The Eleventh Mission - #29: Care

DELAY OF GAME

Before we get into this week's post (or rather what should have been last week's post, but got pushed back because of whatever reason, regardless), we must address this delay of game. Now, in our rules, we did not consider a delay of game penalty, or penalties in general. Whoops!

So I began to think of ways to issue myself some sort of extra challenge that would be commensurate with leaving everyone waiting. The only thing I could think of:

Draw and extra card and have to complete both the primary mission and secondary (penalty) mission.

Thoughts anyone?

Now onto this week's mission:

America Runs on Dunkin'

...and so do I! 

I believe I have mentioned my favorite palace du café, Dunkin' Donuts, and my regular haunt on my way to work. For I guess would be the past year and a half or so, I have been enjoying their On-the-Go ordering through the Dunkin' app.  At first I was reluctant to go down that route as I enjoyed my daily reparté with the staff there.  However, when the school year began and the influx of GMU and NVCC students returned generating longer wait lines, I decided to give it a go. I have not been disappointed. I greatly enjoy walking in getting my coffee and leaving the store while getting looks from everyone in line wondering how I got special treatment (at least that's how I like to envision it).

On this particular day, for this mission, I decided to wait just like everyone else. At first I was a little disappointed that there was no one else in the store. The staff there was a little surprised to see me in line and it took them a moment to remember my order (it also took me a moment, because I usually just tap my favorite on the app and there I go...not very often do I need to vocalize it). During this exchange, and my subsequent fidgeting with my phone for my Dunkin' Moblie app, in walks a gentleman (Ron) with his daughter (Iris) in baby carrier and when I was asked if that would be it, I said 'and whatever this gentleman is having' and subsequently handed him the card.

Now before I finished this post, I stopped back at that shop and there was Ron with Iris again and I asked him who he handed it off to. Apparently that card made it 11 hands that morning according to the store manager.



Unfortunately, none of those hands have logged the card's movement on sneakycards.com, but there is still time. I'm just glad to hear that they are at least moving.

CARD UPDATES

If you remember my coworker Kelly who I mentioned in the Ninth Mission? Well, she finally broke open her deck and began with Mission #4, the largest game of tag!

I'm looking forward to hear how all her sneaky missions go.


Until next time Travelers!

The Ninth Mission - #13: Connect (AND THE FIRST CARD UPDATE!)

Apologies Travelers...it appears this post was never finished and posted as promised. This task was completed early in what turned out to be a very trying week personally and I never seemed to get back to this one until getting ready for this week's post. Nevertheless, here is The Ninth Mission! 

"Don't worry be happy now!"

This Mission was quite easy, well...maybe not easy per-se, but well...yes it was easy. I am normally a happy, smiley person so I had to think about how someone makes me actually smile and not just because they told a good (or very lame) joke. In fact, I used to collect all things smiley. On my first day of shooting on my first student film set, I found a smiley bobble in the dirt and kept it with me throughout the day, the following day I found some cord at home and made myself a necklace out of it and wore it throughout principal photography for the rest of the film and every one while I was at Florida State, for luck. Other Smileys I collected include: Smiley Flag, Smiley Beanie Baby, Smiley Do-rag, Smiley Hackey-Sack. I had a sketch that I would draw every so often...the Smiley Roger!  Arrr matey!

Alas, I rather moved on from collecting all things Smiley. Not entirely sure why I gave up on this line of collectibles, and I believe all these have been stored away or lost in one of my many moves.

Back to the present. I have been meaning to give one of these cards to a coworker of mine who is likewise a very happy, outgoing person, Kelly! So I selected her for this one in particular because of her perpetual sunny disposition and how when we interact at work and City related events, she always makes me smile. That and her adorable son, he is just as much the life of a party as she.

As we were talking while getting ready for a meeting, I gave the unsuspecting target card #13, just to find out that she has also received a deck of Sneaky Cards from yet another coworker of ours (that coworker has been put on notice that she will be the target for an upcoming and as yet to be determined card  **muah-ha-ha-ha** maniacal laughter).

Likewise, I believe I will be the target for one of Kelly's cards!

Card Updates:

THE FIRST CARD HAS BEEN TRACKED!

WOOT!  We have card movement!  Well...turns out it was this week's mission.  Thank you Kelly for updating the tracker on Card #13:

Looking forward to see where this one goes next!
