SO I drive an hour and 15 minutes to Winstar casino in Oklahoma to play some poker. I get my chips and get ready to play. I get 12 hands in and then call back to Dallas to take the day off. Low and behold, this is the one Tuesday in the last 7 years that Ive worked in this offivce when I cant get the day off. We have 6 detectives on my shift and 4 of them have already taken off ON A TUESDAY. I cant remember that EVER happeneing before.
If I thought there was even a remote possibility that I couldnt get off, then obviously I wouldve checked first.
So I had to turn right around and drive back to Dallas and go to work.
The one bright side was that I was +$200 in those 12 hands (of which I played 2).
