picture in the first place. mmmkay?"
kroger is ruining my life. if i quit tomorrow, maybe i can still win the contest.
leave me some love... i need it.
