Yes, I am a complete idiot. Monday night is usually my 'Friday' night--the end of my workweek, and a night so slow in the casino that it just drags on and on. I hate being there.
So, at 5:45 pm, my alarm went off, I got up from my nap, took a shower, got dressed, and drove on down to the casino. Instead of checking the toke book, road map, and sign-in sheets, I just went back to my locker got dressed, and stopped in the employee dining room for a bowl of rice and some diet Pepsi.
When it was time to start my shift, I followed the rest of the herd out to pit to sign in and find out what tables I'd be stuck on for the night. Unfortunately, I didn't see my name on the road map. Maybe I was going to dice? So I went to that pit, checked the podium there, and didn't see my name on any of the games.
After drawing a blank there, I went to the main pit to talk to the shift bosses, telling them I didn't have a table. Then I learned that I wasn't supposed to be at work on Monday night. Yep, it's a holiday week, and I'm working Wednesday night instead (it should be crazy-busy that night). And I just completely spaced it. Yeah, the schedule book was even showing me having Monday and Tuesday off, and it was also highlighted in bright florescent yellow highlighter so I couldn't miss it.
Doh!
So, I went back to my locker, changed back into my street clothes, and hit the door. Of course I was pissed that I went in to work without knowing it, because now my weekend is halfway over and I feel like I missed a day of it. But I'll make more money on Wednesday, and it'll be much busier.
But that still doesn't change the fact that I'm a dumbass.
