So the trip to Lake Charles seemed to have gone well. En route to the casino we encountered some severe weather and we were forced to pull over. Of course, while we were in the middle of the storm, the directors called me on my cell to let me know that there would be a letter with the exact agenda waiting for me in my room and inviting me to eat wherever I wanted and to charge the food on my room.
When we got there, the first thing I did was search the room for the letter. It wasn't there. I called the front desk to ask about it and they had no record of the letter. I had them call the F&B supervisor on duty to see if they knew anything about it. After waiting 45 minutes (he quoted me a 7-8 minute wait time) he came back with no information.
Instead of stressing over it, we went to the casino and lost about $300. But we had a helluva good time doing it so it wasn't too bad. Then we went to the 24-hour cafe for dinner. The service left something to be desired but the food was decent. When we were ready to close out it took a little longer than I liked for him to bring the bill. Then there was a glitch in the computer system. We couldn't charge the bill to our room. The computer said that our room didn't have charging pirvaleges. Unfortunately since I didn't have the letter I couldn't aruge the fact. Not that it mattered really, but we could have saved $55! The same thing happened the next morning when I ordered room service for breakfast. $16.75 for a bowl of fruit and some apple juice. And they were out of bagels. I was sad.
Anyway, a little after 10AM I get a call to the room from the directors wondering why I wasn't at the front desk to meet them. Apparently the shitty F&B supervisor I spoke with did not email them as promised to let them know that I didn't get the letter. Jack ass. Luckily I assumed that they would want to start at 9 so I was ready to go already. By the time I got down, they had located the letter and were furious that whomever was supposed to get it to me did not. We began our tour of the property.
Let me just say that the difference between Boomtown and L'Auberge is night and day. Boomtown is "where the locals play and win" whereas L'Auberge is a large resort with 6 restaurants, over 4,000 square feet of gaming area, a 1,000 room hotel, heated pools, a lazy river and 6 stores.
After the tour was finished, I had to sit down and interview with the hiring supervisor at the property. This interview seemed to go very well. Then I had lunch with the two directors and the F&B Training Manager. I'm pretty sure this was another interview even though they weren't taking any notes. I had a little break for about an hour and a half so I got to hang out with TIm again in the casino. I think we left about even this time. Then on to the F&B managers' meeting where I met the majority of the management staff in F&B. I stayed for most of the meeting. Enough time to answer a few questions about the turn-over rate and things of that nature in my department at my property. When the director walked me back to the front desk he told me that he would be calling me the next day (Saturday) around mid-day and let me know either way.
Today was Monday. Still no phone call. If their answer is no, I would have appreciated at least a courtesy call so I'm not hanging on. I will give them until the end of this week then I am going to send them an email asking for an answer.

4) Label which you would marry, shag, and throw off a cliff.
She gave me: Andy Botwin, Paul Ballard and Greg House
The obvious choice for marriage is Greg House.
Who doesn't love his sarcasm and complete lack of consideration for what people think about him or his actions? There are so many Tim-like qualiities in Gregory House that it would feel wrong to have picked anyone but him to marry! I love his renegade ass-hole qualities. Deep down inside, he is really a big ole softy. That's why he tries so hard to save every patient.
My choice for who I would sleep with is Andy Botwin.
He is exactly like almost everyone I was with before Timothy. He is irresponsible, immature, on drugs and incredibally hot! I bet he's good in bed too. He definitely falls into the one-night-stand category but I could see us having a temporary fling that would last between a few weeks and several months.
I would throw Paul Ballard off of a cliff.
Not that he is not attractive and kind. He's also very annoying. I need more attention than he would be able to give me. He probably would have been the screwable one if not for Andy Botwin. Had he been up against someone like Doug Wilson instead of Andy Botwin, he would have been spared the cliff!
