On Not Being Asked to the Prom...

Long-time readers of this blog may remember my progress through the various levels of Jeopardy! auditions last spring. After the 2nd level (the Philadelphia audition), we hopefuls were told that either we would be called sometime in the next 12 months (to be asked out to LA for an actual show) or we would not receive a call, in which case we should "try again in the next audition cycle."
Well, it's been just over a year, and guess what? No call. I didn't make it.
It was always a long shot, but it's disappointing nonetheless. I hope that they didn't pick the defense attorney who auditioned with me; he said that if he won money he'd spend it on "booze and hookers." As long as it wasn't that guy, I won't be too down.
So it's back to the day jobs for me! I'll be paying off my college debt the slow way, after all.
