Mega Million

There is a woman lets call her Miss P. at my work who as been in an admin assistant for the last 30 years. What she says goes. She can not be reasoned with, like a deer caught in your headlights can not be reasoned with. She will break the car if it runs into her.

The Mega Million has reached epic porportions i guess. I dont know, I dont really follow the lottery. But she started going around with a list, and asking for 5 dollars saying we were going to win. I didnt understand so i said no, i didnt want to join. Suddenly everyone in the whole office was doing it. Respectable people, the unrespectable. and everyone inbetween.

I held fast. Whats five dollars, i thought. Well i didnt have five dollars so i did join. Today they were still talking about. She passed out copies of the lottery tickets to all 50 people who joined. Apparently Kaiser had done this and won some money. I still dont get it. But my Account Manager and I started to feel bad because we didnt join. He gave me ten dollars. I ran down to the liquor store down the street. It as fun and kinda rainy.

I asked "Do you sell that Mega Million thing here" "Yes" "Can I have 10" (5 for me, 5 for Account Manager). Quickly he printed out a little slip of paper. It was very undramatic. I ran back to the office. Signed the list. (So when we win, no one who didnt join can claim they did). I had to make 52 copies and hand them out. I didnt like handing them out so i ended up just putting them in peoples mail boxes. When Miss P. handed the paper out she was gruff, in control and quick. I was lost, felt like i wasnt doing my work, and quiet. So putting them in the mail boxes was a good idea.

I dont know how to find out what the winning numbers are. But I like to believe because I joined. We have a better chance of winning. If you hear about me on the news, the newest millionare, You will know we won.

Until then. This is alessandra signing out.
