Mr. Sandman straight-up darted me
15 years ago
Just finished an absolutely horrible work week at the casino. Holiday weekends are absolute nightmares at casinos because they are absolute zoos during holidays. Sunday night I was dealing Baccarat and had 30 players on my game, and long gone are the days of the Italian gentlemen's game of Bacc. The people who regularly play it now are complete animals. Within one hour, I had 2 fights break out on my table. The first fight was between two little old Chinese ladies fighting over money, and they started swinging their giant Coach purses at each other and walloping the hell out of one another. The second fight erupted between 2 men not even 20 minutes afterwards over whose was whose money. When you have 40 people all betting on the same table and all stacking their money on top of one another, fights like this break out quite often over whose is whose money. And I just sit there and hope that my migraine medication is working. The whole damn weekend was like that.
So come Thursday, I was deadbeat, and finished both jobs and got home at about 7 am. At 8 am I sat down to work on commissions. When I do, I usually put on a loooooonnnnnngggg movie so that I can't take a break from drawing until the movie is over. So I chose "The Godfather." Okay, I put this movie on about 8 am. I suddenly WAKE UP and look at the clock and it's 10 PM. Bloody hell. The last scene I remember is the wedding. THAT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE. I didn't even make it through the wedding before passing out!!!??? So not only did I get NOTHING done, but I slept through a very important doctor's appointment. Plus, I had other errands I was supposed to do, like go to the bank and to the DMV.
Apparently, I REALLY needed sleep, but I HATE IT when I lose an entire day like that. Now today is crunch time because I go back to work tomorrow, so I gottta rush to get as much shit done as possible today, and I hate rushing around. I was hoping to have some full-color work posted today, but looks like that's not going to happen now, since I lost ALL OF YESTERDAY. At the most, I'm only going to have character studies, most of them which I can't even post, because they are for 100% private commissions that aren't to be shared online.
Oh well, off I go to try and get as much as done as one can!

Part of why really, I hate causing a ruckus in any kind of service-oriented place...I've BEEN on the other side of the counter, and I don't wanna' make some other poor soul's day that much worse.
