    Thank You

    This is kind of a weird thank you, but Wulven gets a really big thanks in a way you won't understand

    Today I was playing SE in the break room, laughing as I was calling cards that my opponent was playing and countering them. A manager got angry and thought I was mocking a customer on the phone. I showed him SE and what I was doing; and he then made me play a bizarre game of poker.

    I won the games (we used fictional money) and then told me that I have an innate ability to count cards and promoted me, a small part-time maintenence worker to a salaried poker and texas hold-em instructor with paid benefits. Not only was he a manager, but he was my work's Central Gaming Manager.

    I feel SE is somewhat responsible and so i want to give a thank you. Yay!!

    Congrats there. I should start playing SE while I'm at work and maybe I can get a promotion too.
