Seven of Eight

Thats my new nick name at work today.

I think some of you will sence a TNG relation, but the name is as far as that goes. NO assimilations :)

I was on stick, the lights were not right, and the shadows were being cast heavily on the table.
Shooter rolls and I see a 5 then the other dice lands and I am sure I see a Duce! So I call 7-out etc etc etc. The dealer on the end where the dice landed corrected me that is was an EIGHT. The other side of the table was swiped clean and the players walked off before the correction was made, Shooter included! So we put his chips in a stack at the box, and watch for him for a while, until we see him to return his money. Meanwhile, we have to call "new shooter same point" and new shooter shoots and hits the point- immediately!

It didn't help that the box man was is one of the worst people I ever dealt with. I seriously think Sadam woulda been more pleasant! I am sick of this person.

So the story goes around the pit to all the supervisors/floorman etc, and the shift boss comes up and says "so you called the 7 on an 8? Do you know what 'Seven of Nine' is? Well I'm gonna call you Seven of Eight, Now!"Laugh Laugh Laugh... what ever. Life goes on. It wasn't the 1st time this has ever happened nor will it be the last- just hopefully my own last! But my Boxman still angers me. Shift boss says I should have fun with the situation, but I am just afraid it will egg him on. Personally I just want to punch him in his coratid artery. Well I wont go on and on about my hatred for this guy. A co-worker says if I let him get to me - he has won. I will stand tall and ignore his slimey arse!

As a TNG fan, that was funny. I guess you'll just have to "assimilate" that Box man. What an idiot and all those people that lost money, aarrgghhh.

A friend of mine just forwarded me your site and I never knew there was a blog for craps. Well, craps is my FAVORITE game! I'll have to get caught on some of your older posts. I like the idea of a you writing a blog from your perspective.

Good luck in dealing with this person. I do have to say, don't let him get to you, I know its tough, but it'll only bring you down. And remember, this is ALWAYS true "You can't beat stupid."

p.s. I am sure you know what the 44 is for in my nickname. The Fluffer part, that's a whole other story.
