| Topic | My coworker is annoying. |
| bigblu89 07/19/21 2:17:57 PM #2 | I'm really close to the end of my rope with some of my co-workers as well. I work at a (relatively) small, family run business (not my family). There's 24 employees total split between the warehouse and the office. Problem is, the family members (9 of the 24 employees are related) tend to bring home conversations/arguments into work, creating a very awkward work environment. To add, I'm the youngest in the office by at least a decade, and there's one guy that likes to pretend we're the same age even though he's about 15 years older than me. He basically asks me every day what I watched the night before, and whatever TV show or movie it was, he'll watch it that night so we can talk about it the next day. He's a divorcee living alone, and other than when he facetimes his daughter, he literally spends his nights smoking pot and watching tv, so all he does is talk during the day. It's enough to drive a man insane. Only thing keeping me here is that fact that I'm literally the only person here that knows how to do my job (the person I learned from retired) so every time I threaten to quit, my boss gives me a raise to stay. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |

| Topic | Going to Vegas for my anniversary, black jack advice? |
| bigblu89 07/15/21 2:05:37 PM #15 | theAteam posted... Why do other people at the table get mad at people that make bad blackjack moves? Genuine question as I've never played it but isn't it basically everyone vs. the dealer? Wouldn't each player make no difference?Basically, because there's more cards valued at 10, there's a better chance the dealer busts if there's more cards left in the "shoe". The more cards in the shoe, the more 10's in the shoe. In theory. You always assume the dealer's "down" card is a 10, so if a dealer is showing anything under 7, you have to assume they will need to hit, and (hopefully) pull a 10 or face card and cause himself to bust. If you take a card when you're "supposed" to stay, there's potential to take that 10 from the dealer. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |
| Topic | Going to Vegas for my anniversary, black jack advice? |
| bigblu89 07/15/21 1:59:55 PM #10 | The basics: Stand when your hand is 12-16 when the dealer has 2-6. Hit when your hand is 12-16 when the dealer has 7-Ace Always split Aces and 8s Double 11 versus the dealer's 2-10 Hit or double Aces-6 And my personal rules: Try you best to sit in the "last" seat (the one closest to the dealer's right) - you see the most card on the table that way, and get a better idea of what's left in the shoe. Sit down with a certain number that you're willing to lose, and don't go past that. I personally sit down with the plan to either double my chips, or lose half my chips. Walk away when either of those happen, take a 30-60 minute break, then go sit back down. --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. |
