What do you do when you get home late. You’re sitting online at 12:30 AM and your friend pops online and says what’s up?
If you’re me you say… “Let’s go sledding!” 🙂
That right! I ran out at 1AM with a classic Radio Flyer Sled and some garbage bags (Refer back a few years to my psycho sledding post) and headed for the hills of Howard B Mattlin Middle School.
Work does something very cool that no other jobs I’ve worked at have
done. When I work on a holiday, I get tripple my hourly sallary. If the
holiday falls on my day off, I get an Alternate day off (paid) so
either way, whether I work a holiday or not, I get a benefit!
I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon when I checked my calendar
and found that I have off tomorrow. This is also good because I wanted
to attend a LIBN event being held at 8AM thurday morning and this will
give me a chance to get to sleep early so I’m not wiped all day Thu.
JaypoCON 2005 was eventfull and loads of fun. I had a great time, and I think all my friends did too. The gears are in motion for JaypoCON 2006 but I think I’m going to plan something more local. The only downside of the AC trip was that a lot of people couldn’t make it because of the distance and conflicting schedules.

Until next year…..
We spent the day in Caesar’s gambling. I played at the tables for the
first time and didn’t do too bad. The cheapest blackjack tables started
at $15/hand, so I sat down with Shawn and we each dropped $60. I didn’t
do too bad. I started out pretty good and almost trippled my money. Of
course, AC wouldn’t be in business if everybody won, so I kepy going
until I lost most of my winnings. I kept about $30 or so above my
initial $60 so I didn’t make out too bad. Later on, I was just
playin’ around with the nickel slots. Stuck $5 into Slingo and walked
out with $27 only a few minutes later.
It’s great playing cheap slots in the Casinos… You can sit there and
play all you want and the drinks are free. We need somewhere like that
here in NY. Somewhere you can sit down at a quarter-video-poker machine
and drink all you can. Hell, Friday night I put $10 into a Video Poker
machine and had 3 drinks while losing only $2.00 in the machine.
Tipping per drink, It was cheaper to have all 3 drinks and play poker
than it is to buy one drink here in NY!
We got to A/C around 9 at night. Unfortunately I had lefy my phone’s home charger at home and left the car charger in my car so my phone was about to die. We tried to foward my number to another number and screwed something up. Now my phone was stuck pointing to an invalid number, and we didn’t know how to turn off the fowarding. That, plus the fact that it was dying, I just gave up and put the phone in my bag. We’re lucky that everyone was able to find me! Some people almost didn’t!
We all finally did meet up and headed to the Hard Rock Cafe… After offending a neighboring table (with kids) and enjoying a good meal, we headed to the casino to play some games then headed to bed!
