don't put a bag of quarters in your "carry on"......

....unless you want to spend time getting searched in the security line. the inspector said that i should put them in my checked luggage the next time, and i told him that i was pretty sure those quarters wouldn't be comin' back with me.

i should have just marched into the casino, gone straight back to the "cage" and handed them my sad little ziplock bag directly. but instead, i indulged in a bit of video poker, blackjack and wheel of fortune, and this allowed me to rack up a few points on my "south point casino club member card." i've never had one of these cards in my life!!! now they will know everything about my gambling habits - how quickly i press the buttons, how quickly i put money in, how much money i put in, and how many times i ultimately smack the machine.

there was no life changing gambling experience so i still need to find work. today (in between packing boxes) i sent out several e-mails to various consultants and outside vendors i've worked with just to let them know what was happening. basically, i told them i didn't even know what was happening, but that i would keep them posted.

technically, i'm still using vacation days. so i choose to think that i'm still on vacation.
