Oh hell yeah, we're on the home stretch until my vacation starts! I cannot wait--not only for March Madness, but just the fact that I will get to spend NINE entire days away from work for the first time in three years fills me with unbounded joy.
Seriously, if the buffoons weren't coming to town next week, I'd happily take a hundred bucks out of the bank, buy a couple of sailing magazines and a book or two, use the rest on Pacifico, limes, rum, and Coke, and spend the entire week out on a chaise lounge at the pool. And I'd be a happy man.
But the buffoons are coming to town, so I guess I'll just have to drink complimentary booze all week while stuck indoors playing poker. Bummer, man.
Anyhow, Day 1 of the Final Countdown wasn't too bad at all--my workday just flew by last night. Yes, I was busy, as was the entire casino, and I had a lot of fun players too. No jerkoffs to deal with at all. I even got a visit from lurker/commenter 'Jazzguy' who showed up at my Pai Gow table right after I opened it, so it was a nice way to kick off the evening. He also played a little $5 blackjack with me later on in the evening before heading back to the airport. It sounded like he had a pretty good trip, too.
As the night wore on, I got bounced all over the pit from table to table--I was assigned to deal Pai Gow, Blackjack, and 3-Card Poker, but I ended up dealing dice for awhile also, along with Deuces wild to finish of the night. And since the last player left at around 2:10 in the morning, once I closed the table and dropped my tokes, I was outta there--I finally got that elusive half-hour Early Out that everyone covets so much.
After stopping for a Thirstbuster on the way home to wash down my amoxicillin horse pill, I spent an hour or so websurfing before going to bed. And I got a good six hours of sleep before the garbage truck woke me up. Yep, our apartment is the closest one to the dumpster hut, so when I sleep with the windows open (which is 90% of the time), I wake up every morning to the sound of the trash being emptied or a couple of leaf-blower jockeys making sure there is nothing on the grass outside my bedroom window. Oh well, it's not like I can't take a nap later...
But today is Saturday, and the landscaping guys have the day off. And there is nothing on my agenda today but basketball and housework, but before I attempt any of that housework stuff, there is a pot of coffee calling me from the kitchen.
