Company Party Last Night

And I won the grand prize in the raffle!!!!! A trip for two to New Orleans, all expenses paid! Actually, we can go anywhere there's a Ritz Carlton. When we got to the party, we were all given a raffle ticket.

They gave away two iPods first, and then drew the grand prize and before hand they said whoever won, had to get on the dance floor (alone) and dance for twenty seconds up to the stage to get the prize - ME - who doesn't dance! LOL

Airline tickets, Ritz Carlton tickets and American Express gift cards for spending money. We think we're actually going to go to Orlando instead over the 4th of July weekend and stay three nights (three nights will use up the Ritz Carlton money).

I NEVER win anything, the party was pretty lame, but we stayed for the drawing - thank goodness! The theme was Night in New Orleans and we basically sat at the table most of the night and ate and listened to the New Orleans band. No real entertainment other than that.

And then when I was leaving, HR stopped me and said that I'd see a bonus for $2400 on my pay stub, because they already paid the taxes on it (the prize was worth $1500, so they paid $900 in taxes).

And I won an iPod on Thursday night at our annual Bowl-A-Rama. I think I need to go play the lottery now! LOL

:O

Well, since you're essentially me, I'll let you tell him he's not going! :rolleyes:

Congrats again on winning! Although I do find it highly humorous that you had to dance solo, when the one thing you didn't want to do was dance. :giggle: It had to be worth it though. ;)

I'm so happy for you girl! And I won't guilt you about taking me with ya. I'm such a good friend! (Good enough to take with you right? :yes: )

You had a party and post No Pictures?? What up wit dat??

No kidding - as soon as they said "the winner will have 20 seconds to get up here, get in the middle of the dance floor and dance their way to the stage" I knew that they were going to call my number. I was kinda going "please not me, please not me, please not me! Dag nabbit! It's me!"

My boss and his wife were sitting with us, so that was pretty cool. And then his boss came up to me shortly after and he was like "I wasn't paying attention, but saw you up there dancing and figured you must have won something!"

LOL! Well it wouldn't be the first time Karl gets stuck with me. :giggle: I still think since you both share the same brain, you'll both experience the trip so you should share the wealth!

Cool deal, congrats!
