Job Searching, Casinos, And Girl Songs About Boys

So yeah...still job searching. I have gone the restaurant route and encountered a few strange things. A) Downtown Disney (Denis Practically twisted my arm and told me to go there) has the regular kind of "busy in the summer, not busy again until Christmas" thing. OK, I can handle that. Then there are the College towns. College towns are busy right now, and in fact they are hiring...or they all already did like a week ago. Ass Fuckers. Ok...then there's the sports bar. Sports bars are actually my favorite because I feel comfortable in them. There have been a few really fancy places I have interviewed in, and even though I was all done up right, the difference in Pole in your ass culture as apposed to no pole in your ass culture shown right the hell through. Also...Uno's didn't quite give me the skills necessary to work in one of these establishments.

Another thing that's pretty fucked up is the amount of people working to get these jobs. California doesn't have a server’s wage. Minimum on everyone is 7.50 an hour plus tips. This goes up to 8.00 in January. I may have said this already but it seems that I am the only one this is mind boggling to...and every one already knows this game.

I have a degree. My degree is going to pay me an entry level pay check of....oh probably between 5 an 10 thousand dollars less a year than a serving job.

Also...I'm in Anaheim, Orange County...not terribly close to LA. Even that job I applied to in LA was on the south west side...as in I didn't have to drive through LA to get to it...as in pretty friggin rare.

Denis and Carol keep telling me there are all kinds of jobs in my field in Orange County...I would like to know where (other than Disney...and shut up about it.)

Another problem I am finding with a degree in my field is that I have no experience in it really. I have never had any management experience. I have only had maybe 4 months secretary type experience with my internship...everywhere "entry level" wants like two years experience in either.

So, I feel stuck banging my head against a wall for a job that will pay me less than my last one, will take longer to get to and from, and will probably make me wear that business attire I hate so bad.

To tell you the truth...I'm kind of done with Performing Arts Management. I would love to get into other arts management...but shitty small time bands can eat it.

Truth be told...I think I'm gunna get into breeding dogs pretty much as soon as I get my own house.

And getting my own house will go quicker if I make more money. And I will make more money waitressing. And I will be happier waitressing in a sports bar, where I can wear jeans and shoot the shit...not stick my nose up in the air.

Speaking of making more money, we went to the Casino yesterday. Have I said that Denis and Carol are just too rich for their own good and don't know what to do with their money yet? Don't get me wrong, they wouldn't really look it unless you really looked hard. Their house is modest...in one of the richest property areas in the country. They have two cars for the two of them...kind of. I won’t go into that. They shop for things so frugally that you would think they are on some crazy budget, until you realize that they just like the hunt of shopping for deals, because they have two or three of whatever at home already (or at least the one they have is just fine).

I mean, there not crazy, but they love to shop and spend money...on themselves and everyone around them.

SOOOO they love the casino. We all went yesterday, had a pretty lush buffet breakfast and they gave Paul 200 to gable with.

Roulette.

Now most people will tell you that it has the worst odds...and it does...if you play the numbers. However there are these other spots on the board where it’s for black or red, the first half of the numbers or the second, odds or evens. These pay one to one, and so far both in the real life and subsequent computer versions of the game I have never seen a streak of anything more than 8 times in a row.

Soooooo....what you do is you find a small minimum table. 5 dollars is what we found. You wait until there has been a streak of 2 or 3 of something. 3 blacks, 2 odds, three in the second half of the numbers....whatever, and you bet the next round will be the opposite of those (red, or even, or the first half)

If you lose you just double your money on the same bet until you win. The tricky part is you need like...500 dollars minimum to make sure you can cover a streak of 8 in a row (there are these 0's in there, they throw shit loopy some times) and I'm pretty sure you never lose.

The thing is it gets scary to put that much on the table. Also, I would never go to the casino with that much money anyway unless I was...Old and rich and didn't know what to do with my money.

You can play with the bet amounts and not do exact doubles each time...but it has to be more than double or it doesn't' work.

We were doing this yesterday and it was working...but we didn't have 500 we only had two. Paul got up to three then gave me 50. He lost a lot of his because he got a streak of 6 or 7, but I had turned my 50 into 90. Then he had another plan he wanted to try and it looked pretty good, but it wasn't as good as it looked so the rest of the money ran away too.

Go ahead, find an online one, try it out.

Well...Paul is bugging me for the computer so I guess I will have to save my rant about girl songs for boys later. That's ok, I just woke up and kind of need to brush my teeth before I gag myself.
