Well had one of the longest days of my life yesterday.  Worked from 9-6 at the depot then gym then went north to a poker room and played poker.  I was doing pretty well, not getting many hands but maximizing value.  I was up probably 500$ or so.  I was waiting for a big hand as there were 3 guys there that were drunk, bad, and spewing money.  I didn't get anything, finally after 5 hours I had my chance.  It wasn't against the drunks but against the dude that played super tight and I knew if I could hit something bi he'd overplay his hand.  Well here it was I turned a flush put him all in, he called with one pair, and of course hit a fourth diamond to give him a higher flush.  This was a 600$ pot that if he doesn't hit his 9 outer I win.  I'm pissed but hope I'll still get a chance to bust the drunk tards.  Welp 10 minutes later they leave.  So instead of booking a 800$ win, I leave up around 250$.  It's around 2 AM and I have a meeting at 5.  I toss and turn, sleep basically none and head to the meeting.
Meeting of course is a huge waste of time.  We sit around and act excited and sad that the store is only making 200K a day but were not on plan.  I did get an award so it was cool to get recognized.  I then stumbled around to different classes for stuff I'll never remember.  After that I tried to sleep for an hour before my friend picked me up to go back to the same casino.  We played low stakes for a little bit and pissed some people off.  I lost around 100$ in 2 hours or so playing like an idiot cuz the stakes are so little.
We then bought into the tournament.  He got knocked out early but I made it down to 12.  I played for 4 hours and got knocked out 12 for no money.  Awesome.  The worst part about it the knock out hand.  I had AK and then guy that knocked me out had aces.  So lame as the guy went all in the last 3 hands.
I then went home and tried to get a few hours of sleep  before my show at 8.  I get a call from the promoter at 7 asking if I promoted.  I told him somewhat, meaning I told a few people I knew wouldn't come.  I get there a few minutes late only to see 2 people in the audience and getting told the show was cancelled.  Awesome way to waste my time and make me look like a jackass.  I hung out for awhile then went home.  My buddy met me there.  We drank an adult beverage then headed over to a bar show.  I kinda wanted to go up.  This is rare for me.
We get there and it's the typical bar audience.  Mostly comics and the occaional drunk person.  I did a few things that were possibly frowned upon.  I walked on stage and acted like I was texting during a few comics sets and even got up and mimmed during another.  Looking back it's probably kinda "look at me" douchey, who knows.  I then got on stage and tried to do something new, well that turned into having some banter with a crowd member.  It went on for a few minutes until the  booker basically told me to stop. I didn't really feel like doing a set after that considering I knew the guy was going to keep talking and I wouldn't be allowed to say anything back.  I got off and hung around a little more, the show was interesting.  A bouncer and promoter apologized for telling me to stop but I understand they need to please the crowd.
I left and decided to play a little online poker.  Great idea.  I then lost another 350$.  So after 36 hours of being up.  I went from possibly up 1000$ and doing 2 comedy shows.  To down 350$ and making an ass of myself at one bar show.  Lifes grand...
