…because I won something yesterday and I won something today. 
It’s Health Week at work this week, and a number of us were getting poked and prodded and measured: heart rate, blood pressure, body-mass index, etc. In the process we filled out little tickets for a raffle. Monday afternoon, Dolores from HR called and said I’d won! I am now the proud owner of a Resistance Band Set #BF3852.
Tuesday, today, my co-worker and I go to a meeting of the local chapter of the Society for Technical Communication. The speaker is giving a presentation on DITA. There are comment sheets to fill in; at the end they drew a name for a copy of the speaker’s book. Midway through the presentation, I’m thinking, “Man, I need to read more about this.” At the end, they draw my name. Copy of the book on its way!
