Wow!!
Some vendor came by at around 12:30 this afternoon.
"We're having a vendor show at 1:30. We're having ice cream treats. Come by if you can, and tell your lab."
I usually drag myself to these shows. Most of the food offerings I can't have. But I touch base with my regular vendors, and see what's new and good.
Since I made a lot of headway into my data plotting, I dragged myself to this show.
"Fill out registeration form for raffle prizes," the box says.
I make a silent groan. I never win anything, then I get harrassed by vendors for months on end. I hate filling these things out.
Run into a long time no see vendor. I asked him what happened to someone's company that was on the list since I needed to talk with her.
"She couldn't make it. Fill out a vendor form, and I'll put a note on it to have her contact you."
*sigh*
So I surrender my work info, and turn in the form.
Show wraps up at 3:00. I get a call at 2:50. "You won the Starbucks card."
So I go and collect my booty. Granted it was the 3rd runner-up prize. But at least surrendering my work info gave me something back in return.
If only I ever went to a Starbucks....
