Good afternoon everyone. It's approaching noon in the desert as I type for you today. As a result of what we'll call "drive lag" from my cross-country excursion out to Las Vegas, combined with the stomach bug that went through my brother's household, I've been recuperating for the better part of the last two days. After returning home from the Strip with my brother at about 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, I spent the vast majority of the next 21 hours in bed, got up for 3 hours, and then went back to sleep for 9 more. After staying up for about 5 hours this morning, I returned to bed for about 3 more, and now I'm ready for the world (hopefully)...
While my brother worked on Tuesday and Wednesday, I inquired about possible poker dealer openings while playing a few hands myself. The poker has been going well so far, and I've put together three modest winning sessions. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - a small win beats a big loss anyday. The job prospects also seem promising, and I will be filling out online applications for the forseeable future. My plan is to fill out applcations until I land a job, and then find a place to live that is close to my place of employment. In the meantime, to audition/interview for jobs, and to play poker, my brother is my transportation to the Strip and the heart of the city, as his family's place is located on the outskirts of town. Hopefully I'll some good news for y'all on the job front shortly. In the meantime, have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend and I'll see you soon!
A job, what's that? I'm retired and vaguely remember what that gig is, lol.
ReplyDeleteUntil I get 3rd at a WSOP Seniors' Event.. :)
DeleteGood luck on the job front. The good news is I'll bet there are still plenty of rooms looking for temporary help during WSOP-time. I heard that the WSOP itself is short a ton of dealers, though I don't know if there is time to go thru there vetting process.
ReplyDeleteAlso....I'm thinking that every poker room in town is still locking for full-time grinders!
Checking all the poker avenues, thanks Rob... :)
DeleteDid you like your job at Wally World? Ask for a transfer to a Vegas store since you are already there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Doufous. I didn't want to transfer "blindly" from NH, w/o being able to see the store first. Plus, like Rob said, poker should be in high demand right now, and by definition, those jobs put me closer to the Strip, where I want to be...
