I have worked the 18 out of the last 20 days. Earnt about $1000 this week, although would love a day off.
Anyway, in celebration of that fact that the crisis is pretty much over, the other manager and I went out to our local and played pool. My brother eventually showed up and I won 2 our of 3 games. Actually I've been schooling my pool hard, and I smashed him - sinking all 8 in 4 shots.
During this time, I managed to get both stoned and drunk.
Oh I should mention, although I've been earning a lot, I've also been paying off a lot of bills, and ended up with all my food for the fortnight, but absolutely no money. Although around $1800 coming in next week.
Anyway we went along to my brothers nerdy poker nights (I say nerdy because they're all made up of nerds - not because poker is nerdy). There were 11 of us playing and it included the Catholic girl I made cry, and another girl who I have a strong dislike for, over a number of issues. Anyway I proceeded, after my brother put in for me, to get even more stoned, through a whitey, vomit all over the toilet, come down and play another hand or two, fall asleep on the couch, wake up still in the game, and then go on, from short stack - to overall winner
.
I think when you can win poker, fall asleep and vomit all over the floor in the one night, that's pretty much nirvana.
So it's nice to have some money to last me until Saturday now too.
Also in completely unrelated news, I may have organised myself a free trip to Europe to play footbag. We'll have to wait and see though, I'm unsure if I'll hang around while I'm there, or just stay for the weekend. Still it should be fun.
I rock.
