so one year we had this casino night for the Canadian Shipping Federation. They held it at the Pacific Rim Hotel, in this huge conference room and a large lavish feast full of seafood and unlimited drinks.

I was just sitting there thinking WTF, you know who pays for this shit? THE CUSTOMERs. Everyone here takes a cut per teu (twenty-foot equivalent unit). Everyone and anyone in the business was invited. You got freight forwards, railroad, carriers, etc. Everyone and anyone in the biz.

Of course they couldn't do real gambling so they hired this team of professional casino vendors to simulate the experience. Like a real roulette wheel, blackjack table and even brought in some slots but all played with these inhouse tokkens. The winner of the evening would win "prizes" like ipads, mac's, etc.

Well I had no intention of staying for long, I rather go home and sit with my chihuahuas while listening to smooth jazz. So I took my initial seed money of 50k and bet it all on 1 number in roulette (thinking that ill lose this shit, say I'm busted out and then I get to go home). OF COURSE I HIT THE FUCKING NUMBER. and now I'm up like 1.75 million dollars.

I had to sit there waiting for the rest of these jackasses to either bust or overtake me (none succeded) all the way till 2am in the god damn morning before they handed out prizes. Longest iPad wait of my life (I didn't want a mac at that time... is should have gotten the mac instead). Me being the cheap chinamen, I ain't going to leave a fucking iPad on the table that I won fair and square. But I had to talk to soooo many idiots that night, I wanted to die.

Does this sound fun to you? if so, then professional organizations are for you!!!! if not, don't bother joining these jackasses.

Often there are groups of old men who treat this like a frat and run around showing off their latest acquisitions. AH HERE's my 23 year old wife (he's 65). Ah look at this shinny new rolex I got last winter in Dubai. etc etc. Valet parking is so full of stupid exotics that they moved my camry so far off in the peasant lot that it took 20 minutes to get my car back
