a whole new found respect

Work went well today. I am the executive housekeeper of a Hampton inn and suites. Work in the winters slow down a bit and so do hours for my housekeepers. We work in a resort town that has snowmobile trials and a winter carnival. Until we get snow there are no guest. Everyone gets in winter mode and everything slows down. The housekeepers work just as hard because I make them. If they slow down we wont be ready when summer hits the lake. We finally got a storm and everyone was thrilled. Thrilled because we were looking forward to the snowmobile trails to open up so we could get better business. That's what happened. The problem was we thought we were ready.

There are 93 rooms in the hotel and 6 housekeepers to do the job. When we are booked up there's no way the math adds up. I, according to policy can't ask them to do any more than 16 rooms in an 8 hour shift. 16 times 6 is 96. It would work but someone needs a day off. I never have all 6 on at once. So we ended up booked. Great. We worked so hard to get the house turned over for the next days arrivals. booked again. Another day of staying late for me and 2 housekeepers getting over time. Finally after 4 days in a row of this my day off comes around. Not sure if I'm going to be able to take it off or not due to the quitting of my assistant I was not in the best of moods. Boss man steps up to the plate. joy joy

Today. Back form my days off to get everyone asking what they can do to help the keepers and I. I had no clue why till our managers meeting. The boss man aparentaly not having a great time covering me asks me how the hell I've been doing it the last few days. I told him all it took was me staying till almost 8 pm ever night. He said if i need any help with anything to just ask him. I have him at my disposal.

Feels great when someone walks in your shoes and realizes they don't fit.

day off what a mess

I get a day off of work and It's spent at home doing home work. Collage is so much fun. I know that no one ever said it was going to be easy but this is insane. I guess after you turn a sertan age it;s hard to break old habits that interfere with things like studying. Most of my courses require allot of reading. Well guess what, I hate reading. Not only do I hate it I never remember a darn thing i read. I usually fall asleep while I read. I don't know why. It would take me month to get through one book. So I hate reading. Yet I love sleep. Silly to hate reading when the out come is what it is.

Ok long story short. Had to read three chapters today and take a quiz about them. I just took the quiz without finishing the reading. That is so irresponsible. I hope that I pass. It's a good thing the grade for the quiz is worth less than the written assignment. That I know i did good on.

Besides school I spent allot of time trying to fix my computer. Someone looked at something that resulted in a virus. That was a nightmare. I just got the darn thing and no support with ways to fix it. Here i am a computer Dumbo trying to fix it. Guess what...I did. Don't ask how but it only cost me 29.95. That's right only 29.95. You too can solve all your virus problems at the small fee of 29.95.

I shouldn't complain so darn much. Life is really good besides all the silly things i let ruin my day. Jobs going great, kids are healthy and happy, and so am I. So why spend it crying. Someone should kick me.

another day of joy

I woke up to kids asking me if they could play the x box. Guess what time that was? 6am. When there is no school you would think they would want to keep mom in a really good mood seeing as they knew they were going to spend all day with her. but no, we have to start of with please moms and why nots. I just take a breath remember that there was once a time that I too was a little bugger and wanted what I wanted when I wanted it. Then I try and remember that if they don't hurry up and have as much fun as they can the day will be over. Then what? Days gone, its bed time and they only played for 13 hours instead of say 10. So to make this short, I got out of bed, made them eat breakfast first, and made them pamper me with comments like your the best mommy in the world. then I let them play. Almost did'nt have the heart to tell them we had to go do laundry. Almost. The truth is i enjoyed it. The look on their little faces. Priceless. That's about the extent of my day today. joy. no one should be aloud to have this much fun. its a sin.

OK day two

Nothing new but classes. Life in online collage is not easy. I have never been a highly motivated person and never seem to complete any task played out before me. That is changing a little bit. I can now pay a bill on time. The collectors love me. That was always my goal you know .I wanted so badly for the bill collectors to just adore me. I did it. I accomplished something. Sadly they don't call anymore. Guess they were never really my friends after all.
Anyway staying on the point (like i have one). Online classes.
I just posted the of my assignments, all last minute in a hurry like. Really need to find some type of motivation. You would think just the idea that I could soon have a degree at my young age of 32 would be enough. If only I could just get younger instead of older. Then i would have all the time in the world to put this off again. I'm really who want to be successful in life anyway. It's too much like work.

what to write about

had myself this online diary once. hated it. decided after people started getting needed to stop. By needy I mean people I have never meet in my life starting to send me emails wanted to know when i was going to post again. Really, I was thinking. It's not like I'm some great writer bursting with creativity. I was just putting stuff down about my uneventful days with out ever spell checking. What so great about that. My life is not one of adventure and excitement. My life is simply life. Dragging on each day to a painful end with fleeting sleep. Yawn . So I guess this will be pretty much the same thing. I just enjoy writing. I love putting the strange things in my head down someplace. I don't care if anyone reads. I just love doing it. I also don't care what anyone thinks. Well maybe i do a little. I love writing and getting some kind of deep debate going on. I love the others point of view. Seeing things through someone Else's eyes is like stepping out of your self. A door opens up and your someone else for a minute. fun fun. I think its time to end this thing for now.
