Greetings from Preston.

What's up from North Bend?

How's it going?

The old 98045.

That's right.

It's going fine.

It's going okay.

Yeah.

That's good.

That sounds really positive from you.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm getting a little bit stressed out about money, you know, because it's like, I talked to,

I had to go into the casino, you know, if people don't know, I used to be a valet at the casino

near my house until the shutdown.

And I have, I'm still, I still I still am an employee there, like on standby status or something. Right. And so I have to, I had to go fill out a form to keep my gaming license, uh, still active. Yep. And he was saying, like, we have hours. Like, we, we have hours for you. Like, we need people. Like, if you want to come back, because all the valets are just doing security. They're like auxiliary security guys, you know, doing like temperature checks at the doors and stuff like that. Right. And it's like, it's like what they're paying. COVID that you know of? No. They haven't had any outbreaks among the staff at all.

So they've done a really good job because they're keeping it the law or at least the

recommendation in Washington for retail, which is kind of what they go by, is like 25% capacity.

And the casino is operating at 15% capacity.

So they're going above and beyonds.

But it's like, I don't, it's like the pay, they're paying the valet's security wages, which technically are higher if just you just look at the hourly wage, but the valets get tips.

And so even with that increase in wages, I'd only be making half of what I used to make.
