Current music:with you - jamie foxx, snoop

i finally had a day off today. i planned to visit my good friend, the shops, in order to make a considerable dent in my newly acquired fat bank balance. ah yes, the joys of pay day. i wandered around the city to no avail. however, i'm not a total loser cos i managed to buy quite a few things in the end, but it was not nearly so heart pounding terrific as i had dreamed it would be. what a dissapointment.

i did my first overtime shift at work last monday. i worked from midday to half past midnight. it really takes it outta ya. i take my hat off to my cousin who can rack up close to 16 hour shifts. respect.

oh, and guess who so happened to sit down to have a punt at my caribbean stud table...the incredibly D-grade celebrity HOT DOGS from last year's big brother. i only barely recognised him, and he's MUCH better looking in person than on tv. to be honest, i thought he was a bit of a tosser when i saw him on tv, however he's really quite pleasant. and he won $25 whole dollars at my table. ah, bless him. my first celebrity punter. awesome.

i don't think the regular punters like me very much. they whisper among themselves when i come to the table that i'm "a very strong dealer", with many tsk tsk's, and there's this one guy who refuses to play when i deal because he's lost so much money to me. haha. and i have another regular that always comments to my supervisor at the time that i'm a very good dealer with a lot of sleazy innuendo. i think he's in love with me, the poor bastard.

anywho, i'm off to wash the hair dye out of my hair. i'm dyeing it black. it's original bloody colour. i'm such a chump.

Hey! It was good to meet you the other night, short as it was. Roulette is growing on me, Glenn feels the same. Its very addictive after you get past the daunting aspect of it.

Croupier training

Hi,

Have found your LJ whilst doing a search on being a croupier at Burswood.

I've got an interview on Tuesday - what's involved, is it fairly straightforward and do the schools run on a rolling basis (so I can start either before the last week of August or after the second week of September?)

Also, having done the job for a little while now, would you recommend it?

Cheers!

Hey =)

sorry, i'm barely on lj lately so i just saw your post...the schools are currently just black jack, and they are planning to have quite a fair few coming through. they are really just churning us through! i would recommend the job cos it's very easy money. it's not strenuous, the only downfall is you have to deal with shitty punters. but you know, you cop that if your in the service industry. so it's pretty good. and now with the training school only being two weeks, you're up there dealing on the main gaming floor within the two weeks and getting paid, so it's quite fair. good luck with it!
hope to see you there =)

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Went to the interview and got the job, starting on September 4th. Could have started August 20th but have a mate comming over from the UK that I'm playing tour guide to. Used to be a cop in the UK so quite used to dealing with idiots of all flavours!

The maths during training isn't too strenuous is it?
