The Mother Ship - Nielsen

All my life I have read about the Nielsen Ratings and how this affects our television viewing options. Because of the amount of television I watch I always thought that it would be so cool (sad I know) to be a part of the rating system. Imagine my hope and surprise when I opened my mailbox today and found a card stating that Nielsen was sending a package to my house for a survey. Now I know that this does mean that my opinion would count for anything, and I also know that this card was probably sent to everyone buuuuuut for one brief moment my heart went aflutter and I thought what if? What if I did so well on the survey that Nielsen decided to place a box in my house? What if finally I was able to live the dream of getting paid to watch TV? What if? A girl can dream, right?
