I don't think I've written a lick that wasn't on an order pad since I took my GED. Workin' a double tonight. Hope the tips are worth it, because I broke a heel on my good work shoes earlier in the evening.

	I was born in Pahrump. Can't get much lower than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Count your lucky stars you have never been exposed to that lower level of hell. It's all trailer parks. legal whores, and low rent casinos for as far as the eye can see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a regular episode of Sesame Street. So you moved here to get away from legal prostitution? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 03:52 am UTC (link)
	No, I moved here because I liked the prospect of a home without wheels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tips are always worth it on a double. I know a good repair place that'll fix your heel for cheap too. Broke more than my fair share. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Do you know of a good place? I used to go to a place not far from my apartment, but the old geezer retired last fall. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-13 03:46 am UTC (link)
	Yea. It's about 15 minutes off the strip, but it's worth it. He's reasonable and quick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Reasonable and quick - half of what I like in a man. Probably double of what I will like in a guy fixing my shoes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-13 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Men are never reasonable and far too many of 'em are quick. Sad fact of life. The place is at [location] and they're open 7am-7pm so you've got plenty of time to get there before or after your shift, depending on when you usually work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 03:51 am UTC (link)
	Thank you so much. Hopefully, I can get by there after I work this graveyard and before traffic gets too bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good luck! I'm buy there at least once a month. He's great at cleaning stains out of shoes too, if anything like that happens to you too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I learned after my first week that black leather can hide a multitude of sins and stains. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So true. I've got a pair of clear heels that had the misfortune of meeting with a multitude of dyed alcohols. It [...] wasn't pretty. I must've scrubbed them for ages before I gave in and brought them to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 04:07 am UTC (link)
	Clear heels? Like Cinderella? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-13 04:08 am UTC (link)
	I wish. I doubt her's were four inch heels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 04:11 am UTC (link)
	My feet hurt for you. I thought the three inch ones I wear at the Wynn were bad enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-13 04:11 am UTC (link)
	The places I'm working at aren't anywhere near the Wynn. Classy place though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I work the VIP tables. It's not a bad job. I've had worse. Can you say Yo Quiero Taco Bell? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whistleforme 2012-03-13 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Can't say I can. VIP section's fancy. Tips'll definitely be worth it then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as they don't figure out I hear voices in my head and have this weird diary in my apron. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're not looking at your apron, so I think your safe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Try getting them drunk first. Bigger tips usually follow. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 04:33 am UTC (link)
	I find the more cleavage and legs I show, the higher the tips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	packsurvives 2012-03-13 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Yes, back in my food service days, that was usually my tactic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Your got the gams for a short skirt? That's what some blackjack player called them the other night. Made me feel like I was in a gangster movie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	packsurvives 2012-03-13 02:07 pm UTC (link)
	I'll have you know, I look fantastic in a short skirt. Legs for miles. And it's totally possible that that was a real gangster. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	I highly doubt any real gangster worth his salt is from Davenport, Iowa and has a dog named "Pookie." (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Vegas casinos seem to be a lot better at tipping than Seattle cafes, so at least you've got that working in your favor. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	whitandpleasure 2012-03-13 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	I can't argue that point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I worked at Taco Bell in Pahrump. This is a huge step up. But someday, I am going to do something more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, I wanted to be a singer - but there seems to be a lot of girls in Vegas with fewer morals who are willing to do almost anything to get ahead. Maybe I'll go to college one day. Open a business - I could do that. Or maybe I'll be one of those TV weather girls. (Reply to this) (Parent)
