starting over

Dec 28 9 of Cups

2011-12-28T04:39:00.000-08:00

The wishes come true card! The problem is, you have to watch what you wish for. I have a feeling something is going to manifest today, but I'm going to watch my wishes anyway.

Dec 27 The Page of Wands

2011-12-28T04:37:00.000-08:00

I like getting my court cards, it's like seeing the faces of people I know. Some I like more than others, but they all give good advice. Today's Page always tries to bring me new experiences and opportunities, which I love. Yesterday LN and I spent the afternoon learning how to set up users and permissions, preparatory to setting up hierarchies. I took notes, he did not. Will I set up the hierarchy? I will not. But I will help him.New desks Jan 4 or so. If LN thinks I'm moving frickin' furniture he's got another think coming. Either way, I think we're out on Jan 9 for sure. So exciting!BGH plans: Possible sports bar at pool level; have quiet "meet and talk" lounge on main floor. Good ideas both, but in summer people expect bands. No employees, ever, drinking. Good luck keeping track of who is, and isn't currently an employee but NOT MY PROBLEM. Changing menu, higher prices in Chinook. Locals will bitch and stay away in droves...which could be part of the plan.Has hand-chosen Controller, Resort Ops, IT. So he will be the eye in the sky, manipulate the money however he wants, and have a to-the-death loyal lieutenant. Look out. Must remember to give this insight to Pampam.Can't wait to see what arrangements at golf course - will he pander to locals? Doubt it. Interested to see how he handles gift shop/golf shop inventories. Will Ryan be smart enough to "gift" him?

Dec 21 The Queen of Cups reversed

It's Nate's birthday, and I discharged my MIL duty - check!
My feelings about the Queen are that today could be a day of emotional storms - probably not for me since my mantra is "I don't give a shit", but lots of the folk around me are feeling stressed for one reason or another so I'll try not to push any buttons.
"A woman may be feeling hurt and put-upon, becoming untrustworthy. Loving energy turns to anger" Watch the sharing.

Dec 20 The Fool reversed

2011-12-20T08:30:00.000-08:00

Okay, today is a day for no ill-advised ideas!

Dec 19 The 6 of Swords

2011-12-19T07:35:00.001-08:00

There has been trouble, turmoil, upset, but I'm heading to safety and smooth waters. I need to pick my way amongst the obstacles and dangerous bits, but I have resources in the form of my sturdy boat, and good steady help in the form of my boatman. I am not alone.

Dec 17: The Queen of Swords

2011-12-17T07:39:00.000-08:00

My card! Not to disparage the other lovely queens, but they ain't me. However, drawing this card is a reminder to guard my sharp tongue today. I'll be at a celebration of life, and surrounded by Not My People. I'll have my phone charged up, and a deck of cards in my pocket but I don't need tarot cards to tell me my husband will want to stay 2 hours longer than I will. Sigh.
Yesterday was a complete and total bust of a day. Little Numbnuts is so lost, and while I will help, I will not enable.
I must admit I'm looking forward to sailing off into the sunset, and leaving Wizard Girl holding the bag. Good luck, ladies.

December 16 Queen of Coins reversed

2011-12-16T05:19:00.000-08:00

Pay attention to home. Don't spend too much time or energy on "outside" things. Focus on the things you enjoy (at work as well as home). Today I'll go through the filing cabinet and snag out the paper PO's for things I think we'll be buying at IHC and throw them into a file. I'll make lists and set up a binder of things to think about by department -

slots

player tracking

table games

security

snack bar

restaurant

accounting

administration

marketing

human resources

surveillance

commission

incoming mail

outgoing mail

incoming packages

outgoing packages

I DO so love to organize.

I also want to have Pam pull a card for end of 2011/start of 2012.

Dec 14 - the 7 of Swords reversed

2011-12-14T06:45:00.000-08:00

It's funny how some people see the man sneaking into the room - the leaves are on the outside, it's obvious he has stolen some of the swords (only the ones he can carry) and he is making his escape. He's not out of it yet, though, the bird could easily make a fuss and draw people to see what's going on, like a dog barking. This card is about deception; having something taken from you; being a sneak. The reverse means: if you do it, you will be caught.

You can't help it if something you did in the past is revealed today, though.

And it will be interesting to see if this behavior is revealed as coming at me, as well.

It's still cards...

Per DonnaLeigh (at Donnaleigh.com) the exercise was to draw one card to get guidance on answering 5 questions about the year that is passing, and the one that approaches. You are supposed to use the imagery on the card, what strikes your eye first, and use that imagery. I drew the 4 of Swords.

1. What did you learn this year? I saw the window; at first I thought about the light at the end of the tunnel but now I think it's "one door closes and another opens". But I like the light at the end of the tunnel as well.

2. What are you glad to release? I saw the black bird; negativity and fear is what I feel he represents. This has been a tough year, but Chuck and I have thrived and survived, had a little fun, gone through some changes. And it's all been good, eventually.

3. What do I look forward to? I saw the flowers; to me those are the positive things, the gifts, the hours and days I will enjoy for whatever reason. It smells good; it's pretty; it makes me laugh. I promise to enjoy "joy" more next year.

4. What are the lessons of the coming year? I saw the man; he is resting and at first I thought it was to take care of myself but now I'm starting to think it's to appreciate my people more. I promise to let the people I value know that I do.

5. What do I need to do to prepare? I saw the swords; but the swords are points-down so I don't think I'm going to have battles. I think it's to stay sharp, keep striving. Mental energy in stasis.

I tried it all-

2009-08-19T12:47:00.000-07:00

I played ring games, single-table sngs, multi-table sngs, and big sloppy shovefests. I lost at all of them. If it hadn't been for the fact I was also losing on Full Tilt, my losses on PokerStars would have been bigger so I guess that's a blessing.
If I need to pay up just let me know where, and to whom! (I'm hoping that with this competition being over the Doom Switch will now be turned OFF)
