1. High five!

    The age of the “Free pizza!!” bribe to lure you to the join the upcoming Diversity Development round table discussion (nobody likes round table discussions!) is over. But stop getting all nostalgic and disenchanted with the Diversity Development team — haven’t you noticed that your chances to WIN A FREE IPOD!!!! now surpass your opportunities to eat free pizza? The eligibility requirements are increasingly relaxed, too: a few weeks ago Lindsay sent me a brochure requiring I design a poster for an iPod prize, and this week a flyer at work advertises that all I have to do is show up at a product fair at a specified time in a specified room, and I’ll have a chance to win!

    But there’s no reason to waste your time being creative or subjecting yourself to perky product fair salespeople. If the number of opportunities to win an iPod continues to increase at a rate inversely proportional to the difficulty of the task required, then I am confident that soon I will be rewarded with my shiny little 80-gig rectangle any day now, just for being me. The flyer will read “Brown hair? Argyle socks? Walking North? FREE IPOD!!” and someone will pop out of a bush and hand it to me.

    So in the meantime, when I see a motivation-requiring iPod flyer, I just give it a little high five and a knowing smile and continue on my way.
