A guy I work with (who has not been here very long, perhaps 1 or 2 months), just came into work today and announced that he is quitting his job here to be on a reality TV show called "The Mansion". It it supposed to air on TNT beginning in September or October, and it is about 7 people renovating an old mansion, with someone winning the mansion at the end of the show.

When the announcement was made, we were all tripping out. Our faces must have looked like this:



I've heard of people getting on a reality TV show before, but NEVER anybody that I knew personally. I can't blame him for wanting to do this, since this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance that will probably never happen again. Of course I will be watching the show every week, to see what happens. What would be even freakier would be if my ex-co-worker was the one who wound up winning the mansion!!

Of course, you know that I'm nice to everybody.

Strange that someone you know is also going to be on a reality TV show. I'll have to watch for it. The guy who I used to work with who is going to be on a reality TV show is named Elvis (yes, like the singer). It'll be weird to see him on TV and to think to myself, "I know that guy!"
