Interview Sexion8

Oct 05, 2006 00:04

Because the wellsprings of creativity have dried up for me 'lo this past week--indeed I have lost the wherewithal to write at all--I'm going to leave it up to you, my esteemed LJ friends, to provide this entry's content. No need to thank me, I am known to demonstrate random acts of unselfishness now and again ( Read more... )

This is going to sound terribly interview-y, but my question is "what jobs have you done?".

* Sales, which lasted half a day before I left on my lunch break and never returned. I was good at talking to people, just not lying to them.

* Keno Runner. Imagine a cocktail waitress, only offering keno tickets instead of drinks. I actually made very good money doing this.

* Food server. Ugh. Just when I thought I'd forgotten the things I've seen in those kitchens...

* Cocktail server. Very good money.

* Bartender. Much better money.

* Payroll executive. OMG, I SAID 'EXECUTIVE'! I'M A SUIT! *sobs* Anyway, it's in a strip club so I feel that excuses me somewhat. Excellent money.

Interesting, and I didn't realise you were in The Vegas... you are in Las Vegas, right?

If I'm not, then somebody better get these drag queens and slot machines out of my grocery store.

LOL :-)

Ooh, and I meant to ask what a Keno Runner is... that's not like a Blade Runner is it? ;-)

If it was, I think I'd be a Keno runner for the rest of my life!

No, Keno runner is someone who walks around calling out "Keno!" while holding a tray filled with blank Keno cards and a money tray.

Customers hold their hand up--kinda like you're in class, "M'aam, need to pee!"--the runner comes over.

If your table doesn't already have a stack of cards for you to fill out, the runner hands you one (or however many you'd like to purchase), you fill it out, hand her the money and off she goes to print it on the computer.

Then she brings it back and wishes you luck.

Then you either win or lose, depending on what kind of crappy day you're having.

Then she comes back to ask if you'd like to play again.

You say no because losing hurt bad enough the first time.

She walks away again, smirking to herself that you lost because you were cheap and didn't tip her.
