Sting of Good Luck
I don't know what's going on this week, but I've been having a lot of good luck this week. First, I win an iPod. Second, I'm getting hit on by this girl at work. And third, I just got back from shopping and found myself great deals all night long.
Ok...let me start with the iPod. On Wednesday, our company had a health fair and the deal is that the employees have to visit all the booth and get our card stamped, saying that we visited the booth, so we could be entered into a drawing for prizes. Well, I visited every booth and turned in my card, but didn't make it out to see the drawing that took place later on in the day cuz I got busy with work. That afternoon Henry and Adame comes into my office and congratulates me on winning an iPod. Knowing that these two are pranksters...I immediately said..."Get the hell out of my office. That's a sick joke." After a few laughs, they left. I still hadn't believed them. Then Keri walks into the office to congratulate me. Ok...I'm starting to believe now...but not fully. Then I run into Tim yesterday and then he congratulated me. Ok...I'm really starting to believe. Well, turns out that I really did win. An email was sent out today listing all the winners and there I saw my name...under the iPod Nano. How awesome! I never thought I would win. I've never won anything to this magnitude before so I'm so excited! Since I missed the prize presentation, I have to wait until Monday to get my prize. Well, the prize does comes with just a lil disappointment. Earlier that day...Betty kept saying that she would win one of the iPods and that I would win the second one. I feel terrible that she didn't win. I gave her a keychain from the fair, but I can't give her the iPod....I want this one! I don't know...maybe I'll take her out for a nice dinner or something. I feel so bad that she didn't win anything.
Ok...so this leads me right to my second whip of luck. Ok...maybe this one is not so much about luck...but it's certainly a positive and flattering moment. Speaking of Betty...here's a lil introduction to her. She's this pretty hot looking intern from Colombia that many guys have been jocking. We've hanged out a few times and she seems to be warming up to me. That's all anyone needs to know for right now. Well today at lunch she was so flirtatous with me. I think everyone saw too. I told her about how I won the iPod and that I was afraid to tell her cuz I knew she would be mad at me...but she wasn't. She started telling me about how she needs to go shopping today to buy 2 cameras and 2 iPods....stuff for her family, dad, and boyfriend. We all were in ooo and ahhs. Then she leans over to me and says..."See...you need a girlfriend like me." Whoa!...did she just make a pass at me?! I'm thinking...cool... But then not so much cuz I don't want ppl to start thinking things...especially work ppl. The last thing I want is to mix business with pleasure. That's just one of the rules I set for myself. If she wasn't from work, I wouldn't mind hooking up cuz I think we look really good together, but it's best I leave things alone. So after she said that to me...I wasn't quick to say anything cuz I didn't want to escalade that conversation. I just laughed it off.
Ok...so onto the latest. I went to Macy's tonight trying to find a nice coat to wear for when I go to Paris. Man...was I ever so lucky. I found two really nice jackets that had my size. And not only that, but it fitted me so well. Yes it was a lil expensive, but I got some additional discounts so that was like icing on the cake. But to really top things off, my mom was able to find two jackets that had her size. One was a leather jacket and the other was like a wool coat. Yes...a lil expensive, but definitely worth it seeing how much she liked that leather jacket. I initially didn't get any additional discounts for the jackets, but then I decided to go back to the lady that rang me up for my jackets to ask her why my mom's jackets didn't get any additional discounts. Well, she ended up giving me an addition 10% off. How awesome!
Well, with all these good things that happened, I'm sure something bad will happen soon. You know...ying and yang. I'm so skeptical to this. Now I'll constantly be looking over my shoulders until something bad happens. I just can't believe that I had such good luck without having some sort of reprecussion. I just know something is going to happen to offset this good luck string of mine. It always comes back to collect.
