There was a contest at work to name our company's new technology platform. The winner would receive an iPhone and one free year of service.

I submitted an idea secretly (I outright lied when my friends asked if I'd entered!) because I thought my idea was so stupid.

They announced the winner today. The winning entry was exactly the same as my entry, with the addition of two little letters, a Latin declensional ending. (Basically, the same name, but the winner made it sound a little more "Latin"-y.)

No iPhone for me. I was a runner-up, so I got $40 worth of movie tickets, which ain't too damn shabby.

But... but... an iPhone. Sigh.
