13 Aug 2007 A Contest I Want to Win
 |  Category: Flying

There’s an online charity auction taking place at work and today, only four days before the close of the auction, there is a new item that my boss alerted me to: a ONE-HOUR flight in a Durham police helicopter for two people. They also threw in a Durham Police baseball cap.

How much do I want to win this?!?! Well, I’d tell you but I’m keeping it hush-hush because I WANT TO WIN! I love helicopters! There are only a few bids now, but there will be a flurry of activity on Friday when the auction closes and I’m thinking of asking a few people to bid for me in case other bidders are faster with their mouse than I am. (Heaven forbid if our computers or the network goes down then, too.)

Did I mention I WANT TO WIN? I’m such a nerd in the office — NOBODY else is interested in this except for me. But I don’t mind, fewer people to bid against me! I’m watching that auction like a hawk. Wish me luck!

  1. [...] There was a bidding war, but I had a strategy and it paid off. Watching the auction, it struck me as funny that a person “at large” would voluntarily pay money a ride in a police helicopter… [...]
