You can hear it in your head "Wapush"
So there is an inside joke at work between a few craps dealers, that I might happen to resemble a dominatrix with that stick swatting around... Then someone called me "Mistress Julie." I said keep it on the Down Low, and say "Miss Julie."
So, I went to HR and ordered a "Miss Julie" Name tag. One person said they should put a picture of a whip instead of a flamingo on it. And he also said every time some one says "can i have a (_insert_bet_request_here_), Miss Julie?" The Crew is gonna respond simultaneously "Wapush!"
We can just picture the situation!
Gimme a week, I'll have stories!

weird week
Most of the days this past week my innuendo counterpart was not there to make craps dirty with me. In my crew a couple days was D, who seemed to be full of dumb riddles, so it wasn't so exciting. He's still green, when we have a game he often cuts out a payout and asks me if its right. I don't get paid enough to be a coach of newbies, such headaches.
Anyway, you call tell the newbies, even on a dead game, when possible players approach.
We're standing a dead game, and these guys come up to my side and pull out some money. D hollers out, come play over here, she doesn't speak English! They go over, and I said in plain English "WHAT THE FUCK??!" OK, So I shouldn't condone the use of that word at work, we tell players not to use it all the damn time. But it just came out! and most of my floor people wouldn't give me a hard time about it anyway. It's ok, he'll learn that I am the tip maker on that table, I am! Players are generally male, and I'm very female, and talk a very dirty game when the riddle isn't making it comedy hour. Someone should tell him he's taking Vinnie Favorito's job! and to shut the F up! that lil 22 year old punk bugs me some days. Well non-the-less I went on my break right then too. But this punk has been pulling my action more often than i like. I need to come up with a re-action plan. I'll get back to you on how this works out!
OH then we had this little 40-something Hindu man come try to play all by himself, at 1st. he was chunking bets (random amounts of chips on various numbers)and was very clueless. He asked me if i was married, and didn't like the answer, but still invited me to "relax on his sofa and drink orange juice" i really didn't know what to say/think. Luckily a small group of young ladies walks by, he starts yelling "hey ladies" and making kissy faces and sounds at them. All I could do was laugh at this point. He was a riot! he would start with the dice next to stick where his bet was an wind up all the way back to the hook and let loose like a softball pitcher. the dice went far off the table many times! he didn't care if he was winning or not, he was having a good time and suddenly, "I have to catch a plane, must go cash out now!"

Better BC
BC: Before Christ...Before Jesus
Did I ever bitch about our old shift manager,Jesus (en español)? He's a real pain in the Arse.
Well over Super Bowl weekend he spent a lot of time back in our faces.
He's such a micro-manager and nit-pick! Things are so much better without him. He chases off customers, and the wrong ones, too!
Well I made a cocky comment when he left the floor Sunday, "Life was so much better BC!" and the dead-game standing dice crew and box-man cracked up a bit. Then I looking toward the direction Jesus went and said "We don't need no stinking religion over here!"
------------
I should have wrote this Sunday, it doesn't sound as funny and details are missing, I'm sure. but thats what happened, so use your imagination...
------------
On a side-note on Super Bowl Sunday... at least for our shift it was ridiculous. slow and lifeless. Was everyone out making last minute bets before the game? O'Shits didn't open the mini Sportsbook this year for the game either! I think we did pretty good for the Friday and Saturday right before the game but i don't think we matched the last 3 years of tokes for Sunday this year. I will let you know Thursday when I go back and check the paperwork.
Otherwise I am almost glad the season is over. But I will miss getting to wear an NFL jersey on Sundays.
Rumor has it we should get new uniforms soon. Can't wait! but will believe it when I see it. The pink chicken got their hideous new uniforms... White shirts with tuxedo pleats,, but they are rayon shirts mind you! Hot pink trim and hot pink embroidered flamingos down the button strip. And if you happen to be female you get DARTS! Even if you don't have the figure for it, which I have seen as not-so-attractive. And because they are white rayon, you can pretty much see thru them; man or woman, we don't want to see that! The men need pasties now!
This shirt is just another reason for me to NOT wanna go there to work, as a dealer!

a day in the life - my life...
Today was slow. It does NOT feel like the start to Super Bowl weekend. I did make myself stay all 8 hours again!
I've got a big fat ugly veterinary bill coming for 2 of my dogs having problems at the same time. So I actually have to work! We wont go into the issues, one is too gross. But they are both in E-Collars, Both are unrelated issues. Just bad timing, well sick dogs are never in good timing, hell, sick people don't get good timing for getting sick, I know, I've been snowballed with illnesses the last few months, as well as having to replace a vehicle.
It was cold as ICE on Dice again today, what a shame. It's hard to make tips from losing gamblers. I think our drew for our shift only barely made a combines 100.00 :( Here's hoping the other tables and shifts make up for us.
I've been trying to drum up some business in my own little webshop too. So if you feel like looking, please do so. If you see something you like, please buy it. If you know someone who would like it please share the link. www.studioJcards.com
