I Am A Sorry Las Vegas Resident: I Didn’t Show Up At The Nevada Caucus

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

So I lied the other day and said it was slow here in Vegas. I just *thought* it was slow then! Friday night proved to be a chorus of crickets chirping and I ended up hanging out with some friends later on in the night which I regret now since I missed Saturday day and night. I also ended up not getting my butt out to the Nevada caucus at 11am due to… well I probably couldn’t drive.  Shame on me. All of the harassing phone calls by Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s campaign and my local precinct organizer didn’t pay off because really… Saturday morning was a dumb time to have a caucus in Las Vegas. Really. They should have had it at 7pm on a Monday or something. By that time we have all sobered up from the weekend, people who have regular jobs during the daytime can go and the night owls should be awake by then. Simple plan! If that was the time then I am sure 90% of residents would have been there! Make it 100% if you add a cash bar with martini’s poured by our randy Mayor Oscar Goodman and some bar nuts. Bingo! Biggest turn out in *America*

I had actually considered showing up drunken and in slutty clothes but that would have been a $20 cab ride from where I was. I figured that would have been very Vegas and American of me to show up in that condition… but alas, I don’t think I would have been able to stand it. Cast a vote drunk? Yes… Stay for a caucus thing that takes more than 5 minutes? No…. that’s too much drunken effort.  Well I definitely will be present in November.. and with bells on.

Christmas Is Over And I Am Back In Vegas

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

Well I know its been a while and I really hate that I got behind on my blog. I just got through reading some of my comments and glad to see I was missed! hehe. Everything has been better and I usually go out of town in December for a bit of a break to go see family and such. Plus December just *blows* (no pun intended!) I have often bailed out of Vegas for the past few years after the Rodeo leaves town because it dies down so bad that you end up spending more on gas or just food a day than you are making. I’d rather spend that boring time with family and friends!This year right after Rodeo started there was this odd phenomenon of a fight weekend. Usually big boxing matches bring the creme de la creme of whatever nationality the fighters are. If its a Latin fighter it’s like the Mexican invasion. If it’s two people like Mayweather and Holyfield, it gets pretty ghetto and crazy around town. The fight the first weekend of December was Mayweather versus Hatton who is an English boy who is some sort of home town hero. I wondered if any males from the UK were even left over there that weekend because it seemed like they all hopped on a plane and went to Vegas. I was running around like a mad man for 3 days. The time change for them made my schedule wacky! It would be dead and a doornail around 9pm-4am and then it was non stop calls until 4pm the next day.Girls always talk about their best and worst nationality of customers (I’ve even rated it on my old blog). My opinion of the English? Totally hit or miss as far as making money. South English (Londoners and other cities in the south) generally spend some good cash because heck.. the American dollar is poor! They get more for their money! Northern English (Birmingham, Manchester… which it seems Hatton was from up north) are generally cheap and can be pretty aggressive. So it was like a huge swing that weekend. It was either good money or nothing. Sorry but I don’t have an hour all inclusive session for $200. I think Mexico is about that much these days. hehAnyway I must hustle the next few days. New Years Eve in Vegas is nuts and can’t really work until 5am when the Strip reopens. I will try and not drink in the mean time… ha ha!

Blog World Expo – Las Vegas

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Well I am glad so far tonight has been a slow night because I have to go to bed early and be up bright and early for the Blog World Expo which is being held here in my lovely city of Las Vegas. I am excited to go and listen and learn about all things blogging especially since I just moved my site over here to my own domain. I love pointers, input and see what other people are doing. Maybe I will meet some of you there… and definitely meet new people.

Some girls complain.. I abstain!

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

The early summer heat recently, I think, has some working girls and phone girls thinking it is already the dead of summer…. Usually about the middle of August things start to slow down in Las Vegas because people have kids getting ready to go back to school and stuff and so there is a lull in the vacation travel.. and conventions don’t get scheduled during that time very much for the same reason.. (as well as the heat.) Well it’s not that time yet! It’s still the beginning of July and there is definitely money to be made here if you want to.. you just have to stay focused and work hard without getting a bad attitude.

All these girls have been sitting around in the offices when it is slow complaining about how “oh it’s just summer… oh well..” rather than beating the pavement and getting some calls and making something work when they get one. I’ve personally had a great week – three nights I cleared 2g’s. I said something tonight to these girls that were all complaining and I could see it was spreading to the others. I said it’s not that time of the summer you are talking about yet and it’s been great for me. One other girl said, yeah, she’s right.. I’ve had a great week.

Bad attitudes spread like wildfire. I think in every business attitude is everything, but particularly in this one. *shrugs* And oh yeah… YAY FOR THE WORLD SERIES OF POKER! Almost every call I had tonight was someone from the WSOP… you guys rock!
