I’m sorry that I haven’t written in awhile but I’ve had a lot on my mind and have made some very big decisions in the past week.  I will write about that tomorrow or Thursday to keep everyone up to date.  Until then I do need to pass on what I know about the transfers and stuff.

I’ve checked with several of my sources and this is what I’m hearing about Coconut Creek.  Evidently, last year when they did the hiring for Coconut Creek they promised people they would be hired for that property.  I had heard about this at the time but never really believed it.  Evidently I was wrong.  Anyway, all of those people are going to be offered that spot first and I’ve heard they are over staffed with just those people.  I’ve also been told they are only going to open 10 tables which would explain the fact they are overstaffed.  With that being said, it would appear that unless you have been offered the job at Coconut Creek last year, you won’t be getting in there.

That leaves us with the other properties.  There has been a note up at that scheduling office that tells everyone to be on the look out for transfer opportunities to the other properties.  The note says that all transfer opportunities will be posted internally.  I haven’t seen any postings and I look everyday because I’m hoping there will be a posting for poker dealers.

What makes that last paragraph seem utterly pointless is I actually know someone who has already been offered a job in Hollywood and will be transferring next week.  He’s transferring as a full floor but I still never knew that any positions had been posted.  Since I’m not trying to transfer down there I’m not really on top of everything that is going on.

I’m going to quickly address a comment from Jeannie on my post about the Arizona immigration law.  First, I would like to thank you for the intelligent and well thought out comment.  If I have the time I will make a full post but for now let me say this.  I agree with almost everything you say.  Illegal immigration is a huge problem in this country and something needs to be done.  However, this is a federal issue that needs to be addressed by the federal government.  I understand the frustration of states when the feds seem to be averse to taking on a problem that is so obvious.

My problem with the law is the implementation.  The wording of the law makes it legal for an officer to stop someone because they believe the person might be illegal.  This type of wording makes racial profiling legal.  I’m waiting to see whether or not the police use the wording to enforce the law.  They may choose to only ask people for papers when executing a normal stop.  (ie, the example you used about being stopped for speeding.)

Without the authority to grant citizenship it makes it impossible for a state to ratify immigration laws.  Our immigration laws are broken.  You will get no argument from me on that score.  I just believe this is the wrong way to go about trying to enforce the law.

Not for nothing but I use to date a woman that was in this country illegally and she had a driver’s license so I don’t know how that is proof of legal status.

Peace, love and good happiness stuff.

Matt
