Busy night

A busy night, with lots of learning about different situations and how to handle them. I got to work a little on the report side of things as well. For a while there it seemed like the whole night would be filled with Walk outs, but things settled down around 3am. I hope I can get the paperwork side of that has been on hold completed soon, so I feel more secure about keeping the job. I think I can do the job itself, the reports should not be a problem, I have plenty of experience documenting events. And dealing with the patrons who have to leave is something that I will have to develop a style for, and take each situation as it comes when it comes to personalities. The stalemate? It is my finances that are again holding up the works. Sigh....this is getting so frustrating.

I cannot really discuss details of the events that happen at work, there is the issue of confidentiality to uphold. It's like HIPA and medical work, privacy is important. I can tell you my night started with an intoxicated patron, followed by a verbal altercation that led to other problems with how to get someone home. People will be people, no matter if they are eating in a restaurant, reporting an accident, having too much to drink, or arguing over money. The difference is that the casino has state laws that it has to abide by, that have been written for the customers protection, even if they don't appreciate how it effects them.

Just about bedtime for me, it is going on 10 am now, weird, I know. Gilly is pouting mightily, he really is not adapting to my schedule change very well. Lots of complaints when I start to suit up for work, happy greetings when I get home, and an large amount of sad cat.

I saw 3 cats last night, obviously feral. One was crossing the street as I was leaving for work. I stopped the car, he stopped, and we talked...lol..well I did and he listened. " Be careful kitty". I saw another barn cat, might be related to Raz as I was walking from the parking lot in the dark. I said hello, he stopped to listen. And lastly as I was leaving another barn cat was making his rounds. It is a busy road that runs past the casino, especially in the early mornings and evenings. I can't help it, even though they are not my cats, I worry about all animals living without a home. Especially those that look like they could use meals, it just makes me want to do more.

It also makes me a little teary, remembering furry kids that I cannot even see anymore. I cannot write and ask, since my email is trashed before opening. I really would like a Jasper hug once in a while. Gilly and I both miss the others a great deal, and it's not getting easier. Distance and time just brings sadness. The humans there I do not give a S**t about, the cats are in my heart.

Have a good one,
