A Day in the Life of a Workaholic

I feel like one, I'm always here. Work work work, that's all. Well at least I get paid good for it, and with our declining economy, it's pretty good. Almost through the hiring process and I believe we have our two new desk people. Which the sooner we get them hired and trained, the sooner I can work only mornings! I've been looking foreward to a set schedule for so long now. Occasional nights would be fine, otherwise, it screws with me. Tomorrow I work till 11 then I open the next morning. It's not bad, but it means that when I get out of work then gotta go straight to bed and get up early the next day. Or I prolly won't be tired enough to go to sleep, then only have 3-4 hours of sleep. Done it before, it's just 10 times more tiring because I have a lot more to do.

So went shopping for some clothes Sunday, looking pretty snazy! Brandon is also managing every Monday and Tuesday at his job now. Pretty soon, he'll be managing and serving and never home! Lol. It's okay though, we can make it. It seems like everything is getting in line as far as money and working on things. Saving money is my ultimate goal now, and hopefully that means I can get a new car sooner! So, hopefully this all works out.

A week from now is my subpeona. Can't wait for that, because it could go on for days. Woo. All I need is to lose time learning things at work, because some jerk doesn't want to go to jail. Do one good deed and it catches up with ya. The end of the month is also coming up fairly quickly. Going down to Ohio! Need this small vacation so bad. Away from work is going to be the best. I'm either going to get some sleeping pills for the ride there and back or just hope that the car-sick medicine will work. It seems to me when I last took those, they didn't work. But then again sleeping pills will make me groggy when I wake up. But if it's only for the long car ride, should be okay.

And that takes me to having nothing else to talk about. Thank goodness my life is sooo interesting!

TGIF!

Friday couldn't come any sooner. It's been an exahusting week for me. For some reason work just wore me out. I'm off this weekend as far as having to go in, but I'm on call for the next three days. I only have an hour and a half left of today, and I get to go home!

First day working alone went really good. I spent most of my day with Tiffany and doing all my stuff. I didn't really take a lunch break, but it's ok. I don't need to eat all the time. Haha! I'll get something when I get out. Just don't know what... Hmm... I just got my quizes for work, so I should get going.

Seeing Resident Evil on Sunday! It's gonna be awesome!

Laters! :)

Today's just a day, Tomorrow... An Experience.

I'm working right now, just got done taking my Workplace Violence class, and boy was that awesome. It kind of scared me at first with all the gun and shootings talk, but was pretty easy. Still trying to get caught up but it's really hard to when things aren't working correctly. But nonetheless I'm getting myself caught up. Today is just a day, but tomorrow, a different story.

It's my first day alone as manager, and it's kinda nerve racking. I know what I need to do, and I have the support from Tom still, but... It's an experience. I'm also on call all weekend, so hopefully I won't get called or if I do, I won't have to go up to the hotel. That would blow! Otherwise things are looking good.

I'm sure there's more to report, but who wants to talk about work, and nothing that interesting came up yet. So I'll leave ya to yourselves.

Wednesday, Already?

Wow how time flies! It's already the middle of the week and it's closing down fast. Work has been going great. We are still trying to find someone to hire and applications are rolling in. Hopefully we'll find someone to actually show up to their interview. (We had two interviews not show up!) There's a homeschool thing that I have to do that corporate sets up for us. I've done 3 in the past two weeks, woulda done 4, but one didn't work. I'll be doing a lot of those, just to catch up with everyone else. I also got my benifits packet and am going to apply for medical and dental. Enough about work!

Saw Machete on Monday. It was awesome. I expect nothing less from the Grindhouse-esque type of movie. The movie was made from a fake trailer in between the movies Death Proof and Planet Terror. They made it into a real movie and it was spectacular. Although I am a little squimish about blood and stuff like that. The effects and fight scenes were good, and the story was pretty good too. It had a lot of people in it also. Robert Deniro, Lindsey Lohan, Michelle Rodriquez, Steven Segal, and many more. Definitely a second watch in theaters for me.

Also, I can't wait for the new Harry Potter movie to come out. Sometime in November it will hit theaters and then the second part will be coming out next July. This is the finale and it's gonna be epic!

I thought that I would have to miss out on the buddy walk this year due to working on a certain date, but I don't have to, so I'm coming down! Look out Buddy Walk 2010, here I come! I'm still really excited.

I guess that's really it for now. Things are going well with me and Brandon. Until next time,

Live Long and Prosper.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

My first week is over and on to the new week. It's starting off great!

Tom said that he was very impressed with what I was capable of learning in a week. So that's a plus, and very nice. Like I said, it's a lot better working as a manager because there's so much to do. Although my nights are boring still, but soon enough I'll be off of them. I got kinda screwed tonight because some people thinks its good to call off in a text, at 7:30am. No call, nothing. So now I'm here till 11 instead of 9. My plans are none now, and no one can cover 6-11. Understanding that this is my job, I'm just angry that was the way she called off. I woulda worked until 6 today, and it woulda been fine.

Enough on ranting about my job.

Movies I've Seen Recently! I saw The Expendables. It was really good. A definite dude movie, but the action is incredible. So much blood and cool ways to be killed. Also saw Inception, which was amazing. The concept of it was origional in it's own way, and leaves it open for interpretation. Also saw Scott Pilgram vs. The World. It was decent. I'm not a big fan of Michael Cera so it took a little bit of the movie away from me. Otherwise, the action and videogame esque part of it was good. I felt like all the actors and actresses were good in it (besides Mr. Cera). I think that is all the movies I've seen recently. I believe we are going to see Machete tomorrow, so that'll be fun.

I guess that's it for now. Until then, Adios!

september 2nd

I'm going to try really hard to keep a blog going. It's failed me in the past, but the way technology is today, it'll be easier. Or at least that's what i think.

I'm halfway through my first week of training, and so far I really enjoy it. I feel like it's the right fit, just because i'm not bored doing my job. It's a challenge, but not a big one. Nothing i cant handle anyway. I've got my schedule until October 15th, so my life is planned until then.

September 21st I got subpoenaed to court. Brandon and I witnessed an accident and the guy is fighting it. So, could be just for that day or multiple days. Which sucks, because I want to know how much time I need off. I'm also hoping that it doesnt last till the 30th, because that's when i'm leaving for Ohio.

It's my first year doing the buddy walk, and I'm excited. With not having Brandi I don't have to watch her and the house. So my last vacation at least till next year. Can't wait to see all my cousins that couldn't come up this past month.

Well I guess that's all for now!

It's been a great month.

This past month and I guess today also has really been awesome. Not only did I get promoted as Assistant General Manager at the hotel, Brandon also became a manager on the second floor of The B.O.B. Everything in life seems to be in order, or at least starting. Both of our jobs recognize how hard we work and how well we do it. It's exciting! So Congrats Brandon!
