Happy New Year!!

Grabbed the new 2025 calendar and started writing down people's birthdays. Then started to cry complete with silent scream. I woke up happy and relaxed instead of tired and stressed. Tomorrow I start my new job and full of hope for an amazing year. My horoscopes says I will come into money this year, even Chinese horoscope says that. Hope that comes true. I guess it hit me in a weird way. My body is healing from my emotional roller coaster ride. My cry was my body releasing stress.

Last night was fun. Stopped at the hotel bar for a rum punch and ate a pizza (I love their pizza). The couple next to me gave the manager a hard time about not recommending the pizza when they asked about food. He recommended their chicken wings as his favorite so they ordered wings. Oh well, they are ones missing good pizza. Got a message where my hotel bartender friend was located and walked there. Went to several bars before returning to the hotel. Friends kept buying me drinks so didn't pay for any of them. I asked what the name of the drinks were but they didn't know, they just told the bartender something sweet. They were awesome drinks too. The former restaurant manager said the new hotel general manager asked if she would return to the hotel (what about the restaurant manager they have now?). She also said the company fired the prior general manager when his wife was in the middle of cancer treatments so they didn't have insurance for 6 months. This latest general manager who was fired a week before Christmas (company couldn't haven't until the new year?), I text messaged a good bye and he replied after 6 and half years at this company, they didn't even give him severance pay. He tried for a year and half trying to turn this hotel around and moved his family here since he started a temporary task force. The new general manager is task force too so who knows how long he will stay.

Anyway, I parted ways with the hotel and hope I don't have to return. In the interview, I didn't sense a toxic environment.
