I had a dream last night that convinced me to stay.
SBR summoned me to their headquarters, I really didn't want to go, but Shari said she would make it worth my while, so I accepted. So SBR sent their private jet, picked me up and next thing I know I am standing in front of the SBR gods.
"OK, I'm here. What's this all about?" I said, in front of 5 SBR big wigs...including Shari. A huge booming voice spoke saying "There are rumors that you are planning on leaving SBR." That voice was very intimidating, and I meekly responded "Well I was thinking about it because of the treatment I received from Shari." The booming voice then said "We can't have that CS4, you generate a lot of traffic, and views to SBR, you are definitely an asset to SBR, and we can't have you leaving." Well that picked up my confidence real quick! I responded "Well what can be done to correct this situation?" The booming voice responded "What are your wishes?" I said "Obviously I want the 1000 points that were stolen from me returned. I also want the mustache badge that was promised to me by Shari a while back. SBR Black Jack must be changed to a setting where I actually have a chance, and a guarantee that any pair dealt to me in SBR Poker over 10's, results in a win for me." The booming voice just cracked...a very nervous higher pitch voice responded..."Let's break for lunch and see what we can do."
Next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of a huge spread of food with dozens of SBR workers, I was digging in to eat and Jonelyn comes up behind me and says "CS4, I hope this goes well for you, I'm really looking forward to saying your name a lot on my Winners and Losers Report. I replied "Hopefully, more for winning than losing." She laughed, and said "Of course, it would give me great pleasure to mention your name on a daily basis." I gave her a hug and said "I hope these negotiations go well."
After lunch, I am back in the room with the SBR gods. Instead of being greeted by the booming voice, I hear Shari, "CS4, my ignorant actions have caused much distress here at SBR, is there anything I can do to have you forgive me?" I paused, waited a few seconds, and before I could speak, Shari said, "and I do mean ANYTHING." Well being the great carsalesman that I am, I have definitely heard this before. I responded "Calm down Shari, I forgive you, but all I want is my 1000 points back, a mustache badge, and let me pay back my loan to yisman on my terms." Shari turned around back to the SBR gods waiting for a response, I straightened up in anticipation, then the booming voice said "As long as you don't leave SBR, you requests have been granted."
That is when I woke up...as they say in the SBR Casino "Where Dreams Come True"
I sure hope so.
