So, I'm standing on a dead game. It happens a lot in the high limit pit. The games there do not have to be busy to make crazy money, so they stay open and dead sometimes. An hour can feel like a day when you are just standing there looking at a flower arrangement and hoping that the next person sitting down isn't an asshole. I feel that I should fill those times with something constructive, but I can't really do anything besides think. Tonight, I added in my head to pass the time. I did the basic 2 2=4, 4 4=8, 8 8=16. When I get to right above 10,000, I forget the number and decide that it is stupid and pointless anyway. I went to a "boredom" game website and it suggested trying not to think about polar bears. It said the entertainment factor was about 2-3 minutes. Unfortunately, the entertainment lasted about 30 seconds after I completely forgotten that I was playing a game.
I noticed that the floor supervisor was wearing a ring with a big ruby in it. I like rubies a lot, but I think they look stupid on men. Is it just me or is it the way I was raised. I think jewelry on men looks horrible and tacky. Some of the male dealers at work have huge gold bracelets and gaudy gold pinky rings. Oh my god, make me vomit. Also, what are they telling the people that tip them? "I have so much money that I waste it on frivolous man jewelry. Give me more, so I can waste it." What jerks!
Now don't get me wrong, I like simple gold or silver bands and watches. I don't like watches covered with diamonds (I see a ton of them in the high limit room. Again, what jerks!) I think all stones are bad except tiger's eye. Why Tiger's eye? Well, I can think of two reasons. One, my father has a nice tiger's eye ring. It is a nice earthy tone and is understated rather than flashy. The other reason is interesting if true. Pagans associate tiger's eye with masculinity. Could it be that tiger's eye is masculine for a reason? That is looks appropriate on men for a reason? or is it that I was exposed to it as a child and therefore find it appropriate? Thinking about this killed about 5 minutes on a dead game.
In other news, someone won $150,000 off of me a couple of days ago, betting $5,000 a hand. They lost it to another dealer. I was told by the player that if they won $500,000, they would buy me a car. Of course, the casino doesn't allow that though. It was one of my least favorite players in the world though (an owner of another casino). I did get a $1,000 tip which is very rare from him. Interestingly enough, he has a diamond encrusted watch.
Jesus, what a life. Boredom interspersed with insanity. I think you could kill a lot of dead time just trying to puzzle out the karmic circumstances which allow somebody to have the dough to gamble $5,000 per hand when there are millions of poor schmoos out there who have to work at 7-11 for a living. And I'm not even talking about pondering it in any kind of angry, communist way ... personally, I am just puzzled by it. How the hell does fate dole these things out? Is it truly random, or is there some logic to it? Is having money a punishment, or a lesson, or what?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that's what I'd think about. But then I'm obsessed with money. It's probably best that I don't work in Vegas.
I think any jewel can look good on a man if it's not faceted. A cabochon ruby ring, no matter how large, would look elegant, I think. Onyx is good too, of course. It's the sparkliness which must be avoided.
Of course, onyx. I didn't even think of that. Maybe Hematite? Anyway, I've already thought of the karmic lessons of money and it seems random. Some people can handle it, some can't. The person that won $150,000 is a classic story. Their family owns a casino and the mother has it in the will that if any of them marry (they are all men) they will be cut out of a large portion. They always bring bimbo whores with them and refuse to play with a female blackjack dealer. I find that "escorts" and whores act really dumb. Do men find this atractive? I knew it was a stereotype, but some of the "escorts" that come up to my table are just out-there impossibly dumb and the men just drool whenever they say something terribly idiotic. Then the men go to the bathroom and the "escorts" are then intelligent and nice. They are also good tippers.
ReplyDeleteBloodstone is nice too. Dark green with red veining.
ReplyDeleteMany men do seem to find idiocy attractive. But idiocy tempered with a keen appreciation of the male psyche. I mean, no matter how stupid these gals are, I doubt you'd ever hear them say something *really* dumb like, "wow, you may have a big wallet but you have a really small dick!" or "how'd you go so bald so young?" or "did you just fart?"
Or maybe you would. Who knows.
I like your dog photo, by the way. What a sweet looking mutt.

Oh, the girls aren't dumb at all. They just act dumb. Sometimes when the men are in the bathroom, they are quite different. They are definitely putting on an act. Is that what men want? Or is it easier for them to act that way.
ReplyDeleteThe dog's name is Keiko and she is a sweety. She even has her own song:
"Cuddling Keiko, Cuddling Keiko
She likes cuddling and looking at things"
Not much of a song, but it is appropriate. Sometimes she just sits and stares at me. It becomes unsettling after a while. Her other peculiar trait is that when she is resting, you can't touch her hind quarters without her growling. (past abuse?) Anyway, sometimes she'll growl when you sit next to her and sometimes she'll be sleeping and just start growling. Her growls grow more ferocious until she turns around to snap at whatever is bugging her. She has never bitten though. Her aim is just to scare. We find it adorably disturbing. I forgot to mention that she also wags her tail while doing this.
Her other odd trait is that when our other dog, Orson, is playing with other dogs, she gets jealous. She growls at him and grabs his collar in her mouth and pulls him away.
Orson's wonderful trait is that he lies on his back and pees when he is in trouble. Such a smart dog. He is rarely in trouble because of this.
