MS cutting pay

#1

In the interests of keeping my usually overly verbose response short, I didn't mention that he drove down once a week, stayed in the AC area for his 5 day shift and drove home for his two days off. The only reason I really remembered the conversation at all was that I had done some consulting work in South Jersey a year before that, and did the same thing.

I don't remember exactly where he lived in CT, because I had just moved to CT at the time and wasn't all that familiar with the towns. He noticed my CT license. That's when he said he lived in CT, and when I asked him why he didn't work at MS or Foxwoods, that opened the conversation. (Parenthetically, that was the night I hit 4oak Aces on DDB three times within 45 minutes, necessitating 3 w2g's, making it a somewhat memorable night, and a somewhat extended period of conversation) But I did get the impression he had done this for a while, and I guessed that he might have had some seniority because he was servicing the high limit slot area.

I once spoke at length to a slot attendant in Caesar's AC, who told

me that he actually lived in Connecticut, relatively close to MS, but
drove all the way down to, and worked in AC, because he got double
the pay that MS offered.

Guru:

It's a 4 1/2 drive from Uncasville to Atlantic City and it's another
4 1/2 hours back from Atlantic City to Uncasville.

Also MS will stop matching funds in employees 401 K's.

Dolly Parton and Queen Elizabethdie on the same day and theyboth go before an Angel to find out if they'll be admitted to Heaven.

Unfortunately, there's onlyone space left that day, sothe angel must decide which of them gets in. The Angel asks Dolly if there's some particular reason why she should get into Heaven.

Dolly takes off her top andsays, 'Look at these, they're the most perfect breasts God ever created, and I'm sure the angels will be pleased to see them every day, for eternity.'

   The Angel thanks Dolly, andasks Her Majesty the same question..

  The Queen takes a bottle of Perrier out of her purse, shakes it up, and gargles. Then, she spits into a toilet and pullsthe lever. The angel chuckles and says, 'Okay, Your Majesty, you may go in.'

   Dolly is outraged and asks,'What was that all about? I show you two of God's ownperfect creations and you turn me down. She spits into a commode and gets in! Would you explain that to me?'

   'Sorry, Dolly,' says the angel, but, even in Heaven, a royal flush beats a pair - no matter how big they are.._,___
