National Finals Rodeo

Well, I found people worse than golfers when it comes to tips. The "cowboys" that are here for the National Finals Rodeo are the worst tippers I have ever seen. They don't tip the dealers, but they do tip the cocktail waitress fifty cents, not even a dollar. That's pretty cheap when you are playing $100 a hand

In contrast to golfers the "cowboys" have all been nice people other than their lack of tipping. They are friendly and don't treat me like a "piece of shit" proletariat that needs to be put in his place.

In other news at work, they are making us sign a piece of paper. This paper says that we will be written up to different degrees for making mistakes depending on the amount of money involved. So, if you make a mistake under $100 than you get a point, if you make a mistake over $1,000 than you get more points or or get fired or whatever. I haven't seen the form yet. Anyway, that means that when they put me in the high limit room, I'm exposed to more risk for the same amount of pay. When someone said that it was "unfair" to the Casino Manager, he said that all of the big casinos are doing it. A Co-worker of mine checked with her daughter that works at the Bellagio and she has never heard of such a form. Bellagio is part of MGM/Mirage corp. making it part of the company that owns the majority of the big casinos. I have a good feeling that our Casino Manager is just a liar. Everyone at work is talking union. It won't happen, but it should, just because we deserve sick days if nothing else.

But I don't like pickles

You are a pickle with toothpics in it. But you
knew that already. Are you sour inside? Has
someone done something to you? Maybe to move
on, you need to take those toothpics out
yourself. Or maybe, they're protecting you
from getting hurt again. Or both. Choose
wisely. Think twice the next time you eat a
pickle.

Problem solved

I went though and published the pictures on my free Cox website, but I hate doing that. If anyone knows a free picture sharing service that allows links on external sites, please let me know.

Why I hate www.shutterfly.com

They are too seemless. I can see pictures on livejournal that you can not, because they are so seemless. Damn them.

What does your religion smell like?

My mother gave this to me over Thanksgiving. Of course, she knew that I would love it. How appropriate that Jesus is vanilla. Why does he get the silver background, I wonder? Also, Jesus is only in English. The cross is good enough for international sale, but Jesus is exclusively USA...hmmm.

PS. I obviously found a site to store and display pictures. www.shutterfly.com Such a nice service.

What I got for Xmas from my parents

My parents were here over the Thanksgiving weekend. Because the gift was so large, they bought it and gave it to me here. It was a bagless vacuum and I dont' know how I lived without it. Our vacuum was on the way out. This new vacuum works like a dream. We filled it up with only a part of the living room (pet hair) even though we've vacuumed recently.

I also got my father's old digital camera. So, you will see more pictures here. I need to find a place online where I can display them so I can upload them on livejournal rather than using a personal webspace. Any suggestions?
