Step 3: Fail at Gambling

Today I pretty much failed at life re: productivity.  I slept later than I'd intended, then didn't do anything beyond showering once I did get up.  (Though my hair looks pretty adorable today, if I do say so myself).  I DID, however, arrive at work a few minutes early because it was largely assumed that Captain I'm-Sure-I-Won't-Be-Fired-For-Job-Abandonment would show up for his shift (one of the ones I agreed to take) like normal.  Alas, he did not because he had apparently called Manager earlier in the day to "talk about what happened" and he was informed that Manager already knew exactly what happened, and that he had nothing more to say, J was done being an employee.  J was at first in disbelief, then he was angry, then Manager hung up on him.

So, I think that the drama is over and that's that.  OH HO!  I was wrong-ish.  Dude comes strolling in (in casual clothes, of course) shortly after 4, when both C, Ja, and I are there.  He walks in, comments on Ja's cut finger, asks for two packs of cigarettes, pays, then leaves.  Dude, wtf?  You JUST BOUGHT two packs of cigarettes less that 24 hours ago...did you really go through all of them?  Or are you just in here to snoop and see who they got to cover your shift?  I'm going with option b on that one.

ANYWAY, as the title of this post clearly indicates, I gambled tonight.  And failed at it.  See, what had happened was, there was this thing, with the other thing and it was right after the dealy-bopper...

FINE.  I bought $10 in scratch off tickets, won back $1, bought another scratch off ticket, and lost the dollar I'd won back.  LESSON LEARNED.  I do not gamble, as I am a fail boater about it.

This certainly hindered my $100,000 goal, as I spent ten bucks on paper I nearly immediately put into the garbage can. *sigh*  It's what I get for trying to cheat, ne?
