Thou shalt not gamble

Just got back from the sweatshop. It's getting worse, mainly because of the sheer amount of stuff that gets put on my machine. Last week I had 437,000+ envelopes to do (to give you an idea, each wad you pick up, straighten out, squash, check, replace crap envelopes, then pack, consists of 200 envelopes). It took a VERY long time. This week I have an order for 1.5 million. Who actually needs 1.5 million envelopes? Is it a ratio of one pixel per envelope or something? Gah. I don't mind hard work either, but this just so dull. Yet necessary I suppose.

You know when you're daydreaming, images float into your head, be it a naked woman or a dead vegetarian. Mine are envelopes. Conveyor belts of envelopes. I have also found out that whenever I get post, I'm more interested in the envelope rather than the contents, examining it and thinking to myself "Is this packable?." Haha, god someone help me.

Finance is getting better, obviously still in debt due to this bastard rent, but better nonetheless. I decided to take out my stars winnings which were small ($112.78) as wasn't getting many hands in due to tiredness/gym/ wife. Yesterday though me and a couple of friends were driving around and one suggested we pay a visit to the casino as he wanted to join to get a free tenner bet. There wasn't any poker on so I told myself I wasn't going to play ( I don't play roulette or blackjack) and then while they were having fun on the roulette tables, I sat down next to a guy who I'd played football with for about 7 years. Fancy that. He was pissing around on the brag tables so I thought fuck it and got 20 quids worth of chips. I then hit a straight flush, and a few straights to leave me at £115 profit at the end of the night. I ran stupidly well, almost Isaac like (but not quite :p). For minimum stakes that wasn't bad, but Everyone else around was dropping hundreds and I just thought to myself don't dare come back for more as I'll swing harder than Klitschko. I vow never to play that game again, but being drunk or something similiar it probably won't happen.

Next debt to pay off= College bill.
