iPhone Ridonkulousness
Ok so...I don't really know what is going to happen until tomorrow (or I guess today since it is past midnight). I received a phone call from one of the VPs who basically planned and oversaw all the logistical components of the golf outing where I won said iPhone the other day (it was actually a gift card for the iPhone specifically). After apologizing for calling me after hours, she asked me if I spent the money yet to which I replied "...no". She then asked me not to spend it so that we could have a "conversation" about it.
I think I might have to surrender my iPhone afterall.
On the one hand, I don't think I should have entered the raffle to begin with since I was staff working this event. It was really meant for the corporate big wigs and potential funders that we did this in the first place, and I don't think it looked to good that one if it's own staff members won. However I'm a little uneasy about how this conversation will turn out. I shouldn't stress about it; if she asks me to give it back then I will give it back, and part of me just wishes I would have thrown my name out and told them to draw another one but I didn't have the moral/ethical foresight to do that. So right now I'm left with guilt and a gift certificate for an iPhone. And tomorrow I might just be left with guilt and nothing else. We'll see...
