Luck be a Lady
Each day, I learn more and more about myself. It seems that all I need to do is stop long enough to pay attention to the feedback my own brain and conscience is shouting at me. Last night, I learned, quite expeditiously I might add, that gambling, though fun, will burn thru money in no time at all.
I was in Michigan on business, when my client decided she wanted to hit the Casino and do a little gambling. Never one to deny a customer their request, we headed to Michigan City to play some slots. Eighty dollars of my money and forty dollars of her winnings later, I called it quits. Lady luck never smiles on me when I’m surrounded by flashing lights, tired pensioners chain-smoking into the night, and watered down drinks passed out by waitresses that would rather be shoving bamboo shoots in their cuticles.
Said customer stayed in Michigan an extra day, and called earlier today to advise that she stopped off on her way home to Chicago, and won an additional $250.00
I hung up on her.
