Back at work

Suprise! This one promises (again) to be short. I am tired after my 2nd day at work. I didn't realize how easily I would tire after being off work for six very long months. I am liking my job - so far. There are a few things I can see that could be done differently (in MY opinion!) But thankfully I am NOT management and will be happy to follow the rules and 'do it their way.' Two more morning shifts this week and next week I'll train two evening shifts and two audit/graveyard shifts. THEN, I should be good to go on my preferred shift (3 - 11 PM) It means I'll be away from home in the evenings and not here to eat dinner with Larry. Hmmmmmmmm, I'm thinking that may not be a bad thing. I'll leave his dinner in "the magic pot" as he calls the slow cooker and I'll be eating on my own during the day. Sooo, I'll be back to MY personal favorite - grilled Chicken Breast! Yumm! I'm so ready to cut the PORK (Larry's favorite) from my diet. Well, at least for the 3 or 4 days a week I'll be scheduled at the hotel. I am now looking forward to the spring/summer season. I want winter to be OVER!!! It has been mild here so far. Got COLD awhile but the snow has been minimual and for that I am thankful. I guess God's making up to us for last year. LOL.... =) But still, I just want some warm SUNNY weather. ANd of course I am looking forward to July. We will be moving out of the apartment we rented when the ONE we wanted fell thru due to the tennant not moving out. (Don't overstay your welcome with family = move into what is available!) So we are again on the list for an apartment in the building we wanted when we moved back here. Golly, this could turn into another mini-novel so I will say tata for now.... Good night my friends.

JOB

Ok, I promise I'll try to keep this one short. I know, keeping it short isn't my best event! LOL =) I've had what for me has been a busy week. On Monday I went to the Fair Bridge Inn armed with my resume (because I'd seen an ad in the Sunday paper for a part time front desk agent.) I spoke briefly with the owner/GM and got an application which I filled out on the spot. I didn't really think the GM was very interested in me from the way he'd talked while I was there so I didn't think much more about it. Then on Wednesday AM I got a call from the front desk manager (Sarah) asking me to come in for an interview. I met with the GM again but this time he seemed much more interested in my work history and what I could bring to the property. A few hours later Sarah again called and asked if I could come in the next AM to "sit down" with her. I spent a few minutes talking with her and felt fair certain I had the job as I left, being told they (Fredrick and Sarah) would discuss what they wanted to do and be in touch. Sarah had already told me they are looking for someone to work three PM (3-11) shifts a week and asked when I could start training. I told her the first of the week would work well for me and she said Tuesday AM shift for training. Less than 45 minutes later I got a call from Fredrick saying they wanted to offer me the job! So I am will return to work on Tuesday after having been off work since August when we moved back here from Arizona. So now you're looking at this and thinking 'Jacki, THIS is not keeping it short! You could have just said:'I had a job interview and will start work next week.'" But, if you're reading my blog you probably already know I will always do my best to "fill in the blanks." I don't like to leave you wondering 'WHO, What, Where, WHen or HOW!' HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA ok, that's it for now. good by all. Until next time.. Keep looking up.
