welcome to emily

So. this is me. i live in las vegas, im 23, im a cocktail waitress. all of this is not as glamorous as it sounds. vegas, when you live here is just like any other city. only less safe, more roaches, and there are slot machines in the bathrooms at gas stations. there are slot machines everywhere. anyone who's ever flown in has seen the mini screened in casinos by the gates. and people actually gamble there. losing their money before they can even get checked into their hotels. and i dont cocktail somewhere on the strip. i dont even work at one of the big local casinos that line the main roads here. i work at a tiny little locals casino that attracts mostly old people and rednecks. the thing is that its perfect for my training. and i like that the other cocktail waitresses are older. one of them sweats profusely and wears a knee brace. the head cocktail waitress is about 40 and wears her hair in the 80's style helmet and dyes it a flaming red never found in nature. it is a color that shouldnt be found in nature. compared to the others im pretty hot. i work the graveyard shift cause im low gal on the totem pole. graveyard is 1 am to 9 am by 6 am theres pretty much no one in the place. so i talk to my bartenders and stand there with my shoes off. im tall and have always been in the habit of wearing flats, otherwise i tower over any guys that might come a callin', and the heels kill my feet.
i like vegas though. which is good because i moved here from pittsburgh pretty much on a whim.
