Played some pool last night

Yet another day off. Decided to go and hit some balls at Brian's with my friend Jensen so I have no update for poker.

I would however like to talk about how things at the pool hall have gone downhill since I used to hang out there a couple of years ago. I grabbed a table, but when I got there, I realized that half the table lights were out which made the table really dark near the foot of the table. I went to the front desk to let them know about the problem and to ask them if they could take a look at the lights.

After about 20 minutes, a couple of the security guards went to another table with some new lights. I went to ask them if they could look at our table first since we were actually playing on the table. They said they would be right over, but an hour later, no one had come to look at the lights. We eventually moved tables, but no one ever went to look at the lights on our original table and that just irritated me.

I guess I was upset because this was a perfect example of how the pool hall has gone downhill over the past few years. It's a pool hall dammit, the lighting on the table makes a huge difference. Maintenance of the equipment should be a top priority, but instead, I felt like everyone I talked to didn't understand what I was talking about or why I thought it was such a big deal. Them acting like they didn't care pissed me off even more.

Something like this would never have happened with previous management. They understood that making sure that the tables were in good shape was a top priority. I guess I'm just not used to seeing the pool hall in the kind of shape that it's in now. It makes me sad that it seems like no one cares. I used to spend a lot of time at the pool hall in the past and I hate to see it going to crap.
