I had mentioned that since I have two teenaged daughters, and college is coming up fast for them, anything left over after the convertible and the new boat is going right in to their tuitions…
I’m trying out in Chicago in two weeks.
The five interesting things are giving me some trouble. I know what I’ll say I’d spend the money on (entering a major poker tournament), but can that be one of the five things or should it be separate?
I’d make it separate. They’ll definitely ask about what you would do with the money, so you might as well come up with a fifth thing.
My audition is due to take place in San Francisco six hours from now. The online test seems so long ago.
I was awakened 40 minutes ago by an earthquake (apparently a 4.7); hope that’s not a bad omen.
Thanks to the advice of Dopers upthread, I’ve got my “Contestant Information Sheet” ready, complete with:
[ul]
[li]Five Fascinating Facts about me. In the end, it seems like “B-list” material – the real high and low points of my life thus far aren’t family-friendly enough to fit the Jeopardy! template.[/li][li]Unique variation on the “spend the winnings on travel” theme.[/li][li]Gratuitous SDMB shout-out.[/li][/ul]Any other Dopers going to the Palace Hotel in SF today?
[Unfortunately, I’m virtually immobile from sciatic pain – I can’t currently feel my feet, or visualize even leaving the house this morning, let alone taking the train to SF and hobbling around using a cane, which will be necessary. At exactly the time that I should be charming them with my rapier wit and debonair demeanor, I’ll be in a Vicodin haze – but wishing it were morphine. Oy. Apologies for the MPSIMS-style addition to this CS thread.]
Good luck, Antonious. I hope the pain lessens as you get up and move around.
I didn’t know they were still doing the auditions from the online testers! They must be nearing the end. Best of luck, and definitely let us know how it goes for you.
Yeah good luck! I would have been there…but the week after the qualification test I got to face the happy choice of accepting a transfer halfway across the country or finding a new job. My situation was so in flux that I didn’t feel able to RSVP them when they sent out the invites to the SF auditions. <grumbles>
