    Despite some other stress going on in Fail. I did just get a promotion at work which is giving me 5 bucks an hour raise. Have to do 70 hours of training, 30 of which is unpaid but going from 13 an hour to 18 an hour is pretty nice. I'm hoping the site I'm at will be easier on me then some of the ones I've been at.

    The interview from the site manager or whatever was fine with me working Casual/Part time. My scheduling lady is being a super cunt about it. I've been trying to not use my health as an excuse for why I only want to work 1-3 days a week. I've just been saying "I don't want to overload myself" which just gets me attitude.

    you know, myrrh, for living in canada you sure get a bunch of people being cunts to you. i'm starting to think either canadians aren't as nice as they like to think, or you come off as a douche irl.

    Knowing many Canadians, I'm going with option B.

    Last night for date night the gf suggested to go to the casino in Baltimore before dinner to have some fun. So we both decide to bring $80 so we don't lose too much. We play a couple table games and lose a little and she says she wants to do penny slots. We go to the section, I sit down at one and put my money in. First roll a bunch of gold coins pop over the screen and I have no idea what's going on. End up winning 160 free spins. As they spin through, it's winning money and additional free spins. When it's all said and done I had won over 400 free spins and $936.

    Damn, I want your luck. Most i've ever gotten was about 100 bucks off of a penny slot spin.

    I took a trip to a casino last month and won $500 free slot play from an event they were running one night. I took that over to the high-limit slots and played a Triple Diamond slot. I was down to the last $10 of the free slot play and had only made $60. On the last two credits ($5 ea) I hit "Triple Diamond", "Triple Diamond", "Blue 7" for about $1800.

    Fail 1 is that I lost it all plus a bit more at the tables the next day. Fail 2 is that I'll still have to file a W2-G form for the first time next year. Oh well, at least I have losses to counteract the winnings and not actually pay any taxes on my gambling.

    Slot machines are the most boring thing, though. 400 free spins sounds more like a punishment than a win.

    This is why casinos are another form of poor tax.

    You're not wrong. I had sat there for about a hour and a half before it was all done spinning. I didn't mind the wait considering money kept rising for me, and I made all that cash off a 30 cent spin. The gf was actually a little annoyed with me because she sat down next to me on a similar game and played to keep herself busy and lost the remaining money she had while I kept winning more and more. Because it took so long, we actually didn't even have time to go to dinner in Baltimore like we had planned and I now owe her a nice dinner somewhere this weekend to make up for it.

    At least you have $936 to take her out with.

    Then she can pull your lever and see if she gets lucky 7s.

    Casinos have a large base in poorer communities. There is one near my in-law's farm house along the Southern Tier in NY, Tioga Downs. Where the area is generally poor since IBM moved their operation from the area, the casino is constantly expanding. Shows how much people spend in this place despite not having the finances to actually do so.
