My First Audition in Many Years

For the past seven years, I've volunteered at Wisconsin Public Television's annual fund-raising auction.  It's basically the highlight of my year.  I've done a variety of jobs, including working on the phone bank and calling winning bidders to tell them the good news.  But every year, I look with admiration and envy upon the auctioneers, who stand in front of the camera and read item descriptions with gusto and zeal. 

This year, I decided to follow my heart and audition to be an auctioneer.  That's right, you have to audition.  Because it's so awesome and everyone wants to do it, obviously.  My (very nervous) audition was a couple of weeks ago, and guess what?!  I made it!  I'm going to be an auctioneer!!!  I cannot wait.  I'll let you know when to tune in to the auction! 

Bid early and often!
