Chauffer Service

Roommate called explaining work buddy house loaned out his car to another work friend and they forgot a few things so they need me to go pick them up, drive them back to my place, and then take them back to work buddy's house. Which of course I did cause I am so nice.

At Wit's End

Well, I have been applying for night or weekend jobs to make extra money to pay off my credit card debt. Today I started applying for full-time jobs. I am tired of dealing with this new General Manager. I am done being his secretary and training him how everything works around here. Today he gave me another pet project right when we are starting our end of the month stuff: Go through all the audit packets I have in a box and make detailed spreadsheet explaining why the restaurants are making so many adjustments. Excuse me, can he not ask the restaurant staff why there are so many adjustments? He will get a faster and less time-consuming answer. I just get what they write down. I am so ready to quit right now. I loved my job and hoped to be here for years, but I am done being his secretary.

Took visitor dog to local lake trail again. They were excited is understatement. People weren't as friendly and only a few petted them. Oh well, worked off stress. Roommate is staying at work buddy's house, which is actually his grandparents' house. Roommate commenting how he read my social media post having a bad day and I think he is avoiding me.

Job interview that didn't happen

Roomamte was up all night playing video games with his work buddy asleep on the couch. He said he had a job interview today when I left for work. Return home and there was no interview today, he filled out job applications. A few hours after I got home he finally fell asleep.

Death in the family

We had a death in the family. My father's cousin's husband died suddenly. He was in the bathroom and collapsed with his hands on his chest. Paramadics couldn't revive him. I went to the visitation. Apparently the cousin has been expericing unplugged lights turned on in the bedroom and the dog barking at nobody in the bathroom. She said to the spirit of her husband "I'm okay".

Roommate has been gone for two days and suddenly came back to provide half a pizza that I paid for to people sitting in a truck in my driveway. Those people were the ones who got roommate involved with depositing a forged check that got him arrested. In short, career criminals know where I live. Apparently roommate and his work buddy went to a party (hotel room or drug house?) and got high.

Walk at the lake

Took the visitor dog out for a walk at the local lake trail. Pup was escatic and ready to sniff everyone. I had trouble explaining not everyone wants to pet them. We had a good walk and they were so happy.

Hope that wasn't me

Dropped by my old hotel to say hi, and grab chicken tenders. I viewed a new person at the front desk. I said it was good they are hiring new people. Bartender agreed we need more staff. Person is the new interm hotel manager that will be here until a new one hired. Then commented that I hope my exit interview didn't get the old General Manager fired. I said in the exit interview we needed more staff cause everyone was stressed out and supervisors who have been here over 10 years were ready to quit. Plus the 2 Front Desk Managers they hired were complete disasters. One was a thief (when they quit money stopped being missing from the cash drawer) and the other was on her phone all night when training her to do the night audit.

Roommate is off camping again with his work friend. Apparently another former coworker is joining them. I get to take care of the pets again. Visitor dog is enjoying our walks.

Hotel Inspection

We passed our hotel inspection. They spent the past week paintig and cleanig tile grout. 96% is damn great.

Missing light

Discovered one of the under cupboard lights is missing. Oh, one of the drug friends my roommate brought over and stayed here for a week is a thief. Well, thank you for bringing a thief into my house. Some plastic flowers are missing too. Do I need to walk the whole house to figure out what else is missing?

Also discovered why he had a falling out with a former coworker he was living with in a hotel room. His now ex girlfriend was this former coworker's girlfriend who he stole from him.

I might be losing my roommate soon. He and his former coworker at his latest job have been hanging around playing video games on my TV. They are looking at apartments and rental houses. But first they have to get jobs cause both are unemployed. They want to work at the same place and create a house cleaning business cause they have trouble finding jobs. Good luck to them.

Camping trip

Friend spent the night on the couch while roommate slept on the floor. Came home from work to a mowed lawn and roommate announced he is going camping in the tent I bought him a while back and with his friend. He will be gone the next 3 days. I get to take care of the dog. Oh joy. This will be a strange weekend when I am so used to having him around. I took the dog out for a walk. The dog is starting the bark again. At most she was whine, but never bark since she came. I don't know if she feels safe to bark or hearing the neighbor dogs barking encouraged this.

This morning I let the dog out and visitor cat came out too. Got them back inside to let my cat Bilbo outside. Tried to put up the gate so dog could be in the living room without being attacked by Bilbo, but she kept knocking it down so had to put her back in the kennel. If I leave her alone in roommate's room, she poops on the floor. He returned to collect a few things holding a beer bottle. Guess they drank beer last night until they were ready to go to sleep. Nice camping trip for him.

I feel so trapped by all my debt without any way out with my roommate out of work, again. I'm tired of carrying him. I believe I need to declare bankruptcy or sell my house. 2 cats and 3 ferrets are buried in the backyard so I don't want to move. I love my house and want to stay. After visiting my old hotel, I walked across the bridge to get to my car. I so badly wanted to say to hell with it and jump off. But what will happen to my cats if I leave. What will happen to my roommate. I am so tired of praying for a miracle. I planned on going to the beach today and go for a walk tomorrow. Hopefully this weekend off will calm my nerves. I have household chores to do and groceries to buy. I don't know what to do anymore.

Post later.

Understanding my predecessor

I can see why my predecessor quit after a year. He did more work than me by himself. I was told he often worked 6 days a week. Today I spent 4 hours making a spreasheet for a group cause their invoice was over 200 pages. They had 2 paragraphs of problems the sales team refuse to answer and instead pushed it on me. "Let us know when you fix everything" was the phrase in the email. Excuse me, why can't they answer questions and fix problems. I don't have access to sales contracts to know what the group was told or what rates should be. I'm getting tired of being the sales department's secretary. I even lashed out at my roommate who didn't deserve it and apologized with a hug. I don't want to quit. I love my job itself, some of the coworkers and managers are driving me crazy.

Now roommate is unemployed

Well the security job said he was disqualified from getting a security guard card with them because of his court case so they fired him. Why did they let him work for a week? I came home thinking he was working today, but no he was fired. He was playing video games saying he was high to meet another friend of his sitting on my couch. I get upset he lost his job and can't pay rent or the restitution off. He gets upset I embarrassed him in front of his guest. He unleashes a fury of him trying to find work to help me out and how he cleaned my kitchen today. I reply I am getting tired of carrying him. I finally stopped his ramblings saying I had a bad day, took it out on him, and apologized with a hug. He told me he was fired in front of his friend and upset I got upset in front of friend. What did he really expect? Spent the rest of the night with Bilbo cat in my room since I can't watch TV with roommate playing games on it. He says he will try to get his restaurant job back. Yeah, and he keeps saying the dog is leaving soon and dog is still here. I have no faith in his words anymore.

Work Drama

This General Manager is still learning my job description. He reads a report and questions the double garage rental charge. We are not double charged, one is for June and one is for July. General Manager is outraged there is a June expense on a July report. Probably cause that is when the corporate accounts payable team paid it. I send the corporate office invoices when I recieve them. He tells me I should be more careful entering in the invoices. I had to explain that I don't enter the invoices. I scan them to the corporate website and corporate staff enter the invoices into their system. I have no control over those people.

Another blow

Roommate lost his job at the restaurant cause he got sick over the weekend. I bought an at home Covid test that came up positive. Apparently he called in sick the first day, but not the next 2 days so he was fired for no show and no call for 2 days in a row. He has his security job so he can still connect with the ladies chasing him. One came over Saturday night when he was sick and spent the night. I told him some jobs aren't worth keeping.

No tour today

Well no tour today. Get some message the guy asking for a tour of my city isn't in the country. Asking me to take this conversation to What App in the first reply was a big red flag. I don't have time pen pal or romance scams.

Everyone is at the state fair and I took my feet to the beach to enjoy swimming in the local lake. About a dozen people were there so quite empty beach. Soon it will all be over and school starts, then autumn cools everything down. Have to enjoy the heat while I can.

Met a Presidential Candidate

Ran into Nikki Haley today while I was paying for the wood delivery for our wood grill in the restaurant. I asked if I may shake her hand and she said "Absolutely". She loves our hotel and I wished her a great day. All the presidential candidates are here for the State Fair. My governor is interviewing them all. She seemed like a sweet person nervous being recognized until I asked to shake her hand. I hope she does better in the polls. I don't like the top 2 contenders. Then again, I am not a conservative and can't vote in the primaries or caucauses. I am an independent and intend on staying that way. I might vote for her if she was against Joe Biden, but I dont' like some of her politics like our governor. I do care where they stand on the issues.

Video games

Funny. Roommate received a video console from a friend to play video games on my TV. So I don't get to watch TV anymore cause he is on it all night. Video games are like watching a 3-D cartoon movie. He plays video games all day and night. He was playing a multi-player game on speakerphone when my cat Misty jumped up on the couch. I spoke sweet things to her as I petted her and heard roommate say to his friend on speakerphone, "She's talking to the cat".

He visited his work friends today and came home high with a bottle of rum. I asked if he was sharing the rum. I am used to cocktails so poured some Mountain Dew in with my glass of rum. Not bad. He drinks it straight.

Work Stress

New General Manager is driving me nuts. Interrupts me constantly during my daily reconciliation of 2 computer systems. Today he wanted an answer why there was a negative number on his report. How should I know? I drop what I'm doing, try to comprehend what he is talking about, and gather my brain cells to explain the negative number. I don't know. Wait, the negative number is from something I did yesterday. Oh yeah, I had to take off a bunch of charges cause a group was double charged. And it turns out I did the double charges cause someone put the charges on the wrong receipt so I didn't realize they had been entered already. He wants evidence of my explanation so print out 10 pages of evidence to prove my explanation. Then go back to the reconciliation.

Then I get another interruption telling me to send an invoice to a group who leaves today. Yeah sure, right after I deal with 50 emails, 40 invoices need processing, 6 credit authorization forms for upcoming events, and send 3 invoices to groups who left yesterday. I did send the bill at 4 PM.

Roommate verses women

Picked up roommate from work and he decided to keep his job and squared things away with management. 3 female coworkers are chasing him so can't leave the job. He can't break their hearts. He still talks to his ex and she keeps breaking up/making up with her boytoy and his former friend he no longer speaks to. Boytoy found himself a new flame and she needs to find a new place to live. I guess that means she left the homeless camp when she moved in with him. She wants to come back to live here and roommate assured she is not allowed back here. She burned that bridge cheating on him with his friend and lying to him with others she cheated with.

Hooray! Roommate said he got the mall security job and starts Friday. Manager said he is taking a chance on him and see what happens. He got weed from a coworker and smoked it after work not on the clock so he is high right now. He also announced he "f**ked a b**ch". A coworker with a boyfriend she doesn't like cause he is insecure got together in a crab shack. I think that is a closed restaurant going by the mention of a table they screwed on.

Guests still here

Guess the guy of the drug couple who been here for a week is leaving and gal said she is moving back in with her father, then moving in with her uncle. Roommate mentioned he may have to move back to Texas, but he wants to move to Alaska too.

Roommate said screw the 3rd time cause he didn't have time for it. He think he can pay the restitution off by the end of the month and start paying rent. I thought I could use his rent payment via Cash App for groceries and use my bank money to pay eveyrthing else. I got Paypal and Cash App for my candle business.

I caught the roommate in his underwear. When I picked him up from work last night, he jumped into the shower. After his shower he comes out in his underwear and put on jeans in the middle of the living room. I was on my computer and avoided staring at him that would make him uncomfortable. He said guests are leaving today so he can go back to sleeping on the futon in the basement tonight. He has my basement laundry room made up as a bedroom and loves it. Good riddance, they have been here a week.

Pick him up from work tonight and he has job difficulties. Manager received a complaint from a customer about him and threatened to fire him without receiving his side of the story. He put in his 2 week notice. The security job tested him for drugs so that night when I was having a drink at my old job he was nearby. He came over for a ride home. Former coworkers were happy to see him and I gave him a ride home. Apparently security doesn't care if he was positive for marijuana he smoked last week or on probation for check forgery. But to have a security guard card to be hired, his court case prevents him from being hired. Now the work at home self-employed business owner has yet to offer a job, he just interviewed. He might have to take back the 2 week notice until he finds another job.

Since I can't count on him to find and keep a job, I signed up online to be a tour guide called "a local" to show tourists around my beautiful city. Will see if I get any tours. If they lodge a complaint, there is a money guarentee and I don't get paid. Nice.

Another job

Roommate had an interview yesterday for a mall security job and today he got offered the job. He thinks he will like that better, but will work both jobs for the money. He hates being a host and smiling all day. The drug friends who have been here all week broke up and now roommate worries Ms. Rebound will cozy up to him. He ain't ready for a girlfriend yet, but she is a good friend of his. He thinks he will get a 3rd job. I worked 2 part time jobs for 2 years and it was exhausting.

Broken up couple are back in my house sleeping in my basement futon.

Happy Birthday to Nephew

Nephew had his birthday party at a restaurant around noon so I couldn't come cause I was working. He turns 19 today. Heading to college soon. I will get his card to him later. I haven't even bought a present for him yet.

Roommate is so funny. He criticized me for having receipts around the house when guests are here. Excuse me, I don't call his homeless friends treating my house like a free hotel as guests. They have been here a 4th day and who knows when they are leaving. They sleep all day. How many of his homeless friends have been in this house, and he never complained how awful my house looked in front of his guests. I came home from work to all my doors unlocked and kitchen light on. Checked the camera and roommate left this morning with his backpack (sign of a homeless person is the backpack that students often use).

At work I heard one of the valet drivers disappeared and a guest complained nobody was there to help them. They looked for him everywhere. The valet driver left while on the clock to go to a job interview. Some people amaze me.

General Manager is finishing my training. I should be doing this, but I don't have access. I should be doing that, but I don't know how. I should reconcile everything in the buillding. Do you realize how long that is going to take? And he really needs to stop announcing every day the room revenue is out of balance. That is why I reconcile it to the hotel system figures every morning, cause the corporate system figures are often wrong. Then he is so itchy collecting from accounts receivable. With all the work I have to do, I don't have time to worry about it. He is getting on my nerves.
