I still haven't received my t-shirt from Headline News. I wrote an e-mail to the person who sent me the "winner" notification and got a very nice email in return saying that they had had a very hectic schedule and were behind at the moment. Still, I go to my mailbox every day and look for it. I have played the game two more times, only placing in the top ten once. I did find out the way to win the trip to Atlanta, it seems, is to be a winner of a t-shirt. They will be in a drawing for the trip. Well, I actually feel better about that at least I'm in the running.
Interestingly, in the days following that, I found I was kind of repelled by the news. I'm not sure why, but I think it might have something to do with the news groupies in the chat rooms associated with the game. It's not that they weren't nice people. For the most part they were. The first day the group, as I left, were very supportive and congratulated me as I left, and as I signed on the next day congratulated me again. However, there was one guy the second day that acted like a teenager who needed to be slapped down, who was looking for a fight, posturing and primping like the jerk you just want to avoid. The worst of all chat rooms.
Headline News, in the morning, is very loose and chatty. The online chemistry is friendly and cheerful - that's very much the charm. They have, I think, eight different chat rooms going on as the news goes on during the morning. They encourage bantering and the on-air personalities jump into the chat rooms during the breaks. Even Robin Meade's mother popped in the other day.
***Yaaayyyy - Janet Napolitan is coming into Congress right now, having just being introduced as a member of the President's Cabinet. Way to go, Janet!!!!
***I wonder if the President's hand ever hurts the morning after, after shaking so many hands the night before?
More later
