winner winner winner!
i was at phil's bbq last night with some friends, and i insisted on buying dinner for one of them (she's currently unemployed, and the get together was in her honor... how could i not??). as i was waiting in line, i noticed that there was a small sign advertising phil's 10-year anniversary, celebrated by the store with hourly giveaways and fabulous prizes. i looked around, but didn't see how to actually throw my name in the hat of prizes, so i gave up. but while the register was spitting out my receipt at the counter, the cashier was suddenly quite loud and excited, saying "you won!" and shoving a receipt in my face. turns out, i was that hour's prize winner, as selected by the computer. as we walked to the prize canister, i asked what i could win. "tshirts, bikes, amusement park tickets...". i told him that "i don't want no tshirt." he told me to choose wisely then.
my hand reached in, the envelope came out, and it was every girl's dream: plastic. a gift card for phil's, though when i asked how much was on it, every visor-clad head shrugged with "i don't know"s. turns out it was $10, as the automated lady told me from the customer service # on the back.
how's that for karma?
current mood: i like my bbq hot
