Beating the System

So...where were we?

As we've discussed I've been laid off. It sucks...period. But, I just found out that I do qualify for unemployment. I also found out that I'll be making $10 less per week in my unemployment than I did at my job. God Bless America! So, that'll help in the new job search. I had such a hard time when I was looking for a job last time. We had very little money, and I couldn't find anything. Now, I dont' have to worry about not having any money at all while I look for my future career. Which is, I have to say, a total bonus!

My grandma is in town. She moved down to Louisville to live with my aunt a few years ago. Well, she and my aunt are in town for the weekend to "visit". Which means, my Aunt is in town to visit, and my Grandma is in town so she can go to the Casino. So, my Mom, Aunt, Grandma, Angie and I all went to the gambling boat today. Angie and I have never been to a casino. So, we go in and my mom gives Angie and I $2...we were just playing the penny slots anyway. So, I burn thru that pretty quickly. Mom gives each of us $10. There was a "betting malfunction" and half of my money was lost on 2 bets...not awesome. And, the rest of it was lost with terrible "luck". So, I hate the casino. So, we attempt to leave and we all go to Grandma who tells gives us all $10 bucks and basically just waves us all off to leave her alone. So, Angie and I go back to the gambling. At the end of the day we had $35. That should tell you how good we are at the gambling! I'm not going to say we "worked" the casino...but, we went in with nothing, came up with $35. Just so you all know that's probably like a 350% increase in the money from the day.

We're awesome.

The End.
