	Wait, its a casino and they're only now starting blackjack tables? I guess not everyone has casinos like Vegas. Friday the 13th always comes and goes for me, nothing special about it. Just one of those dates that people like to bring up since its a pop culture topic. I know it sucks working extra days. I did it a few times to cover people when I worked at Ashley Furniture. But sure makes for a nice paycheck. I think my highest check was around 112 hours for 2 weeks. ____________________

	Nope. They had to pass a bill to allow it and it finally passed. So in November they're going to start making more restaurants and make the place a lot bigger. Plus we might get a hotel. Thankfully the Indians own the land across the street as well. Also, woke up with a headache. ____________________

Maybe you could move to one of the new restaurants when they open up. I know you're current one isn't your favorite place to work, haha. Originally posted by Anya Also, woke up with a headache. Aww, bummer. Be sure to take something for it. The worst thing you can do is not take something. They stick around all day if you don't. ____________________

Anya: Wonder if people are already starting to have bad luck at the blackjack tables, huh? =P

I never was really a believer of superstitions like black cats or Friday the 13th, tbh...

	Loosing in the casino is bad for us. By the time they want to eat, they don't tip and are very mean. I love working pizza but I NEVER get tips, unlike when I'm in pantry. One of the reasons why I want to try pasta. Mad tips there. ____________________

	Originally posted by Anya Losing in the casino is bad for us. By the time they want to eat, they don't tip and are very mean. It could be the opposite, as well. They win and become generous tippers. But that happens a lot less often... edit: check out Engadget. Almost every news article picture has Jason in it. ____________________

Hopy shit, I didn't even realize it was Friday the 13th!

Thankfully, I've never really had worse luck on days like this.

Passed away.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

I remember having found an old Internet friend after over 1.5 years on a Friday the 13th in August 2004. I think she later committed suicide, though

And yeah, with all the superstition surrounding gambling, I wonder if you'd get fewer people. Or more because they now can play blackjack

I like blackjack, I've played it at the casinos in Canada a few times. My mom hates it, though.

Orlandu: AFAIK, no state is as liberal about gambling as Nevada is

Most other states that have it restrict something like locations, possible games, and/or only allow Native Americans to run casinos.

Today's my sister's 30th birthday. Even more crazy was that her 13th birthday was also on Friday the 13th. She didn't like Friday the 13th movies though, so she watched Nightmare on Elm Street instead.

Still. Best birthday.

The past few days have been bad for me, not just today.

Actually, I'd probably guess today's just very slightly better than the last two. I'm not the type to chalk it up to superstitions, though.

My girlfriend is always excited when her birthday falls on a Friday the 13th... the last time it happened was 2008, and it'll happen again in 2014 (her 30th birthday, and it's even a full moon) =)

Today turned out to be one of the best days I've had in a while. It started off horribly but ended with an incredible video game find at a thrift store

Not bad for me, either. My netbook's just as functional as before, even if I ahve to be slightly more temperature-conscious.

I've been seeing a few more bugs today, but that's... the usual for my room, I'm not surprised.

Today was a very nice day, I can't really say anything bad happened... It was pretty average, I guess...

I didn't even know it was Friday the 13th until right now. Oh well
