    Welp as almost none of you know - it has been an absolute struggle finding a job since graduating last May. I have been applying EVERYWHERE (although looking back I have probably been applying out of my experience range) and haven't had any luck so I have been serving tables since June. Well I heard back yesterday and received my first offer letter to become a private investigator.

    It's obviously not what I went to school for but it'll be a great resume builder for me (my ultimate goal is to go into federal law enforcement). Between all the bills that I need to pay and there being no consistent income in the service industry, this is a huge relief. I'll have a steady income, with health, vision, and dental benefits.

    Also, Sixers tickets have been so cheap that I've been able to see 4 games so far this season (huge win last night!) and my father just got me courtside seats to see them play OKC at the end of the month.

    Also just won 1500 in A.C. playing craps last Saturday! (I had no business being there, brought 50 bucks with me but was down for my friends birthday).

    Literally happiest/ most relieved I have been in 8-9 months. Had to share.

    it was pretty steady until this 80 year old stepped up and rolled for 45 min. was playing pretty small until i bought the 4-10 and was pressing every hit. Had a 3 dollar fire bet that hit 5 points so that helped too. I looked up and saw it was 6am and realized it was incredibly late and needed to be at work in like 3 hours so i left on top - something i rarely ever do.
