Greetings all,
I have decided a few weeks ago that I will become one of those people that plays the lottery. I am used to being poor as I only work part time (won't be for too long since my contract is ending) and am a student. I was never into playing the lottery simply because the odds are not in your favour to win. My mother always plays the lottery but has never won much.
I am using my brain power to win the lottery because I learned last month that at one of my old companies, someone won Lotto Max and won about 1 million dollars. He is keeping his job. I figure if this dumb ass can win, maybe I have a shot. I could sure use some cash to buy a condo and pay for my education.
For the first few weeks, I haven't won much but this week I won $5 from Lottario and a Free Play with Lotto Max. My numbers are not winning but these lotteries give out computer generated ones and those were the numbers that won me a prize.
I feel that things can only get better and I should be winning a bigger prize soon. I know as a statistician that since it is random, that does not mean that I will improve in a linear fashion. But still I think it's a good sign.

Hi did you just left the introvert meetup? Few people were looking for you and hoping you might come back
Yes I did leave. You should talk to the other organizers about it. I may come back but I think some 'minor' changes need to be made.
It's not as active per say and too many people flake out( too many no show) I'm not a regular there in introvert so it's hard for me to built a rapport there.
What kind of minor changes would you like to see?
I like variety like your comedy show, the occasional pubs
and I really like the annual picnic we had the cente island
I was upset over some titles some people got in the group because they were business titles and I thought they were too inappropriate. It was some inside joke but I didn't get it. I think new people wouldn't get it and may take it seriously.
The minor change being that they get rid of those titles.
Anyways, why do you find it hard to build rapport? It takes time to open up and get comfortable with people. I've been in meetup since 2008 and have been active in that group since 2009 so it does take patience
Oh yeah... I was wondering about those titles... It look too cheesy and stupid though I've seen a few meetup group use those titles if you were marked as no show.
Anyways I'll try to email those organizers about it but I'm pretty sure they'll tell me to mind my own business.
Happy birthday though (don't know exactly when..) you had meetup last year at Pickel barrel I didn't go I wasnt here in Canada.
Thanks for helping out my friend Michelle (she's been added as an assistant organizer to the introvert group) she's a shy person like me I give you two guts for doing this. I have a bit of social anxiety I've been working on.
Take care Rusty
Thank you Rusty. My birthday will be this Sunday. I've had anxiety when I was younger but I found having a yoga practice and meditating was helpful. Good luck with your social anxiety. Don't give up!
Hi Paula, its Rusty. I did bring up the issue to bishop about the custom title @ the introvert social message board: http://www.introvertsocial.com/messages/boards/thread/30092052
all i said it was the custom titles look too unprofessional, he didnt understand what i meant but anyways, i doubt they (bishop and Amie will listen) i tried. Anyways, have a great weekend to your great birthday on Sunday. Im sure going to miss your comedy shows at the meetup.
Thanks for letting me know about that thread. I hope you make it out to a meetup. I get the feeling they think you are not legit and that maybe they think I've rejoined under a pseudo name.
BTW my problem was with the titles being too professional sounding, namely Chairman of the Board and Vice President. I think it sends the wrong message to new people and people might think it means something. Nobody is the star in the group and I think giving those titles to organizers, especially inexperienced ones is not only disrespectful to experienced organizers like myself but also to the regular members. I want everyone to feel welcome. Not make people feel some people are better then others. That is not cool in my book.
FWIW, those 2 organizers were joking about the titles and I guess Aimee thought it was funny as well. I don't get the joke and think it's really only the kind of joke they get. Again, that is being cliquey, which is something I do not agree with.
hi Paula
It's Michelle from the introvert meetup
Rusty told me about this blog (was the only way I could get in touch with you) again thank you for telling Amie to add me as an event organizer. Sorry to hear you had to leave the group but I'm hoping you may rejoin again in the future.
I did get an email from Bishop if I knew Rusty (I told him he's my friend) I mentioned to him to drop those cheesy titles but he didn't say anything so I doubt he will do anything about it. anyways take care btw happy birthday
