With a flourish..another dance

What a wild night, which sped by for the most part, as the music throbbed and my ears rang. Spent at least the first 4 hours of my night parked strategically on the balcony at the new Lounge along with my fellow officers in blue. We are well dressed and very polite bouncers, eyeing the mass party below. I did get my first walk out alone with a buddy tagging along, and the guest was a hoot. He chortled and heehawed up 4 levels in the elevator, laughing so long and hard that the rest of the folks in their with us either smiled or raised their eyebrows high. What set him to snorting? Another guest mentioned how safe he felt with two security officers in the elevator with him...He thought that was hilarious...you had to be there I guess.

I have a lot still to learn, everyday brings new experience. Tonight I walked in the door and was handed a Medical to cover in the first 3 seconds of my shift. Wrote that report up and headed to the lounge for find the might be drunk coverage. I also did supe on the slot pull the last 3 hours. Tomorrow will be another long one as well, but since I do not know when I will be able to be in blue again for 4 days in a row, I am not complaining, it pays well.

Tonight I was given my first evaluation since last September and it was very good. (Mucho Gracias!) I also received a raise that I did not expect to see.(no-you cannot have it back!) And yes..I did my happy dance..several times..lol..and was caught dancing by one of the Poker room managers who started to chuckle as he walked up behind me.

It feels excellent to be working hard and smiling as I go!! I needed this challenge and appreciate the chance to grow. And now..to bed..I'm pooped....zzzz

Hugs to all,
