Another false hope?

I headed into work and I was listening to Andy Savage radio. I called in for Lick the Producer. I did not get any answers correct. I said, oh come-on... how about a pity question. He said alright "Who was the most pitiful contestant in Lick the Producer today?" I said "Scotty!" Then Steve, the producer, got on. I thought he would cream me. His answers with identical to mine where I answered. He did get one correct. It was one where I knew the last name of the person but not the first name. So I lost one to nothing.

I called Administrative Services. I have an interview scheduled for the web coordinator position for December seventeenth. I was worried about the pay. It looks like it will be low. They said it is negotiable. I will still interview, but if I cannot get the right amount of pay, should they want me I will still turn it down.

I got to work and told Terry about that. He was laughing really hard at that story. He said we were going to have a meeting and he wanted to meat in the Bullpen. I was sitting there looking out the back window of the building. Then I saw something strange. It looked like something big hit the bushes out back. It is about a twelve foot drop from the above parking area. I got up and started to walk towards the window. Terry saw my reaction and followed. We saw a lady stand up. I was shocked someone fell from the above parking lot and her fall was only broken by a bush. She got up and put her thumbs up that she was okay. That was crazy.

After the meeting I went to my desk and worked on the bugs. I was going to meet Jon for lunch at the Three Pigs. So I left at about eleven thirty for that. After lunch was done I went back to the office for about another hour and then started to get ready to leave for Pullman.

I fueled up and left. The trip went really fast. The roads were in great condition. I got to Colfax before five pm. So I went to the post office and picked up the package from Paul Silvi. It was a K-Rock t-shirt. Then I went to the bank and talked to Max about getting a loan for my water situation. I figured that I should get the ball rolling because I did not know what was going to happen with it.

Then I went home and dropped off my stuff. I went to Pullman to meet with Ryan. We were going to go to the Women's basketball game. I filled out the forms for the contests. Ryan said to put his name in. Near halftime I heard them call Ryan's name. I started to laugh. He was shocked that he got called again. I slapped his back and was cracking up. He said you heard your name, right? I said no. He said they called you to. I did not believe him. Then I heard all the names again, and sure enough my name was called just before his. So we both were going to compete.

Ryan went at half time. He had to drive a remote control truck around some cones and then drive a ball the full length of the court and do a lay up. He was beating his opponent by a long way. So he did the lay up and missed. The whole crowd in unison let out a disappointed moan. He got his rebound and put it back up and in. He won.

I was going to have to go the full length of the court in five second and do a lay up. I went at the sixteen minute mark in the second quarter. I drove the whole length but I was underneath the basket when I went to put it up and missed. I ran into the padded basketball stand. So I am oh- for-two in the contests at the basketball games. The women won their game.

Following that Ryan and I got dinner and went to his house and played Madden football. I started to get on a hot streak. In two games I threw for more than one thousand yards and ten touchdowns. Plus I rushed for two more. All with Brett Farve. Farve is listed as the top passed in the NFL and number one vote getter for the Pro Bowl as well as number one in the MVP. He is really hot.

We played until about four-thirty in the morning.
