The giant annual convention was in Sin City this year, so I had to attend! I have only been to America’s Playground once before, plus I had the time of my life.
- I do not have the world’s most exciting job – I sell mattresses plus beds.
Mattress salespeople are the modern afternoon version of used automobile dealers, hustling to make every sale. This year’s convention was of identifiable importance, because it was based around fighting back against online sales. I lose a lot of my sales to online vendors, plus it’s actually splitting into my bottom line, so I thought I could learn a few things. If I’m being honest, the main reasons I was enthusiastic were for legal cannabis plus gambling… Both gambling plus cannabis are illegal in my state, so this convention would be a prime pick to split loose plus have fun. All of the major conference meetings were held in the morning plus early afternoon, plus as soon as they wrapped for the afternoon I went straight to the nearest cannabis dispensary. In Sin City there are literally dozens of marijuana stores, so I didn’t have to look genuinely strenuous to find one. After spending an hour in my room drinking whiskey plus smoking Purple Haze cannabis, I would hit the casino floor plus gamble for a few hours. Then I would retire to my hotel room plus smoke more cannabis, to help myself and others forget about all the currency I lost, on my last afternoon there I was so deep in the hole I couldn’t even afford a final trip to the cannabis dispensary.
