Monday Night Rant

Well, Saturday was my day of fun (as stated in my previous post). Don and I went to the Red Rock and had a great time playing the role of tourist. Check out his blog for a great synopsis of our day.

Work was very lucrative for me tonight and last night as well. Things seem to be running pretty smoothly over at the MGM. I had a weird guy sitting in my station last night and I had this feeling that he was on some sort of drugs. He was sort of talking to himself and whenever I would walk by he would make a big production out of looking for his guests (they were late to arrive). I had a feeling that his "friends" were never going to arrive, so I just took his order and put it in. After he ate half of his food, a hair magically appeared in his food and he called the manager over to the table. Of course the manager promptly comped his whole order and he quickly left. The cocktail server came over to me a few minutes later and told me that she thought he was the same guy that put glass in his food a few months ago and got a free meal that night too. It NEVER ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to to get free food.

I'm also SHOCKED at the tips I receive from some people. Tonight for example, Jose' had a party of 8 and their bill totaled about $400.00 They stayed an hour past closing and ran him to death. They thanked him profusely for the great service etc. etc. They left him $30.00. What the hell, shit, damn is that? Are people really that stupid? Did they think they were hooking him up? Do they realize that isn't even 10% It just drives me nuts and it wasn't even my table. It happens to all of us though.

I have only one day off this week and it's tomorrow (Tuesday). I want to do something fun, but I don't really feel like gambling again. I think I'm going to head to the Fashion Mall to buy some new jeans. New jeans are very fun to buy when you get to purchase a size smaller. Yes that's right everyone. I went down a size or two and I'm pretty pleased about it. I definitely wasn't trying to lose weight, but I guess with all the working - it just happened. I tried on about 10 pairs on Saturday before we went out and they were all hanging off my butt! YAY! The women reading this blog certainly understand my joy. The men probably just think of it as more money to be wasted on new jeans.

That's it for me tonight. Hopefully I'll see you guys online Tuesday night!

Hey Carmen. What you said about guys, well, it's true. Every time wifey Kim decides that she "needs" another article of clothing, I think the same thing, "more dough wasted on clothes." But, for what its worth, I'm sure they will look fantastic!

Carmen darling,

Again, with all respect to mah boy D, you were smokin' hot before you dropped a size. Nice job anyway.

I swear I am a monster tipper. It's bad karma not to be.
