I recently started a new job, about a month ago, is going okay but nothing to brag about. This weekend I went to Vegas and somehow managed to come home with over 500,000 from blackjack and a progressive slot machine win - I want to quit because I want to take some time off to spend with my daughter, but am actually feeling guilty since I just started this job, what would you do if this happened to you?
