Alive & Well

Hey gang. I survived the weekend, and had a pretty good time, as you can imagine. However, I'm not as young as I used to be and it'll take a couple days to recover. I don't think I'll write up a trip-report style of post, however. Maybe over at T2V, maybe not. Right now, I just don't feel like writing much at all--I'm tired, my back hurts, and work is looming on the horizon just a couple hours away. I'll probably just post a few pics over here with a few catchy captions--but it'll be a couple of days.

It's my Friday night, and as such, it usually means that I'd get out early. But I was running the numbers earlier today, and our tokes have been so bad for the past three or four months that I've figured out that I've basically taken a 20% pay cut since June. So as bad as I want to scoot out early at the end of my workweek, I just can't do it. Or as one of my co-workers said last night, I can't afford to take off early, and the money's so bad that it's not worth staying for, either...

It may be time to move on. I was hoping to stay there until next May, but we'll see if I last that long. Tomorrow is a full day of poker school, and tomorrow night I'm going to spend the evening doing applications and searching for new job opportunities. I can't afford to live on what I'm making nowadays. Our casino seems to be circling the bowl.

Mikey out.

PS. If you have any spare change, please hit the tip jar. Thanks.
