I did one of these on a website a long time ago, and it was pretty fun. So, I figured I would give it a try here. Here's how it works. I write an entry at which point you, as the readers, will be presented with a choice. Everyone then replies with their vote, and when I next check the thread I tally the votes and write the section for the next entry. We continue until the game ends. As this is a reality-based one, don't be surprised if from time to time the choices aren't to astounding, nor the happenings always so fast-paced. After all, it's based on reality. How many of us really lead more interesting lives than this? Well, on with the game.
1. The alarm goes off. It is 7 am. You have to be to work by 8:30. You have a raging hangover from the night before, and you didn't get to sleep till 4 am last night. This is going to be a rough day. Mr. Watson, the department head, really wants those QRS reports done, and it will be a long day of crunching numbers.
If you want to hit the snooze button, vote 2.
If you want to get out of bed and off to the shower, vote 3.

The vote is 3 to 3, I therefore get to break the tie. And the winner is. . .
3. Realizing that you have rent, car payments, and $50,000 in student loan debts, you decide it would be best not to temp fate. You hop into the shower, scrub away, and the stinging sensation of soap in your eyes actually serves to wake you up a bit. You towel off, brush your teeth, straighten out your hair, drizzle several dozen drops of Visine into your eyes, and head out the door, chugging a Red Bull along the way.
Traffic is unusually heavy on the freeway today. You slowly crawl past the sign which reads "Project Funded By The American Recovery And Reinvestment Act," and realize this will be a long one. Suddenly, you check your side-view mirror and see a vehicle driving up along the shoulder trying to get past all the traffic. Something in you is on the verge of snapping.
If you want to pull out onto the shoulder and block him from getting around you, vote 4.
If you want to just sit and let him drive past, vote 5.

The vote is 1-0.
4. You pull off to the shoulder to block this car from jumping ahead. Moments later the lights atop his car begin flashing, and you are pulled over. You now have a ticket for obstructing an emergency vehicle. That should be pricey. You are also now 15 minutes late for work.
Upon arriving at work your boss is furious. "This is the 3rd time this week you've been late. And you'd better have those QRS reports for me!" You had been planning to get the QRS reports done in the first 15 minutes of work, but being that you are late, they are not finished.
If you wish to fall to your knees, cry, beg for your job, and act generally contrite, vote 6.
If you want to tell that fat sack of crap where he can stick his QRS reports, vote 7.

The vote is 1-0 for 6. Here we go:
6. Mr Watson is impressed with your begging. He admits "I've never quite heard a grown, self-respecting individual blubber like this. I'll tell you what, get me those QRS reports by noon." Mr. Watson heads off to his office. You grab a Red Bull and a doughnut and head off to your cubicle. You boot up the machine and get ready to get to work.
If you want to do those QRS reports, vote 8.
If you want to spend a few minutes on Facebook, vote 9.
