Welcome to day 4 of this trip report. If you are lost and want to start at the beginning, go HERE.
Work up at Paris on day 4 for yet another shitty shitty shitty shitty shitty day at work. I crawled out of bed to stand online forever for iced coffee. I am exhausted. Because I am exhausted, little tiny insignificant things annoy me. You order coffee at Cafe Belle Madeleine at the register and pick up at a counter near the entrance/exit. But the creams and sugars are all the way back near the cashier. So you order, walk towards the exit to get your coffee, then back to where you just were……I mean this whining is so stupid and dumb and useless. It is not far at all. But exhausted and so many people and “excuse me, excuse me, EXCUSE ME” followed by dirty look by the person who thinks you are an asshole for screamng EXCUSE ME at them. But I had to because you didn’t fucking hear me the first two fucking times. Yargh.
I worked all day without a break. Then once it was time to log off, the work texts began coming in. My manager posted my birthday is this weekend and I have people texting me to wish me a happy one. This is nice, but my phone going off for work related things is really making me anxious. I need a fucking break. Good thing I am off the next five days.
I am starving but spa > food, so off to the spa I go. I got the scalp and foot therapy treatment. It was so good. Added bonus, the poor technician explained that putting oil in my hair meant that my hair would be oily…no shit. She then went on to tell me that a lot of people complain because they somehow don’t realize this. I love people who hate people even though they are not allowed to, so I loved her.
I paid with points and this may be what finally wipes out my Total Rewards points forever. I will never make Diamond this year, I am too far away. I haven’t even made Platinum. It is unfortunate because I love so much the ability to book 5 comped nights in a row. I suppose I will still have that option next year, but I am not paying $40/night in resort fees.
I finally made my way to CVS after being here for a few days. I lost all my money on the way. I might not have if the TITOs were working. They still aren’t because Paris is still replacing their carpeting.
I grabbed a breakfast sandwich for dinner. I had originally wanted to use my Diamond Celebration dinner tonight. I wanted to try Jack Binions Steakhouse, but it is closed on Wednesdays. This means I need to come back after I am done staying here. I don’t want to. But at least I can just walk over from Cosmopolitan later in the trip. Wonderful.
Even though I am off work tomorrow, I am completely exhausted and just want to sleep. So I did. What a waste of a fake Friday night in Las Vegas.
Here’s the few wins I had before putting them all back. Another reason working from Vegas is terrible, I hate my job so I keep putting my losses back so I can win enough to quit. Hey LADY, you aren’t going to do that on Buffalo. At least put it in high limit video poker you stupid LOSER.
And with that thought, good night.

I wonder if you will go to Vegas (or travel other places) once you retire -if you retire….I guess if you put all these blogs together and turn them into a book, you will have more than enough to retire on…
You are so sweet!
When I retire – I want to make sure I am done seeing everything in the US. Maybe I’d spend my last year of work traveling the US and working remote? Then it is giving up my apartment and buying a one way ticket to see the rest of the world.
