More than I bargained for
Most of the people reading this know of my love of poker and wanting to buy a new poker table to use at my new place in Sherman Oaks. I originally had gotten an offer for a deal on the pictured table at a wholesale price. Unfortunately, we couldn't get enough orders together to make it worth the seller's while and the deal was off. Later that day I went onto eBay and bid on a round 8 person table for about the same amount as I would have paid for the ten seater wholesale.
The table came last Wednesday and I borrowed my (ex) roommate's girlfriend's truck and came over to Santa Monica to get it (I usually have any shipments sent to my day job as it's just easier and there's always someone here to sign for it). And there it sat, in it's white box all week.
For some reason, I got the itch to pull it out of the box and set it up to check it out last night. In opening the box, I noticed something strange...there was a fold. That was notably strange because the round table I ordered was a solid table, only the legs folded. Then I noticed something else....cup holders. I had ordered the 8 person 4' diameter table and instead received the 10 person long folding table! I was thrilled as I got the exact table I initially wanted for the price I wanted to pay for it.
Sometimes the Universe works in weird ways.
I also had an audition for a Chevy commercial this morning. It was a blast but I called in for "Dad". I'm getting called in to play Dads!! Not happy about that. It's totally plausible though, as my Dad was my age now when I was 7 and that was about the age of the little girl in the commercial. But I looked a lot younger than everyone else there.
The audition rocked though. It was all facial expressions and I got some good laughs from the casting director. I was really happy with how it went, now if I don't look too young for it, I think I definitely have a good shot at it. I really worked it and they commented on a few of the little things I did and how much they liked it, so I was bringing something different that they hadn't seen yet.
If I get it, you'll hear it here first.
