maybe it’s only me but….whenever i get a package from someone i don’t know, and i can’t remember why anyone should be sending me something…i think it’s a mail bomb. it happened today. i got a package from fedex (which usually it’s ups and usps) and i had no clue who it was from or what it would be.
it wasn’t a bomb. it was my hands i bought on ebay. 2 aluminum hands and one porcelain. yay. they are so rad. i really need to get a bookcase soon, cuz i have so much crap i want to display.
omg it’s so cold in here. i have ice INSIDE my apartment. along the window legdes. i havent had the heat on in the spare room since leighanne was here, and it’s no colder than my bedroom. holy crap.
in other news. i think i’m gonna get a cell phone and ditch the home phone. i was looking at plans and things tonight, and it’s only like 5$ more for the cell plan i’d get. and that way people could reach me when i’m at work and shit. not like anyone calls me but whatever. i’m paying for a phone either way, i might as well have it with me all the time, right? i am gonna talk to the cingular people at the store tomorrow, then order online, cuz that way my phone is free. unless they give me a free phone at the store. all i know is, if i do this, i’m totally getting the “personal jesus” ring tone. it’s fabulous. some of the u2 ones are really good, like lemon was really nice, but omg bullet the blue sky…funniest thing ever. maybe get the mario theme too
and speaking of mario, i got both my nintendos and set them up. then went ordering games on ebay hahaha. yay for nintendo. weird, cuz the first nintendo has those red and yellow jacks, for sound and video, to hook it to the tv…but the super nintendo doesn’t…u have to use the rf adapter thing, and then plug the digi cable into it blahblahblah. the red and yellow things are so much more convenient.

GAH I HATE HIM.
and in other news, i did indeed get a real cell phone. i will send out the number to those who need it later today. i’ll cancell my current home phone at the end of the month. of course, i’m already having an issue. trying to download ringtones, but for whatever reason i don’t think it’s working. so after the board meeting gotta call customer service about it. i gotta have my phone play personal jesus when i get a call. damn straight.
HOLY CRAP. danielle is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but i can’t say why. sorry
but GAH
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m really irritated and pissed off right now. i’m glad that my “friends” care so much about me that they follow through with plans.
the only consolation is that i’m not alone in this feeling.
slept til 4, went back to work LOL. we had 2 hours of dual rate training, got manuals, super speedily went through them, and started our shift. spent about an hour and a half on pai gow, and then i got to shadow the supervisor in roulette for the rest of the night. ended up flooring 2 games, doing the player ratings, and stuff, closing a table. the end of the night roll, to switch from swing to grave shift…ug. i don’t get it. so that’s gonna be the really only hard part, that’s gonna take some getting used to. but it was cool.
i feel like crap though. i felt like i was getting sick the past few days, sneezing alot. felt like crap yesterday, almost didn’t go to the party. anthony gave me cold meds before the party that made me feel better. today my head doesn’t feel as stuffed up but, it’s still all wacky and blah. i hurt all weird in my head and mouth. i don’t get it.
apparently the party got really rowdy with fights, and throwing chairs off the balcony and people getting fired. sucks ppl ruin stuff for everyone by acting like idiots. it’s like, hello…you are still at work, and you are still representing the casino with your actions. people are asses.
i forgot tonight was the work holiday party….24 hours long…i was gonna go for A drink and go home….*looks at watch* 4 hours later….
it’s funny what ppl say when they’ve been drinking. i was told a handful of times that i’m the best dealer in the place, and how happy various people are that i got promoted. i had my boobs checked out by a girl who lifted up my shirt, and whoever else was standing around. i had my tongue checked out for it’s piercing ability. i licked chocolate off of this one kid’s head for 5$ hahaha. it was fun. and i’m totally not drunk.
i really need to sleep now. the party was loads of fun.
went shopping again. bought 200$ worth of new clothes. 2 more “blazers” and 3 pairs of pants. i think i might take back one of the blazers i bought yesterday, cuz the DKNY one i bought today is so much more amazing. my jacket fetish is gonna get me in trouble hahah. i still need shirts but i figure i can buy nice shirts at target and stuff.
i was contacted by the kid who’s conquored the marine star *jealous*. he is the one who took the crappy picture out the windows of bob’s tower. lol
i did indeed get promoted. i am now a dual-rate floor supervisor. i have training class on tuesday and wednesday. sucks cuz now i can’t go to the sabres game wednesday. blah. as of now it seems i get to keep my days off, which are good. if they change them, i have to beg to keep my thursdays, since that’s when ctrc board meetings are, and…it’s gonna be kinda important for me to go to them soon. i gotta see if i can change my vacation too. maybe hopefully get the nevada test site tour week.
now i get to go shopping tomorrow for business attire, and new shoes. woo.
i went to the outlet mall today to find work clothes. i bought a plain black blazer from dress barn for 27$. i bought 2 really wonderful blazer/coats from olsen europe. they’re longer, and they rock. and they would have been 231$ but i got them for 82$…total. not each. a nice 155$ discount lol. then to rebel against the stuffier clothes i have to wear now, i bought a pair of satin buckle pants from the guess outlet, original price 92$, got them for 43$. bought a pair of shoes for if i wear skirts…i hate shoes. i hate looking at them, i hate shopping for them, and i hate wearing them. they’re going to be so uncomfy. blah. hate shoes. we’re not allowed to wear sandles or clogs, or i’d get something sandle-y. bought a few books too…dark tower book 4, and a book on las vegas. i just need to buy some shirts now, and a few pairs of pants…most likely black, you know haha. gonna do more shopping tomorrow. olsen had these killer vibrant red velvet pants that i wanted so bad, and were 70% off the discount price (like the jackets), but i came back down to reality, and remembered…i’d probably never be able to wear bright red velvet pants. blah. they had a jacket to go with it to, but i don’t think the casino would like me wearing a bright red velvet suit to work.
whatever.
i’m getting political…only 11 more months til we get a new president

i can’t find my fav one tho…oh well.
so amy came down from rochester this afternoon. i had taken a shower while she was en route, and then the shower wouldn’t turn off. so when she got here, we had to sit around and wait for the land lord to show up. kinda felt bad we just sat there and watched tv and stuff. once the shower was fixed, and the closet door was fixed, we headed out to dinner. ended up at buca’s, and besty, another geneseo-ite, met us there with her boyfriend. had lots of food, had a giant piece of chocolate cake, and then came back here where we commensed tv watching again. but it was really fun, good to see her again and chat and everything. too bad danielle wasn’t around too. amy was going to stay the night, but then decided not to. so after she left i went to the grocery store, and of course the minute i leave the house it starts sleeting haha.
i always find it interesting to see who else goes grocery shopping at 1am lol.
came back here and updated digital undertow with the road trip photos. tomorrow i gotta fix my resume to send to russell, i keep procrastinating it. blah.
lots and lots of trent dreams all night. firstly that the new record will come out in april. that trent will die of cancer. that i was going on a tour of his house. and the big dream…i was in whatever town trent lived in (cuz it wasn’t new orleans) and walking by his property. he had a big huge piece of land that was all fenced off. there were streams and ponds and all sorts of stuff on his property. i was hoping that he’d somehow see me walking by and be enchanted by me and all this. apparently he was, and he sent some employee of his to come get me. when they found me i had already crawled through a hole in the fence and i was hiding by one of the ponds. the person took me and this black girl that was with me, to this dark shed type structure. we had to wait there to be crucified. apparently everyone who trent let in his life had to be crucified, to prove their loyalty or something. so first, the guy started to crucify the black girl. once that was done, he came to me and hammered the nails into my hands. apparently trent had special powers, because after we were crucified, he came to see us and take us down off the crosses, and he’d heal us and we wouldn’t die. but he didn’t want the black girl, so he ignored her, and he just came to me. he took the nails out, and held me and told me he loved me.
isn’t that lovely.
work was boring. i missed the new years fun being stuck in the high limit room. the party seemed killer, way cool effects and decorations and stuff. adr and kristen stopped by and i got to talk to them on my break. only had one game on our table all night, managed to get out a half hour early. got a glow necklace too. and after so many times of the “i’m hungry” “me too i want breakfast” “ok good night” conversation between rocco and i, we finally went and got breakfast after work. i guess it took me actually saying the “so you wanna get breakfast?” line for it to happen. talked about work of course.
and the biggest news is. i think i got promoted. i say “think” cuz i’m really not sure. hah. i knew for a few weeks that i had been nominated for it, and been nominated by quite a few people. the shift manager stopped me today and asked “Are you interested in the dual-rate floor supervisor position?” i said yes, and he said ok. and that was it. LOL but apparently thats what he said to others who got promoted tonight, so i take it to be a good sign.
and the other good news is the sabres scored 7 goals tonight ROFL.
i forgot one of my new years resolutions in my last post: i will not be stupid with boys.
according to the hotjobs salary calculator “The median expected salary for a typical Gambling Dealer/Attendant in Niagara Falls, NY 14304, is $15,781” and lets just say i made way more than that. that’s like 7.50 an hour. i’m not sure how that can possibly be calculated right. it claims the national average as only 16,149, and the vegas average as 17,021. that’s completely insane.
