I R Busto! ( And Bonus Career summary!)

zooey · #1 09-30-2006, 04:19 PM

This will have to be short. My freind is coming to pick me up in a few minutes from a nice apt I can no longer afford, piling some boxes into her car so I can live with her and her husband for a month or two, and my landlady is screaming at me for not giving notice and for leaving the place a dump.

But its a beautiful fall afternoon.

Career highlights:

* 6 years without Job, most of time making more than I did in the Engineering job I walked on.

* played poker in dozens of cities, including Amsterdam

* Barred from Blackjack from over 20 properties. Got picked up last time by face recognition software before I could bet. (And yes, I understand that being able to play unmolested is a greater achievement, but I'm a white geek who wears glasses, what can I do?)

Lowlights:

* Never getting my BR over 35K; Only got to play 50-100 once and 30-60 and 40-80 a handful of times.

* Loving the Craps Table. (I got two good 1st hand TJ stories!)

* And most of all, deciding to spend a good fraction of my BR on a "go back to school and getting my PHD" project. "I can always build it back up!" LOLOLOLOL

But wouldn't change a minute of it. See yall on the 1-2 WPX tables. (If A&B let me use their computer while they're at work.) Gotta go!

Best wishes,

Zooey

This does sound like a legitimate use of the word BUSTO, though. I'm proud of you zooey.

So what's the highest you actually built your BR up to, and how'd you blow it?

being forced to give up your appartment because you cant afford it any more sounds like the purest form of busto to me.
