Breathless Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Restraint, it's a good thing to have! But it sounds like quite the cruddy day Dark, hopefully tomorrow will bear better fruit!And yeah, Apollo, sounds like you have a pretty darn cool job! Congrats on the promotion, kind-of thing.A little update about my dealer training, my class got split up into two groups. 1- Black Jack 2- Roulette. I'm in the former. Got given another math test, this time top of the class, *tear*, had another time-trial thing, improve my time by 20s, so quite the good day.

† Emotional Outlet Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Why would they take your keys, that's so stupid. If my roommate's girlfriend took my keys, I would slam her head in the oven or something, because in order for her to take them, she would have to go looking through my purse. I already couldn't handle her looking through our cabinets like it's her house. You're going to be the best dealer person thing at the casino yet, haha. Are you going to be able to man all the tables or are you going to specialise after all your training is over? I have no idea how casinos work other than I had a birthday at a casino buffet once in Mississippi. I was also nine and did not play table games. Library wasn't too exciting today. Yesterday the kid tours came in during my shift, but today they weren't scheduled to come in until half an hour after I'm done there. I put away some books and spent the rest of the time alphabetising the DVDs. I wept gently through the process. There was also a small baby who was very aggravated by her mother's desire to find music CDs, so every five minutes the baby would scream and the mom would be like, "Shh, you're okay. Be quiet." And the baby would be quiet for a minute before doing it again. Oh yeah, and there was a lady behind me who was on the phone talking about politics and talking smack about DOD. It was weird.

Breathless Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are those children hard to control? Fight them! Baby crying? Fight him! It's the new solution to everything!Funny enough, I love hearing about your days. I'm actually secretly in love with you I actually wanted to be a librarian back in High School so it's quite interesting hearing about it. I mean, I have helped out at a library before but that was more so tutoring kiddies there, not really library-ish stuff. And as for my dealing. At the start I'll be trained in one major game, two minors. My major game is Blackjack, and my minors would be like Casino Wars, or something. (We haven't gotten that far yet) After going on to the main floor and dealing for 6-12 months they'll give me my next major game +2 more minors, probably Poker or Roulette for the next major game. They're pretty strict so every dealer has to always be learning games until all games are done to perfection.My day today, nothing really happened, it was the same as yesterday. I start night-shift next Tuesday though (18:00-02:00), and I get Monday off for a public holiday, so that's pretty exciting!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I fight babies in my spare time. Just mobs of them while I swing around an oversized ax. I am an anime. It is me. That's pretty cool though, I guess it makes sense to make dealers learn all the games. I can't even shuffle proper, I just kind of throw the cards in the air and hope that works. Being a librarian assistant is pretty fun. Since I'm one of the few adult volunteers, and also the only one who comes in every day, I get to do my own thing for the most part. And because I tend to work straight through my two hour shifts, I can take breaks whenever I want and no one cares. It is different from when I had to pretty much had to work through twelve hour shifts straight. I slept in toilet stalls and ate a lot of fried chicken. I put away the media tie-ins and children DVDs today since I didn't do it yesterday. Someone is going into all of the bins and rearranging the books. I'm pretty sure because I always put the books in facing a certain way. When I went to shelve, they were all facing a different way. It's not even typical children destruction. It was a deliberate and organised attack on my methods. Alphabetising the DVDs is still going slowly. I made it all the way to L by the end of my shift. I was either really high yesterday or someone is messing with me, because I noticed that that first half wasn't just disorganised--it looked like someone took a mess of DVDs from the start of each lettered section and then moved them to the end. So, like, everything from Cabin in the Woods through Casablanca ended up after Chronicle. There was a tiny Asian tot who wandered away from his mother, clear across the library. I took his hand and led him back. Obviously I am not a kidnapper, but it's kind of funny to me that little kids tend to just take my hand like I am a responsible adult.

Breathless Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Sometimes fighting babies is what you have to do! How else do they expect you to attain the title of Grand Baby Slayer!?Ah, the cool thing is we don't have to know how to shuffle, like, at all. Every one of our tables has an automatic shuffler which holds 4 decks, so yay for that. I'm pretty terrible when it comes to shuffling. Aah, blast those shelves and how messy they get! Actually, I'm one of those people who don't put things in the same shelves at the library. Sorry! I'll try to go to the same shelf but if the first letter or two are the same, I just leave it there.Children are pretty silly sometimes, I guess that's why they created things like 'Stranger Danger!' and other things to educate them. But I know when I was a child every female adult seemed trustworthy, haha. Males on the other hand, unless they were wearing a uniform, I was sure they were always out to kidnap me!====Today is the weekend, yay! I'm going to be catching dinner with some friends, and then going over one of their houses for a LAN get together thing. (Even sleeping over! I feel like a child again!)

† Emotional Outlet Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 That sounds like magic, haha. The problem with just sticking stuff on the shelf with other books that match the call number is authors end up split up incorrectly. So like all the Hunger Games books and the Artemis Fowl books have the same call number-- YA COL. But if you just shuffle them together (like a lot of the other volunteers do), people who want Colfer's books is going to end up looking at Collins's books and god knows who else. Plus we have like fifty copies of the Hunger Games trilogy, so having them split up all over the place looks dumb. (The fact that we even have so many copies bothers me because it is such a small library, but that's a different story.) Weekend has been pretty mellow for us so far. I did all the laundry, Java did all the dishes, and my roommate, who is technically on mids, has been staying up late into the afternoon. Apparently he got a package from his girlfriend's mom and it had booze in it or something. I don't know. My brain tends to shut off whenever he talks about her in any context, lest I fly into an uncontrollable rage. And I don't drink soooooOOoooOOOO...

† Mute point Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Kids all seem to love me too. If I was a kidnapper, I would have an entire garage full by now... and I have a pretty big garage... Best thing is that most of the really young ones understand basic sign, and I can usually figure out where they are supposed to be without using the TTS on my phone. (Started using it instead of the netbook because it is smaller, and possibly more powerful...) And they still love the computer voice. Last night, there were 4 of them playing in the hallway. I don't blame them at all, because hospitals are boring most of the time, but the hallways is not a good place to play. So I rounded them up, checked in with the mothers, and took them to the waiting room for a semi-quiet game of dodge-teddybear. (It's like dodgeball, but with teddy bears instead of balls.) By the time they went home, they were tired, and I got lots of thank yous from the moms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Mute point Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I enjoy working in the hospital. I know that, job-wise, there's nothing I'm doing that someone else couldn't do, but realistically, not everyone has the proper mindset and empathy to do the same job I do. Today I helped a nice old lady take a bath. She was funny, and might have been hitting on me.. Hard to tell sometimes. (The most innocent of old lady phrases change meanings completely when the emphasis changes from one word to another... But because they're old, and have a lot of practice, the emphasis is hard to detect sometimes...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't be a human nurse, no way. I just don't think I'd be able to handle working with people. I'd take a fractious dog over people any day, haha. So far, I've spent the day as a couch potato, watching Battlestar Galactica. Now I've got to get up and shower and things, then go to rehearsal tonight.

† Mute point Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Entomology is simply the study of bugs. It is useful in forensics if you know what arrives when, and how long that thing takes to hatch into that other thing. I doubt it's as accurate as it is on TV though. My day was uneventful. Spent most of it sitting in my chair trying to catch up on missed episodes of WWE Monday Night Raw. Funniest, moment so far...
