Im sick of all the card snappers and beggars on the strip personally.

For whatever reason, today is National Drink Steel Reserve Day if you are homeless. Thats all I saw the bums on the strip drinking today

In other news, I will most likely NOT be getting laid off at the Cosmopolitan after all! I went and spoke to the security manager today and he said he was going to see if any more open positions were available, he'd email the paperwork to my manager at the pool for me to transfer. If this pulls through, I should be starting as security November 7! Starting as PT with FT openings 4-6 weeks afterwards!

Life is good!

It shut down before I could take the test. So here is mine:
Economic Left/Right: -3.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

I did that for my late mother, and I don't think that I could do it again. Medical care isn't my thing.

Just give us a shout, and we'll meet you there.

No, and we have put up with snide comments by some tourists as well, and the beatings that some cops like to hand out.

If it would get us treated with more respect by the cops and the public, fine. Some of us are quite talented, and are doing the best we can to pay our bills, and provide for our families.

I wish you all the best Aqua. Sorry to hear about your truck driving school. Its ok I failed Geometry TWICE in high school, I just couldn't grasp it

Sorry to hear about the snide comments and the beatings. You and your wife dont deserve that. At least you guys have a reason to make a bit of money, and aren't just another guy who goes "Night clubs, strip clubs, I got all yo' passes right hea dough boy"

Guys like those should be yanked off the strip because theyre annoying, along with the snappers with the hooker cards, as well as the bums who sleep on the walkways and escalators. I assume you guys have a safe place to sleep at night?

That's a great image. Made me laugh. Is it true?

But of course she was safe. He only liked little boys.

Still not a crime.

I've never been good at math either, Davie. I'm much better at languages. I just ignore the porn slappers. Yes, we live in North Las Vegas, and have two roomies. We do all right.
