Level Of Difficulty at Work: 1 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: 15 min here, 10 min there.
Ebay Tuxedo time!
Just came back from the Ritz-Carlton in half moon bay.. quite a nifty place, cash money and no public parking.. Valet all the way.. It was for Fluffielady's teacher-training type thing. 200$ tickets, names on lists, Bidding cards? Yep, silent and live auction. They had some few good items, 1 week stay at some fancy condo by the beach in hawaii, another was one of the famous pictures of Mohammad Ali, signed by him. My favorite was a signed Lance Armstrong Jersey with picture, it was the year he beat cancer and won the Tour de france.. It's valued at 3800$, who knows how much it went for, we left before the piece came out.
There was some NBA superstar from the 1970's there. At first he was talking about life and direction and motivation. Then they had this thing where people were offered to ask questions on 3x5 cards.. well the Superstar got totally into it and was talking for eternity. I mean theres a bunch of teachers, a bunch of rich folk, and others. It's ok to talk about confidence and self-pride and to have the drive to succeed. But to talk about the 7th game of some championship in 1970-something and being benched for an extended period. Nobody really cared.
Looked around the hotel, quite a nice place, cashmoney! They had one bidding for a 2-night stay at their ocean view deluxe suite, valued at $1k. Two people were fighting for it, and one person won it for 900$. lordy. the only thing i was interested in was an ipod with accessories, it finished at 205$. Thats ok though, i have my cellphone. It bumps it as much as i wanted.
Somehow i popped the top button on my tux.. it's over, i need to go look for another one.. heh.
i don't think i can make it to work tommorrow.. awww shucks.
