Another week almost over with
We had another unannounced bus this morning 15 minutes before we normally shut down the buffet so we can clean and get lunch out, we ended up extending breakfast until 11:10 and then scrambled to quickly set up lunch for the people waiting for it.

Sick
I managed to catch a cold that is going around at work and ended up leaving work early today.
Yesterday I managed to throw up half of what I ate for dinner right after I got home.

3-1
Looks like I am going to lose this week, mainly due to the fact that half of my team is on a bye week.

Fantasy football
I hope I win this week in my fantasy league, it might be close with some of the big scores out there.

Rams make it all better for all teams
After watching the Rams get dissected by Julius Jones and TJ Duckett, it made everything better for the Seahawks.

A: We don’t know, but the Seahawks seem on course to find out.

Day off
I get to stay up late tonight since I don’t work until Sunday morning.
Of course I also have to get a new battery for my UPS as it up and died last night.

Bullshit
I am glad that I no longer work at the Riverside, when I went to pick up last weeks paycheck I also got a notice that there was a mandatory meeting for all EDR workers @ 2PM.
Once again they show that they don’t give a shit about the graveyard employees needs by scheduling a meeting during the middle of the “night” for us, it would be like scheduling the meeting @ 2AM for the other shifts.
For me it would even be worse since I would have had to get up at 1PM to get there on time and also waste gas for the drive.
But since I don’t work there any more, I don’t care anymore.

Riverside Resort & Casino
The Riverside is probably one of the worst places to work in the Laughlin area, it has the lowest wages of any casino in existence and begrudges any money they do give you.
I pity anyone who has to work the graveyard shift as they seem to thing we are subhuman and do not need decent looking and good tasting food either, it is always stuff that has been sitting in the warmers for 5-8 hours before they bother to send it down to us.
Management could care less about the employees and would rather count their bonuses than actually improve the working conditions or food quality. They buy the cheapest quality product they can and then expect us to turn it into decent food. What usually happens is something that a pig would not even eat.
The method of cooking for the buffet is ridiculous, they cook all the food at the same time and then put it into a warmer until they need it or it gets sent down to the EDR. They need to learn how to cook in small batches so that the food is always fresh and appealing. They also need to figure out what the public want to eat as they have items that only a very small percentage of people ever eat.
I always wonder what would happen if the entire graveyard crew called off on one night, would the other shifts finally understand how much we do at night.
Nope, they just take us for granted!!
