It's the one day a year I admit my true age. Funny how that happens when hitting 46 (according to teenagers I'm ancient). I celebrated with my family eating pizza at my sister's house. I fed the dog pieces of sausage. I opened my Mom's gift which was cat socks she thought were cute. The problems with owning a cat is that every cat object people see they must buy for me. I have ferrets too.
Got a foot bath for my aching feet and enjoyed it immensely. Pets were curious of the blowing bubbles. Gave myself a pedicure complete with pumice stone rub. I needed pretty feet and fingers to go on 2 interviews in one week. Then got another interview after accepting a job offer. Didn't get the job I wanted (sit at a desk and not talk to any customers), but work the same job at a different hotel for more money. Can't complain. Naturally old boss desired me to stay with them. I would only stay to be an accountant at their hotel. That job will never happen so out I go (Manager does the bookkeeping at small hotels).
I told my new coworkers about my old hotel: I'm tired of working 6 days a week cause management can't get new people hired and the ones they have don't want to work. Yeah, I understand you hate your job, but I don't appreciate doing my job plus everyone else's jobs too. I'm tired of missing every famiy gathering and holiday dinners cause I'm always working. I'm tired of a broken marketplace freezer so guests don't know all summer we have ice cream in the kitchen because someobody didn't like the sign I made explaining this to them (it's been broken for months). I'm tired of doing laundry cause a coworker can't grab the pool towels and we don't have enough laundry workers so the backroom is a huge mess. I'm tired of being the only one who helps with breakfast (guests complain the cook needs help, but when I go help her they complain nobody is at the front desk). A coworker is tired stripping beds to help housekeeping cause temp agency maids won't show up. I'm tired of complaints how my hotel stopped servign cinnamon rolls for breakfast so our guest satisfaction scores are going down (when the manufacuter sends us more rolls, we will put them out). I'm tired of opening boxes of moldy oranges cause I'm the only one who scrubs them under hot water and places them into another container when they arrive. My new hotel coworkers are stuck with me.
Started a new diet program and took a before picture. The new HIIT exercises makde my muscles ache for a week and migraines hit me to make me stop exercising until they stop (sometimes they last a week) so increase in exercising doesn't always happen. Trying the Keto diet with less carbs and more protein. That is very hard diet to follow. Meat prices skyrocketed over the summer and I'm not crazy over protein nuts so eating more carb than protein that is the only food available. Got some protein bars to eat at work. Program meals are ridiculousL Seriously they expect me to eat 1 cup of food for a meal? Do you have any idea how hungry that will make my body? Though I fail to see why they suggest rice over bread. Do they realize rice has more calories? I understand the whole wheat bread suggestion since white bread doesn't have the fiber content to make one feel fuller even if the two breads have the same starchy calories. Program also suggested a lot of salads (people cannot live on lettuce alone).
Took my sister's dog out for a walk while they were at the amusement park. Pup was terrified of me and we didn't go very far. The 2nd walk we never made it past the driveway. Brother-in-law said the pup pooped a lot when he took them for a walk when they returned home.
Had the adventure of a house finch in my house. Little bird flew in the open door when taking my cats outside. It tried so hard to escape out the window and fell like a rock to the floor. I scooped it up and took it outside by the lilies for cover so it could rest while. It fluttered off my hand so it is okay. Refilled the bird feeders and came back inside.
Old hotel hired a new night auditor and I was eager to train them, but they never showed up for their first day so management has to train the next hired one, whichever actually shows up. Oh well. I know old management will miss me every night they cover my shift.
