Robert is not at "home"

[87natty]

He is going to call me when he is alone

Stupid ass. I can't believe he went back after all this.

[Recklessrob]

If nothin' else, we should hear from him shortly.

[DCEPTCN]

He is going to call me when he is alone

Stupid ass. I can't believe he went back after all this.

Word, yo. I can't believe the power the nook has over us when we're under the spell.....I ain't badmouthin', 'cause I've been there.

[87natty]

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes you're not ready to go hunting again.

[Recklessrob]

I won't dis him for that either,(well no too much).

[Be4u]

Go ahead, I deserve it. I thought I could get out and stay out but its a ruff world out there. I had to retreat. Right now I'm not making enough to make it on my own. Shes promised to change...it's been 3-4 days alls good. We'll see if it lasts. I wish y'all would move out here to Vegas with me. Whenever I'm down I think about the move from Biloxi to Vegas...that was a great time topped off with the get-together.

[DCEPTCN]

This is merely more evidence that we need to throw an interim get-together......well, together. As long as I have 5 or 6 weeks to plan it, I can usually make it anywhere for the opportunity to tip 'em with my boys.

[87natty]

You do know it's our responsibility to bust your balls. Anyway, it's good to see you back, first of all. Second of all, keep thinking about and planning your exit plan. How's work?

[Be4u]

Work. Thats part two of the messed up shit.

Wynn is great! Love it. Wouldnt mind being as dedicated as I was at the BeAu. The shift manager (who, from now on will be known as Greg) has nothing but great things to say about me. "instant asset" is the best quote. I'm totally open with him telling him everything about whats going on with my job/s. He's totally cool with letting me call Monte Carlo to set up my orientation while my phone was off...from his office...durin g my work time. I didnt ask, he told me that if I need to call them to use the phone now, not later. He's understanding and supportive. More on this in a minute.

Wynn gave all his employees a christmas present. Not like MGM...they give you duffel bags or mardi-gras chairs for christmas. Wynn gave us an MP3 player that holds 90 songs. Pretty fuckin' sweet!

When I got the job at Wynn, I thought I'd make $12 per hour and $250 a week in tips. That plan backfired. I make $14 and nearly zip in tips. Booth cashiers arnt a part of the tip pool. That means I'm making 20K less a year working full time. I built my life around making 45-50K a year working part time and now I'm living in a more expensive city and driving ALOT farther to get to work. I didnt expect to make what I made in Biloxi BUT I didnt expect to make so little. Hence the other job.

Now, the other job(after this brief interlude)... I was a well liked, well informed, well known employee at the Beau. The chiefs told me many times that whenever I want full time to let them know. That doesnt happen. You dont have that option...but I did. The chiefs of the table games department thought highly of me because I didnt play games at work. They didnt have to watch me cause they knew if I messed up that I'd let them know and wouldnt just take it upon myself to fix the problem. Thats one of the major rules in table games...Dont fix your mistakes! Call a supervisor over and let him fix them. I was awsome with guests too. The chiefs used to compliment me on how well I treated the guests. I definatly went above and beyond. I remember pushing an old guy in a wheel chair through the whole casino...after I got off work. I was clocked out....not far from my car and the guy was looking for the elevators to his room. Someone gave him wrong directions or he got lost and ended up by the parking ramp elevators. I pushed his ass (with a smile) to the room elevators. Thats the type of employee I am. If a guest askes a question, and I'm able, I'll walk them to where they need to go....not point in a direction. Wheather I'm off work or on break, you get my best service! I feel like I'm the employee that every employer wants. I'm valuable. Like Greg said...."instant asset".

Now Monte Carlo....I've never been the brown-noseing type. IMHO, is a positive way to be at work. My lack of getting "juice" has caused me to get a job at MGM's worst property. The dealers get paid shit. Monte Carlo doesnt know what they've aquired. The chick at the Bellagio doesnt know my work history so she sent me to the Carlo. Yeah, she can look at my file and see a great work history but thats it.

Today I called Greg and asked him if in the future he could help me get into the table games at the Wynn. He said he will but not untill after the holidays. I told him that I wanted to prove myself and work for him for a while because he gave me a shot. I dont just want to up and leave him. I wouldnt feel right. Like I used him or something. (that paragraph sounded gay).

Today I called and left a messege for the Director of table games at the Beau to call me. I need to get into contact with the cheifs that think highly of me. I need to use them for references. I cant keep trying on my own. Of corse I could go in and toot my own horn but I hate doing that and how would they believe me anyways? I need to get the "juice" as bad as I dont want to I cant keep trying to do things by myself.

Thanks for reading my rant :prayer:

[Top Speed]

Hang in there, man.   It will all come together.

[Be4u]

I know...it will. I just want it now so I can put everything behind me. This whole thing just keeps draging on. I want to be posting on here about positive things. Not the shit thats going on right now. Thats why I havent been on much. Who wants to keep hearing about my bullshit? I appreciate y'all letting me turn to you for support.  :prayer:

[Be4u]

Thanks Cruzn. You definatly know how to make a guy feel better. One thing I learned a long time ago. If you want to make it you have to be a star employee. I try my best. It does pay off. The dealers at the Wynn are the best paid in Vegas. Thats me goal. A star is what they'll get.

So, how do you like your job?

[Ttype83]

Back to you......... won't go into your relationship with GF, but

[87natty]

This should be a given.
