a long time ago i used to work in this machine shop. was a pretty shitty job but had to pay down the cc bills so had to do it. worked next to this older woman. we reamed out machine parts on a drill press for 9 hours a day. elbows deep in oil and grit, boring as shit. She was there for ten years before i was there doing that exact same thing. Found out later that she is the factory owners older sister. She walked into a casino for the first time and won 25k on one of her first pulls. She went back the next week and lost, went back during the week and lost more.. weeks months go by, she is not only down the 25k but she put a second mortgage on her house to try to win back her money.. she ended up losing the house and her job and had to work for her brother for 10$ an hour...
won of the saddest and confusing stories i have ever heard, i have a feeling she is still there today if she's still alive..
