I've been in the industry of customer service since I started working when i was 16, (10 years ago). Having a relationship as a "patron" towards a customer, it is usually a positive experience due to my happy, supportive attitude, aside from the handful of people that want to blame their terrible life on you. Yes, this happens. Sometimes, to someone, YOU are the reason they came to the casino, lost their rent, and are now in deep sh*t. COUGH
Now I am being frank, I lost my thought, and where this was headed. I must say I do miss writing. I am very into music. Writing, singing, playing (drums and piano), that is one true passion in my life, along with a few others, Those others would be, being a mother, oh I cannot describe with enough detail how blessed it is to be a mother. Currently, I am raising my daughter on my own, due to certain curcumstances whom her father imposed. It is TOUGH! I thought I was tough, strong, etc for all that I have been through, but being mom and dad, and all that goes along with it is very tough. However, I do love a challenege, and I am embracing this challenge and my daughter with all my heart, and I am absolutely in love with it!
Another passion in my life is POKER. I used to work online, and was paid to play poker, and manage "props". Here is a definition of a prop poker player:
An online poker prop player is a person compensated by the house to help start new tables and to help keep existing games going. Prop players play with their own money and keep their winnings (and are responsible for losses). Pay is generally considerably higher than 100 percent rakeback
I did that for 2 years, and the income was very nice considering I was my own boss and made my own hours. I made about 9 thousand a month. A few years ago, there was a bill passed stating that online poker was considered "online gambling" even though poker is considered a game of skill, with bets not wagered to one company, but to other players. Due to all the drama this new bill caused, many U.S. friendly poker rooms shut down, and we were forced out of business. My brother's sold their online company for a large lump sum to some investors, and they thought at the time they were doing the right thing.
Ok, now i feel like going to the local casino and playing haha. One thing I really enjoy about poker is not the luck factor, anyone can get lucky, but it is the skill involved. I am a numbers person, and I can process data extremely quickly, and I also am a big people reader. I think being involved in customer service all my life, this has added to my skills as "reading a player". ok now poker just gets me going, so let's move onto my other passion in life, SPORTS.
I have been told I "had to been a man in another life". Hahaha, well, idk but I do love me some sports, almost all actually.
Here we go I am going to list them out:
FOOTBALL- NINER'S!!! Laugh it up, I have never been a front runner, nor do I see it in my future. I have loved this team since I knew what Football was, and that would be since 1996.
BASEBALL- GIANTS My father loves this team, and I was raised a Giant's fan. Barry or not, this is my team, and I like'em!
BASKETBALL- LAKERS! I have always been a Laker's fan since I was a fan of basketball. I started being a fan of this sport when i was in 5th grade, and I played on my 1st basketball team. So Laker's fan since age 11.
Hockey- SHARKS The Sharks have had their ups and down, and I will always be a fan, but I must congratulate the Blackhawks for their tremendous effort in winning the Stanley Cup.
GOLF- I have always been Phil Mickelson fan, and always will be. To me, he is a player who plays with his heart on the course, and to me that is IMPRESSIVE!
UFC- From day 1 when I was introduced to Ultimate Fighting, I had my favorite picked out as I always do. My all time favorite fighter is Andre Arlovski. This isn't just because he is extremely hot and into "Vamps" but in my opinion, he took so much into the Octogon with him, it just was mesmerizing.
I think I will conclude this blog right now. Several reasons. Let me know your thoughts, good or bad IDGAF!
Much Love,
Jenny
