100 DAYS

IT’S 100 DAYS UNTIL WE TAKE THE SUMMER “OFF” FROM THE CASINO BUSINESS. IN CASE YOU CAN’T TELL, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS BREAK.

IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN WE WORKED WINTERS IN LAUGHLIN AND SUMMERS AT LAKE TAHOE WE WERE NEVER IN ONE PLACE LONG ENOUGH TO REALLY SEE OR GET INTO THE POLITICS OF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS.  THINGS LIKE THE SCHEDULE, WHO GOT PROMOTED, WHO GOT FIRED, WHO QUIT, ETC.

SINCE WE’VE BEEN IN THE SAME CASINO FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT, WE REALLY NEED A BREAK FROM ALL THE BULLSHIT.

100 DAYS UNTIL WE TAKE OFF FOR “THE MOUNTAIN”, AND ESCAPE THE HARSH SUMMER WEATHER OF THE LOWER MOHAVE DESERT.  A LOT OF THE BEER TALK AROUND HERE CENTERS ON FINDING NEW SUMMER JOBS. WILL WE FIND SOMETHING EXCITING TO DO LIKE WORKING IN ONE OF THE NATIONAL FORESTS, OR WILL WE BE AT MCDONALDS FLIPPING BURGERS WITH THE 16 YEAR OLD CROWD?

I LIKE TO TEASE MARY THAT SHE’S GOING TO END UP HANG’N AROUND LOWES TRYING TO GET A JOB AS DAY HELP PULLING WEEDS AND HAULING LUMBER…….

OR MAYBE WE WILL BE GONE FISH’N AND JOIN THE BINGO GROUP……

THE OTHER TOPIC THAT GETS DISCUSSED ENDLESSLY, IS OUR TRAVEL PLANS. WE ARE TAKING A ROADTRIP TO WISCONSIN IN MAY, AND A TRIP TO TEXAS IN OCTOBER.

IT’S KINDA LIKE WAITING FOR YOUR 16TH BIRTHDAY, AND IT’S ONLY A 100 DAYS AWAY !!!
