Here it is almost six o'clock, and I just got a call from the poker room. Yep, they need me again. I was thinking that I wouldn't be working tonight, because yesterday they called at 4:00 pm, which is when the swing shift manager comes in, and the swing shift dealers start at 5:00.
So around 4:15 or so, I hadn't heard anything, and I decided to be proactive and check in with them. It was a different manager in today, and he thanked me for calling but said to call back around 6:30 to find out if they'd need me or not. That was kind of a bummer, and so I thought I'd have the night off.
But just a few minutes ago, he called me back, asking if I could come in at 7:00. Hell yeah I can! So I'm off to the casino again, for the seventh night in a row. Not that I'm complaining, but as soon as a night comes where they don't need me, I'd love to stay away from the casino completely. But as of right now, I'm scheduled all the way through Memorial Day.
That can't last. Casinos are notoriously cheap when it comes to paying overtime, and as soon as somebody in payroll alerts the Casino Director that I'm flirtin' with earning a whopping fourteen bucks an hour from the house, they will boot my ass out of there so fast it'll make my head spin and tell me not to come back until sometime the following week.
So that's the news. I'm back in the cardroom again tonight.
I'll post more in the morning.
