Do I feel lucky?



I haven't posted this much in one day since my ranting and raving about the Big Firm.
The casino people called, the interview is tomorrow morning at the casino. Bad part is that my interview clothing [probably not the full suit--people don't do that here] will end up smelling like cigarette smoke.

My "ace in the hole" so to speak...it is an Indian casino and I happen to be Indian. Not the distant "grandmother was a Cherokee Princess" Indian, but an actual tribal member. I don't *look* Indian, but am a little over a quarter of my "official" tribe and also can claim another tribe [just not officially--as far as the government is concerned, you can only belong to one tribe at a time.] Anyway, this has helped me before in working with other Indian-oriented jobs, so it might here, although contrary to popular belief I don't think it's automatic. And besides, why couldn't there be another qualified Indian candidate? Maybe even one from their actual tribe [I'm from another part of the country, so for all I know the people here might think that I'm taking a job from one of their people anyway.]

Wish me luck. I will try to avoid the temptation to gamble. Probably my biggest advantage will be the CPA, because I only have book knowledge when it comes to the rest of this. Why oh why did I go into tax? I'm starting to think that going into tax is the accounting equivalent of majoring in English.
