Working my 3 days weekend off

Got a 3 days weekend off at the office so volunteered to work at the hotel. They lost 2 people (supervisor and coworker) so they need help. Next week they lose two more people (front office manager and coworker). They hired a new night auditor and couple more poeple are coming who have system experience so not starting from scratch. Found out the task force assistant general manager went back home and another is coming (if they ever come since they were suppose to arrive three days ago). Junior supervisor is the new senior supervisor and with me are the only front desk personnel with experience. I wonder how long supervisor who is now the big bossman will last.

I worked my Friday shift and that hotel has gone downhill since I partially left. I met the management intern who will be there a year. Intern will be from scratch and in college for hotel management. Worked with the General Manager tonight and believe me, we needed the help. Were oversold 11 room types and people didn't like changing from 2 beds plus sofa bed to 1 bed plus sofa bed. I had to call other hotels cause we were going to run out of 1 bed rooms too. Front office manager was going to work a double shift from lack of staff. I said No, I will come in tomorrow. I said I could work Monday too cause I get a 3 day weekend at the office. Sunday is family day at cemetery so can't work that day. He said he would work a middle shift, but no, general manager working that shift. I called 15 hotels for rooms and everyone was sold. We had to clean up the bad rooms with something broken to satisfy all the reservations. We got some relief when someone with 7 reservations said they needed just 1 room. The wife called the reservation line to make changes to her resrvation, but instead of changing the reservation, they made a new one without cancelling the old one. Weirdoes. The supervisor came in early to help out and I was about to fall on the floor. I realized I had not eaten for 7 hours so had food to feel better. Won't be working Ssuday cause I am planning to visit cemeteries wiht the family.

Worked on my required financial course for my bankruptcy. Control your spending. Make a Budget. Have goals. Save for rainy days. Nice, but what if you lose your job and nobody will help you. Can't get public assistance if you don't have kids, or an IRA, or a house, or a car. Unemployment only lasts 2 months and even then they make it harder to get requiring classes that are useless (Excuse me, I know how to write a resume and have a college degree). I can only cut my expenses so much without living in my car.

And guess who is back. Car buddy just pulled in the driveway. Roommate came inside from the car and he plus the teen visitor then took off the car. Car buddy stayed in the car. I hope this meant he is grabbing all his stuff out of my house.
