Day 60 on ship
I just finished work and it's past midnight. Those sea days are so freakin' exhausting.
Because I was late shift, like starting work at 13:00 pm and ending whenever the players decide to leave (which in this cruise is after midnight) every day is the same, I just work and sleep.
Oh, but the great things that are happening... funny ones, of course.
Today one of the couples on ship was playing roulette and I was focused on the game, not to make mistakes. So... he was playing with yellow and she was playing with green. But he kept on winning and she was loosing all she had. In order for him to help her, he asked me to change 20 of his yellow colored cash chips into greens. That was exactly what he said. Greens. And we say greens to 25 $ chips. So that was all I was thinking.”He wants greens, he wants greens...” So I take the stack of 20s, cut and prove them, take 4 chips by 25$, turn for the supervisor and scream: “Hundred color change”
She started laughing like crazy; imagine: I was changing 20$ for 100$.
Another funny story from roulette (because on blackjack I'm too focused to not make any mistakes):
my lovely brother was standing near me and omg, I get really nervous and shaky whenever he's around. One or two players at the table, winning number 21. Only one split on the number (split pays 17$). In my mind was “21.. 21.... 21... 21...” So I take a stack of 20s and 1 chip and call the supervisor “21 payout!!” Again, she laughed her eyes out when she saw what I was doing.
But I also have good days here, when I'm not doing any mistakes. Then, I have days when I feel like I don't know how to count.
Anyway, tomorrow is the last sea day (thank God!) and I was pretty excited to go out in the U.S. but apparently I'm not going to be allowed to go out in there, but only in non U.S. ports like Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Half Moon Cay, etc. This sucks.
I'll keep you posted, I'll go to sleep now.
Write back sometime ;)
