Katie runs the dealer school I attend and works as a floor manager at the Avalon Casino three days a week. Today she mentioned that she got into some trouble on her job last night. "What happened?" I asked.
"I walked out to a customer's car with him."
I can see how that might be cause for concern when you work for a gambling establishment. "Why did you walk out to his car?"
"To give him a blow job," she replied.
"How much money did you get?"
Jim runs the poker room at the Silver Nugget Casino. Jim has a crush on Vicky, my blackjack instructor. Vicky has a crush on me, so she told Jim that she's sending me over for an audition. I'll be seeing Jim tomorrow morning.
Linda is a new blackjack student at the school. She works as a VIP Concierge at one of the local casinos. That's a job that you can't get unless you're in your early twenties, charming, perky, articulate and look like Britney Spears with hair. Linda always sits beside me at the tables, laughs at all my jokes and looks to me for approval when she's dealing.
Today, Linda made a public announcement that she had chosen me as her mentor, or words to that effect.
This casino dealing thing is becoming a soap opera. Nobody told me it was going to be like this when I signed up.
