MONDAY:I don't know how else to say this but refer you to this link
If you came here from S's Blog then that's all it is.
Other than than not much is new.
I'm waiting on Lexi's vet to call back to set her appointment.
TUESDAY: I had the Focus Class at work today... I anticipated boring, and it started out that way. Our table got warmed up to each other, only one other dealer was there with me. Then we were all goofy and overly interactive with the class. Our table got more raffle tickets than any other in the room 5 tables of average 6 people each. I was the shotski queen as well walking away with a water bottle bag, sports bottle, insulated cup, and a bottle opener key ring! Anyone want a souvenirs for stocking stuffers!
Now tomorrow is my only day off and I need to get to bed to make the most of tomorrow!

He thought I was single...
A Local, A regular at that, came in again today. He started with the flirts and flattering remarks and playing his way on the dice table (a dark sider). His way seems to run non-dark-siders off, so he was playing alone for a while. And when his come out roll was a 4 and he was actually playing the Pass Line, I told him he could always play the DC (aka Don't Come) and he said to me "I can't do that, I like to come" and I laughed! And there was some other smirk comment on players who "Don't Come" so I had to reply, saying "well those who don't come, haven't played with me." That one really got him! Then he said something like "maybe I should have said I don't know how to come" And we were both laughing because we- esp me, can get away with talking like this at the dice table because, we ARE talking about the game!
Later I moved to my base, across from him and as I was pulling up my sleeves the light must have hit my wedding ring just right because he seemed to out of the blue, ask "is that a wedding ring?" And I replied honestly, seeing his disappointment. He kind of mellowed out of the conversation and flirts, so I gave him a hard time "So what?!?! You don't want to talk to me anymore? That's not nice" He said "Nah, we're cool"
And we had a few more conversations the rest of his time there... And in the midst of one I got tapped out for my break, but I Decided to be friendly and keep the conversation going and spent my break next to the dealer and boxman talking.
It's nice to be flattered by someone whose not so drunk they'd attempt flattering a frog.

Random Thought :)
Albert Idiot-stein...
that's my new replacement for "Dumb-Ass"
(picked it up from a silly cartoon, yes I watch cartoons- got a problem with that?)
Focus Class aka customer service training
I'm scheduled to do this next week at work...ON MY DAY OFF :(
So I only get 1 day off next week.
Dr. Pepper has multiple personality disorder
I asked the Pepsi vending machine man at work if he'd start stocking Dr. Pepper. He said no, because Coke has bottling rights in this region, whilst Pepsi ownes the syrup recipe, but in some places isn't Dr. P bottled by 7-up too? I also asked about Mr. Pibb (or Pibb Xtra as it's known to the current generation) and he didn't have a clue, thought it was root beer and said I could have a Mug Root Beer LOL.
Here are some doggie kisses for you :)

Breaking Even
Stayed up 3 hours late last night so I'd sleep in with S this morning before our weekly poker outting.
Had breakfast at 'the cafe' in 'the hotel' at Mandalay Bay, we both had excellent chorizo burritos. It came with Guacamole, which S insists he doesn't like, but eats it up every time its served to him. He Calls it GREEN STUFF.
Wandered around Mandalay bay, Excalibur, and the Luxor for a few hours before having to meet everyone at Luxor's Poker Room.
We got our 2/4 game started with a few strangers to boot. 10th seat was some old english turd, who seemd to be raping my bank. I was down to like $25 when S felt bad and gave me $20 to buy in more. Then I started playing even tighter, and finally the turd left and went to the tourney. So I made it all back plus enough to tip the cashier. Too bad S busted out... again.
I had a good time as usual!

Boyfriends and Bowling... as if!
Well I made some friends today!
Started the day off on a cold table, meaning everyone throwing 7-out as soon as they make points. On my side of the table was a very nice middle-aged man, he kept telling me how nice and pretty I was, but the cold table drove him off...temporarily. He returned less than 5 minutes later and said I was his reason. Even tho his girlfrind was in the casino playing at a blackjack table just only so far away he still continued to flatter me at every opportunity.
When I went on my break he left.
Then later there was a group of 20-something guys, and one they called "Fister" who was way drunk and way too flirtatious. He kept running up to me when I was on the table working and hugging me, staring at me, and talking crazy stuff... But his F-bombs were way too frequent and loose, so I made my deal... you know the deal, F-bomb dollars... so everytime he said it I got a dollar from him, and when he left he musta left me 18-20 more dollars. It was funny, His friends had a hard time getting him to leave. He needed to sober up and get some sleep... But he did his best to charm me. What a crazy guy.
Off topic-
After work this afternoon I was on my way to Sam's Club to get a case of monster and some of my co-workers called me from the Bowling Alley at Gold Coast and asked if i wanted to play. I stopped by for fun and bought in on a game LOL... Note to World: I suck at bowling! But I had a good time looking like an idiot!
After 1 game I left so I could make it to Sam's still. But those guys are crazy, and that's what makes them fun!! But I don't go out with them everytime they go out now, it is way too often. and I'm just not young and single and crazy anymore.

Back to Swing. Maybe?
Today I was sure it was Saturday All day! Finally realized it was really Friday!
The day started out kind of scarey... On Dice, 3rd base for my 1st 20 minutes. A middle-eastern man of mid 40's came to the table and placed 170 inside. When the next number rolled I cut out and payed the payout and he kept saying something I didn't realize/understand. So he got upset and took down all fo his bets, but stuck around. Then the young white male next to him heard him say some bad/mean things and asked him to be nice in so many words. Then it looked like they were about to brawl, I kept trying to tell the box person to call security, well this box person was a security guard before his dealing days and a Marine before that, He finally heard me and so he decided to get up and break it up himself. He did it very diplomatically and I Commend him on this and told his supervisors. Not all box persons have balls, and don't always bother to 'take care of their dealers' so this was a welcomed display.
Also today the dice crew included one of which who rarely gets to deal dice, he's not too good because he doesn't get to deal it too much, and so it was a head ache for the rest of the crew and box persons.
This dealer getting on the table this weekend is also showing me that I'm probably NOT going to get my 3 days on dice, per week!
I'm probably going to apply to transfer back to swing shift.
The 2nd dice table came in and is ready for use and so after a few employees moving next door next month, I will get back to swing with some seniority. and more time on dice. I'm hoping 6 more months or so and I can transfer, but I refuse to transfer as a black jack dealer.

Full Time Kicking-In and more
Finally got my paperwork this week to enroll in benefits. As soon as I get the HMO cards, I can finally go to see Doctors and Dentists and what ever else! Oh and I can start building up a 401K. You know I am 31 and don't think I have ever had a 401K. Sad, I know. I got coverage for both of us since S is still extra-board / part-time.
On a poker note, played monday at the Hilton and only won 3 small pots. Lost in the end. I guess next Monday we are playing at Luxor. I hope I still get Mon/Tuesdays off. And I hope i catch more cards that the flop hits!
On a health note, got fresh Winchells Doughnuts for brekfast yesterday- turned out some of them were too fresh and still doughey inside and it made us sick to our stomachs, ah well. So I was sick in hte middle of the night last night and called in sick for today. I've had a head ache all day today too, but doubt it is related to the doughnuts.
When I get back to work, I wont be working with a certain dice dealer anymore who got his transfer to the Flamingo. I think this put me back on a for sure 3 days of Dice. As long as no one else thinks they want to learn on my time. Selfish I may sound, Selfish I may be, but that is how it is for me.
