Holy Crapamoly!

I just won a $500 gift certificate to GiftCertificates.com!

A few weeks back, Sky Bank posted a survey on our intranet site regarding our corporate culture. The big gimmick to get people to complete said survey was a drawing for one of 27 gift certificates, ranging from $1000 to $100. I got back from vacation just in time to finish the survey before the deadline, and I didn't give it any more thought once I'd finished.

Until today.

One of my cube-mates was checking out the intranet site ("Sky Central") and informed me—once I'd gotten off the phone with whomever I was helping at the time—that I'd won something. So, I reloaded Sky Central, clicked on the story link... and found that I'd won freakin' $500. Damn!

Aaron and I haven't figured out what we're going to buy yet, although household appliances and computer upgrades are at the top of the list.

There was an amusing e-mail conversation today between myself and Rob Wozniak (of RCC Special Projects Team fame, who works in my department). Yesterday, he called a radio station and won the new Velvet Revolver CD—he told all of us in the office that he'd make us a copy, since we were all so intrigued by the idea of Guns N Roses meets the dude from STP. So, today, after the office discovered my newfound booty...

Rob:
You can buy your own cd now with your mighty 500 dollar gift certificate!!!!! Show off!!!

Me:
*ppppppppthbt*
Sherry?s been telling Scott that he should be nice to me ? maybe I?ll buy something for my co-workers... (right.)

Rob:
My thoughts exactly.
Buy something that?s gold plated. Just because its overly flashy.

Me:
I wonder if I could get a gold-plated video capture card...?

In other "holy fuckamoly" news, my Smurf auction is up to $94 with a little under two hours to go.

Nice.
