Friday Night

So normally I would wait to write something up after an event, but I’m bored while waiting for a meeting, so let’s do a little warm up first shall we?

My weekend job puts me in contact with the public in general, but also with some pretty interesting coworkers. Most of them are ridiculously younger than me. It’s a bizarre experience. Anyway, one of my friends has reached the end of her Las Vegas experience and has decided to pack it in and move back to Indiana. Kind of a bummer since she was a good person to work with, but not a total shock given her situation. Plus, this was her first big move away from friends and family. At 24 I would have been hard pressed to make that work too. It took me at least 2 tries to get out of the Midwest. Fate is too quirky for me to risk saying that I’ll never go back, so we’ll just leave that for now…

Last weekend I took her out for drinks at where else???? The Peppermill. She loved it. Luckily she was down with the whole lounging vibe rather than clubbing. Now, with her time running out, she wants to go out again tonight. The difference this time is a bigger crowd, probably a club and something we call LBD (Little Black Dress) night. Oy. Not a lot of my favorite things here. Granted, I know I don’t have to go since I technically already had a night out with her. But, soft touch that I am, I am most likely driving tonight. So bring on the Spanx, I guess.

We have tentative plans to go to Red Rock Casino, so at least we aren’t schlepping down to the Strip. I haven’t heard from her yet today, but it wouldn’t surprise me to hear the location change a few times. Whatever. As long as there is breakfast at the end of this night I can put up with a lot.
