A month ago, my work started a contest between servers for who could sell the most Widmer Hefeweisen (it's a beer). The prize - a Widmer snowboard. Usually when my work has had competitions I really haven't cared, mostly because there's always someone more gungho (is that how you spell it?) than I am and I usually end up doing all the work for nothing. This time, I decided that I really wanted the snowboard though. Maybe the prize was just good enough this time to entice me. The contest was about a month long and last weekend I asked my manager who was in the lead of the contest. Now I only work 2 nights per week, so I didn't really expect to win this contest, but to my surprise, I was the leader. Then this weekend it was confirmed, I won! So I got the snowboard. It's a really good-looking snowboard as you can see, but we figured it was just kind of a cheap one. That's why they're giving it away, right? Well today I decided to try to find it online and see what it really goes for. I was very surprised at what I found. It sells for $275 because it's a custom snowboard from a company called Revolution Snowboards in Utah. They're a big company in the snowboard industry and they have one of the largest and most high-tech factories in the US for snowboards. So that made it even more special for me. So that's my excitement this weekend that I wish to share with everyone.
