Survivor

My co-worker, S., is trying out for Survivor.  Today we taped a "sample conversation" for her application video.  Okay, I'm her manager, which makes both the application video and the sample conversation even funnier, in my opinion.

Of course, S's application was all a pretty funny joke until yesterday when I was at the gym and started to realize that she might actually make it on the show.  Heck, I would want her along on a desert island.  I wouldn't even have grades for the class I taught if she hadn't showed me how to use Excel properly. She's the most on-task 24-year-old I've ever seen in my life.  I'm pretty sure she'll by my boss by the time she's 30. I'll probably still be here, sitting in a corner rocking in the fetal position and saying how I hate taxes.

Anyway, I'm off-track again, which would drive S. crazy.  Which is why she'll probably get on Survivor. We'll have to live without her for six weeks or whatever, and she'll come back all hard-body and difficult to work with because she'll be used to eating bugs and strong-arming flight attendants from New Mexico into doing whatever she wants.  Then we'll have to wait six months to watch her on television.  And she'll probably be promoting granola or something on the side.  And driving a Lexus. 

I know one other person who was once on Jeopardy.  He's pretty smart, too.  I can't think of any game shoes on which I could excel. There is no game show for "tell long, obnoxious, difficult-to-follow stories and WIN."   Hmm.  I could see me doing fairly well with something like Wifeswap.  Maybe I'll look into that.
