"It seemed like a good deal Howie" me in the first round of Deal Or No Deal accepting the initial offer

 

Tomorrow it's supposed to snow but also get warmer and start being in the 30s-40s and I'm hyped!!!

 

I couldn't figure out how to use the slot machines at Harrah's in New Orleans. So I played that one where you call the color the ball stops on. Didn't do too bad but like blackjack and stuff stresses me out.

 

i'm a terrible gambler, my life set a precedent as a kid. my dad use to get football cards through his job and hed sometimes spot me to let me pick games and one time i had almost 60$ (alot to a lil kid) riding on the Jets losing...... that was the year they won only one game in the late 90s...... never wanted to gamble since lmao.

 

I used to work at a casino so gambling has little to no appeal. I'd play the slots sometimes and it is a rush when you make money and you're like woaaah I have an extra $100 for no reason!! But more often you lose and just hate life and think about all the other things you could've bought with that money instead. Might as well set ur money on fire or something. But once you see the same customers there from morning until night or coworkers who get paid and gamble their paycheck away it's just like

 

i have an uncle that is addicted to gambling and works at a casino. he thinks he's a professional poker player. sad face indeed.

 

Yeah it's super common unfort. If they did a breakdown I'm sure a huge chunk of business is from employees. I had a coworker gamble her paycheck away so she tried to steal tips from the blackjack dealers and she got fired. A lot of ppl were just desperately trying to make enough for rent and would end up losing it all. It's depressing.

 

i once won 10$ in an online poker tournament (after losing 20$ playing over a few months)


can't wait to beat some scrubs in the new casino outside of boston (but not really)

 

my grandpa lives in Coachella and it's basically casino galore for him.

The amount of times I visit him and him constantly asking for money, it gets super tiring.

 

I was watching lifetime movie network with my mom today and I felt bad. All the commercials on the channel were ether weight loss commercials or commercials to help get better skin.

I swear there was like four different brands of weight loss diets trying to advertise constantly.

also lifetime movies are so bad but also so addicting.

 

I just got a thank you email from the City Administrator for sending flowers to his father's funeral. He said how beautiful the flowers looked, how his mother specifically commented on the ones I sent. He then said I was a good person, and that I make the City better because of how compassionate and caring I am and he thanked me for all that I do for our office.













I never sent any flowers...

 

Get ready for the second email

 

Yeah, I wanted to pull a George Costanza and take credit for it, but I ended up going to his office and let him know that, while I appreciated the email and his kind words, the flower shop made a mistake and wrote my name on the card instead of "Mayor and City Council". Hella awkward

 

second email will come in calling you a shitbag and claiming you are ruining your local government

 

I already hear that several times a day from the citizens calling in to the Mayor's Office haha

 

I want to go watch Silence tonight because $5 movies but like the movie doesn't start until like 8 pm and it's nearly a 3 hour movie.

 

I normally just browse this thread, but I'm gonna start posting in here because you guys seem like cool cats and I need friends.

 

I've probably mentioned this a million times but I legit hate 5 pm on most hip hop radio stations because they always do these drive home at 5 mixes and they aren't very good.

like the way they blend the songs is just blah.

 

"He didn't get a salad so why don't you toss me in one so I can eat it in case he doesn't tip."

Oh, so you mean exactly what I was going to do?

 

But hey, at least they don't call here anymore. Little victories.

 

It's a snow day or more like an ice day. Will attempt to go to work. If y'all don't hear of me again these are my final words!!

 

Omg this is how I die. I could barely make it down the steps from my front door. I had to hang onto the railing for dear life. I couldn't go down my driveway and had to trek down the slopey lawn. The streets are like an ice skating rink and I slid everywhere just walking in it. Omg terrified. My windshield has such a thick layer of ice it's like that one filter on photoshop that makes everything look thick and glassy and I can't see out of it and it's taking forever to defrost. Bye cruel world. Nice knowing you!

 

Ok well that didn't work. After spinning in a bunch of circles and going all over the place I decided to count my losses and park and wait for rescue!

 

Stay safe

 

Rescue attempts failed lol so I had to walk back uphill to my house. It was ridic. Like I'd just be standing still and would slide down a few feet so it took forever! My lawn is sloped and I had to crawl up it on all fours. Worst part is that my eyeshadow looks amazing and there's nobody to witness it! Except my rommate but she doesn't count.
