OK, so I have a couple of reasons why I haven’t been writing. The first is, someone hacked my website and screwed everything up. Some of you will remember a couple of weeks ago you would get some kind of error message; that was because my website was completely screwed. It’s still not right but I think I have it fixed enough to start posting again. I will have the time in the next couple of days to see if I can fix the problem for good and get back to things.
There are several other things that have caused me to stop writing and I’m going to get into them in just a minute. I’m not going to get into them in any depth at the moment because it would be too much to write. However, I’m going to write out some simple, declarative sentences and hope that most of you get the point.
I don’t work at the Hard Rock anymore.
I now live in Desert Hot Springs, CA with OMD.
OMD and I are engaged.
I don’t have a job but will begin looking for one shortly.
Luckily, OMD has a very good job.
We have a beautiful house in a very small town with no furniture.
My furniture will be here by the end of the week and I can’t wait. A tile floor is not nearly as comfortable as it looks.
I just got done driving out here from Tampa and I learned a few things on my long trek across the county. I learned…
… that Oklahoma is the only thing uglier then west Texas.
… that Desert Hot Springs looks a lot like west Texas.
… that I will risk running out of gas in the middle of nowhere instead of buy gas from BP.
… that people in west Texas don’t clean the bathrooms in gas stations.
… that Desert Hot Springs is hot as hell in the daytime but actually very pleasant in the evening. I’m currently sitting on my patio in my underwear typing this and it’s beautiful.
… that Desert Hot Springs looks like hell after the fire’s go out.
… that I really missed OMD.
Now, since I have nothing to do for the next week while I wait for my furniture to be delivered I will finally have the time to put into the website and see if I can fix it. Then I will begin writing again because there is plenty to write about.
I’m thinking of trying to restart the forum for all of the people that still work for the Hard Rock to discuss things since I won’t be writing about them anymore. Let me know in comments if that is something that you would like for me to do.
In the near future I will tell you about my departure from the Hard Rock and my overall impression of them as a company.
I hope everyone is doing well and I will weigh in on what happened before I left and try to keep the information flowing about the new openings.
Peace, love and good happiness stuff.

Matt,
I guess we will wait 7 months for you to tell us about your departure. LOL

Wow, that’s quite a life change since the last time you posted. Can’t wait to read about your departure from the HR, we are preparing for the innundation here in Hollywood.

OK Matt, you’ve been off the radar for 2 1/2 months. You must have something to say other than an interstate hwy. bathroom rating…I’m just sayin’.

Congratulations on the geographical upheaval and new beginning with OMD.
Are you going to apply to the various casinos in the area or try something entirely new?

Wow, thats a lot of changes in just a couple of years. As someone who is still stuck in Vegas, I have been following your blog since you were excited to be making that move out to Florida.
I personally think that is a great area that you have landed in (but your gonna miss all that affordable Florida golf) and have thought about trying to get out there myself. If you plan on getting back into the casino business out there (and I hope for your sake that your not) I would be interested to hear what the casinos are like from a Dealer/Floor perspective and how hard it is to get employed by one right now.
Congrats on the engagement!
Oh, and I think you forgot to mention…
“…. I really miss my Mini Bacc players”
