What a city... Granted I didn't get to see as much of it as I'd like to have, what with all that work to do and all, but I did get to browse the place a bit and it's quite a place to be. Of course my winnings via gambling have yielded -40 bucks ($20 was my mom's that I was supposed to have hit a jackpot for her) but what do you expect? It's a casino. I got a deck of hooker cards that were handed out to me in my brief escapade with my co-workers in the strip. Other than that there's really not much to tell, I was working most of the time. On the plus side the event my company was holding turned out to be a huge success. Of course some things went wrong here and there, but by the end of the day everything was fixed and everything that was supposed to happen happened and went over well. And to make things that much better, from what we'd heard our competitions event (which happened a week before ours) turned out poorly. Killer. I wish I had something more interesting to say, but unless you want me to describe how you retain your sanity while sitting in front of a computer for 12 hours, not much else to say. City looks great at night.

Whatever you do, don't eat limes. A friend of mine ate a lime once and BAM!! Two years later. Herpes.

How DO you retain your sanity sitting in front of a computer for 12 hours?

I'll tell you how I do it...the way our forefathers did it. Porn and beer! :D

Good to hear it all went well. At least it was only -$40. It couldve been worse! Good to see you don't have a gambling problem.

That's what I do pretty much every day.

Music and hot tea help.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I loved it there, but for a week with all expenses paid? I didn't really see any room for complaining. Any of you hear of Apollo the pickpocket? We saw his performance there which was pretty cool.

Well, he pretty much stole things right out of various peoples' pockets. The primary trick is his pickpocketting, which he usually gets away with by distracting everyone (or as he put it, making them forget what he does). Be it crafty little card tricks, intense mathmatical equations, or some other trick of the trade, his victims pretty much start looking at what he's looking at then behind the victim he raises his hand with their wallet or whatever in his hand. He'd taken the watch right off one of my board members' wrist. Of course he gave everything back, but it was entertaining to see.
