Winners and Losers

Someone told me the other day that you should never give a Narwhal a library card.

I still don’t know what that means or exactly how it’s an ice-breaker, but it certainly has you thinking doesn’t it? I’m trying to get back in the habit of blogging daily (Vanessa if I can do this for 2 weeks straight it’s your turn), but it becomes really difficult when I work the hours I work. It’s depressing in that sense that I literally don’t have any free time in the day to where I can just ponder about why things are the way they are.

Is that what it means to be grown up?

Clearing my head seems like a Tom Cruise Mission Impossible right now. I’m frustrated with my job (what’s new). We’re the 17th biggest company on the fortune 500 and we’re DOWNSIZING. I mean come on? Take into account that not only have people been laid off and terminated, but now it just means more work for us in an already overly stressed environment.

Honestly, this was not the gig I though I would be signing up for. I really don’t want to even talk more on the subject, but let’s just say I’m currently job searching.

In other news, I got an interesting present in the mail. Have you ever received those pre-made mailing address stickers? Not that I mail too much stuff out but now I have labels with bears, trout, wolves, and the American flag. The disabled verteran’s association sent it out as a sort of fund raiser.



They even gave me a nickel to mail back to them.

Now of course, I’m going to mail back more than that nickel and I thought of a clever way of killing two birds with one stone. I recently rediscovered how much I love to gamble and as of late have been doing the super lotto/mega millions. I mean you can’t win if you don’t play right?

The learning curve was a bit rough in spots. I accidentally bought one set of numbers 10 times so now I have the same ticket until October, but after ironing out the details I made a vow with the higher powers that be that if I won, I’d donate half of my winnings to a charity.

I won $3 dollars.

The irony doesn’t escape me and I intend to make good on my promise so I’m just going to take my entire winnings and donate them to this veteran’s fund.

What would you do if you won the lottery?
