The Demise of my Reputation?
On Tuesday I lost $150.
On Wednesday I won $475.
Yesterday I was in the city picking up some files. While I was at the train station about to head back to the office, Nom calls and tells me Livvy LA just called and wanted a lawyer there. She told me to get there by 10:30. She called me at 10:00.
WTF?
I told her I didn't drive, and she says to get there by 11:00. I told her I'd get there at about noon realistically, and later on she calls me back to say that she has sent Rod. Phew, bomb defused. I hate when that happens. It just puts so much stress when you not only have to do the list, but you get notice of it on the day and you'll be late for it anyway.
So yeah, it turned out to be just an average office day for me. I did feel a little bit bad since it had seemed like I had dogged it and shoved it to Rod, but you know what, I've realised a lot of people. even baristas, like to dish off work to others.
I saw the sons of the annoying gsmbling client in the afternoon. It's so sad when 1) a father decides to leave his family and start another family with a younger women and 2) the sons say "we're not that close to him actually".
If I ever, EVER abandon my family like this guy for another women, kill me.
And you know what made it worse for me? They said that since being in jail, they have been depositing money into their father's account so he can make phone calls and stuff, and he hasn't made one single phone call to their mother, instead opting to call his younger mistress all the time.
That's fucked.
I was about to go to drinks with the people in my office, but then I realised Rod wasn't going, so the thought of spending a night with Nom, Trev, George and Yoj turned me off. Instead, I got a lift of Rod to the train station.
You know which part of us most resembles the Denny/Alan drinks at night? When we go to the Happy Cup store in the afternoons to get a bubbletea drink and have a chat, lol.
As you may have guessed, I went to the casino after. I lost $400. I left, went to At Michelle's, then came back. I won back $50.
But by this time, it was like 4am. I had seriously spent a huge amount of time there. My eyes are hurting now because I haven't had enough sleep.
I wonder if this is the start to the demise of my reputation. Earlier in the night, I saw Sheree and Angela there. They didn't look like they were gambling, they just looked like they went there to check things out. Not sure if they saw me, but the sight of them there hit me in the face that this habit could influence my professional career.
On the way back to the bus stop, I saw Paul, Dunnycan's friend, who had played a few games for us before on Thursday nights. He asked me where I had been, and I said some bar which I couldn't remember the name of.
Hmmm.
Maybe I should stop going.
Or maybe I can just go in the daytime =)
I woke up at about 11am today, took a shower, got dressed, and headed back out. I won $300. I need to calculate my total gain/loss.
Hold on a moment...
A gain of $1,390? That can't be right.
