    Default Counting money last night

    Worked the count room at a casino last night. I was the Supervisor in the count room.

    We counted $141,000 or there abouts.

    This was my first time working at a casino. I found it quite interesting to see how things work "behind the scenes".

    For some reason this reminds me of a scene in the movie "The Town"!

    Other, about the movie: funny how walking in certain parts of Boston and looking around, you see a lot of characters like the ones depicted in the flick. I did, a few months ago, and was laughing my *** off... and was also feeling like looking over my shoulder every so often, just in case...!

    I believe you were $9000 short... So, what gear are you gonna' buy first?

    I once worked in an armored van (not the big truck) that refilled ATM's. They averaged hauling between $80,000 and $120,000 per day. I didn't think the low pay made the risk worthwhile, so I didn't stay long.

    Well it was fun to count such sums, I tell ya!

    These counting machines are swell - they count super fast and accurately too. Although sometimes they would choke on the 20's...
