New job

Had a short first day. The training manager called in sick so received the tour and introductions. Came home 2 hours later. But I receive a salary so hours don't matter. Going to help with night audit for 2 days. The accounting manager is in Chicago working several hotels so mostly get to know them via email and phone calls. I was offered and accepted the position of Accounting Clerk, but being introduced as the Accounting Manager. Tha would explain my salary instead of hourly wage. My 1st salary job.

Next day got to work with training. A lot of reconciliation and data entry. Then get cash for people and make bank deposits. Typical accounting job. Friday night stopped at my old for a drink at the bar. Gave the new job updates.

Saturday came into work to code invoices and apparently this trainer got behind on things so we are catching up. He said he will scan the invoices on Sunday since we worked 4 hours coding them.

He said on Sunday he scanned the invocies for 4 hours before he got done. Poor guy. He is an Operations Supervisor who stepped into this role when the last Financial Director left. He started at the front desk and helps with guests when we stop by asking if they need change. I told him their night audit was an interesting experience. Valet parking so had to enter those charges, breakfast is paid by guests so no homeless sneaking in for free food, no pool so less kids running around unsupervised causing trouble, and audit was done differently but largely the same. I like my new hotel.

Averted a cat fight. Been putting canned cat food in the bedroom for Bilbo, but tonight there were ants so had to find another spot. Well the visitor cat Lily found the new spot and Bilbo caught her eating his leftovers. I removed the food from Lily and moved it so Bilbo could eat it. Then they growled at each other while I ate a popicle. Then removed Lily to another room to end the stare down. If you wondered, visitor dog Ivory has eaten the dry cat food in bedroom (tonight covered in ants) one night and Bilbo freaked out, hit the bed skirt, and spooked the dog out of the bedroom. Had to lock Ivory in living room cause it was feeding time whereas Bilbo follows me waiting for me to give him the canned food.

Celebrated my brother's birthday after work with cake and ice cream. Everybody was eager to hear about my new job.
