2 Shoes

A dice dealer generally works an hour on the table then takes a 20 minute break.
Well on my 2nd break I had to use the ladies room, while in there I noticed my shoes...

Just 2 days ago I bought these brand new shoes for work. They have great support but the backs hurt my heels a bit. Today I wore thinner socks hoping it would make the shoes feel looser. My Left shoe felt extremely looser, and we all know to try shoes on with the right foot 'coz lefts are usualy smaller. So I thought the socks were too thin on the left foot but just about right on the right, what a shame.

So back to being in the ladies room... I noticed my shoes... which were NOT mates! YES - you read right, I had put 2 different shoes on this morning. One old one and one new one. The old one on the left... and they don't look too much alike, ones suede and the other is leather.

When I get up in the mornings, It's always between 2:30 and 3am, not light outside at all yet! Our house is old and there are no built in lights in the bedrooms. So I turn on the hall light and bathroom lights to shine into the bedroom. Combine just waking up with no lighting. This is what you get!

So, Back in the break room M1 noticed and made comments and gave me looks like he was going to give me heck when I got back downstairs! I called S and asked him to bring me ONE of the mates of my shoes, he never did bring me a shoe! See his blog for how he seen todays phone call...

Seems as thought he's told at least one of his buddies at the riv too!

I went a few more hours with out it being noticed or at least mentioned of, anyway. I was feeling safe!

Now its about 9:40 or so and the other dice dealers find out while we have a dead game. Then I'm off for another break, When I get back to the game there's many players. B tells M2 who proceeds to call me... "Two Shoes" the rest of the day. So B carries on about it and tells EVERYONE playing craps at the time to "look at J's shoes" which was about 10 people pointing and laughing by then. SO I was embarrassed and began laughing myself silly! Tears rolling all over my face and thats making everyone else laugh even harder.

Then M3 taps me out and I go to base still rolling in my embarrassment, M1 gives me some tissues and we try to carry on with the game. Most of the fun-makers left and one came back to tell me "what happens in vegas stays in vegas." I had the shameful reply of "yea, but I LIVE in vegas!"

The Dayshift managers were coming in and M1 tells one of them- who generally is lightherts and teasing with the everyone, who snickers a bit and walks away. He returns and taps on my arm telling me there is nothing wrong with mismatched feet, pointed at his own, and he had only one show on, trying to make it even more funny.

Moral of the Story- Don't get dressed for work in the dark!
