FINALLY!!

Breanna is out of school and past to second grade. She will still be in Daybrook, but this will be her last year there. She is a little nervous about going to a bigger school when she hits 3rd grade… LOL poor kid!

Breanna’s 8th birthday was really nice, she had some classmates here for her birthday and really enjoyed that. She got to play with her friends since school was out. Breanna  got some really nice gifts for her birthday also. I think she received around $40.00 to spend on things she wanted and I got her a Nintendo DS Lite (pink of course) and 9 games to go with it. Plus she got clothing, books, and art supplies.

Now Breanna has found another sport she likes to play…. Badminton. Not only do I run around nuts all day at work, but now I come home and play badminton with her. When I FINALLY get to bed … I am BEAT!!! But, it is good exercise for both of us so I guess I can’t argue about that.  She is getting better where I only run around the yard after the “birdie” part of the time now.

Breanna’s garden is doing well too. She has cucumbers, cauliflower, watermelon, peppers, beans, carrots, pumpkin, and corn all coming along nicely. I will have to take some pictures of this and add them on here. I was surprised at how fast they grew. The only part of it that stinks in the weeds, I swear they grow over night!! She is always plunking weeds from her garden.

I will add some pictures of her birthday and garden when I have a little more time :)

Busy, Busy, Busy

Well, with the summer almost here things have gotten busy around here. Breanna will be out of school in a month, and her birthday is right after that. It seems like she just started school, not about to get out :) Breanna is getting excited about being out for the summer and having her party soon. I think I have a list as long as my arm for her gifts. Little does she know I already got her gift for her birthday. HAHA!!!! I can’t mention it yet on here (she can read REALLY well for only being in 1st grade). But, I will be sure to add some pictures of her party and gifts on here when we have her party.

Work has been nuts too! Pretty soon we will be booked solid again, with graduation and football coming up again. I am NOT looking forward to this at all. I was told that graduation brings in some REALLY rude parents. I am not talking about high school grads, no I mean college grads. Our hotel is only a fourth of a mile from the college so we get A LOT of parents. OH BOY!!! Football season I did work last year and I know for a fact we get all the drunkin’ college students and fans. They are some the messiest people. But, I love my job (most of the time) so I just grin and bear it!

I need to buy some new books. I have read the Twilight Saga 3 times now. Can you say obsessed??? I love to read when I have the time and I think I know these books inside and out. Now I really need something new. But, I will be the first to admit I am totally in love with Twilight. It doesn’t help that Breanna is too :) She only seen the movie Twilight so far. She has asked about what happens in the other books so she pretty much knows the whole story even though she didn’t read them. She is waiting to see New Moon when it comes out. I have decided to take her to see it.

Breanna had a ball during her field trip to Pittsburgh. She seen a lot of great things and was even amazed by some of them. Breanna loved seeing the dinosaurs the most. She said they were kind of “creepy” though because of their size… LOL!! She seen a Crystal Skull, gems from around the world, displays of wild animals like bears and large cats, but her favorite was the dinos, of course! She went nuts at the gift shop spending all but a dollar and some cents… she came home with a big bag of goodies though! She hopes that someday she will be able to go back…. she loved it and had a lot of fun!

I added a few pictures from her trip.

I would stop in quick and let everyone know I am still alive … kind of.

I am beat. Work is kicking my ass and I only have one day off this week and that Sunday, by then I am going to need a week off to recover. Oh, by the way the guy they just hired is no longer there. The owner fired him. This is the first person I know of that he fired. Most of the time the supervisor does the firing. He must have been REALLY bad!!! THANK GOD!

Breanna is going on her school trip on the 24th, I will be uploading some pics from it … eventually. That is if they come out alright. She will be the one taking them. They are going to the Museum of Natural History ( dinosaurs). She better get me some GOOD pics of those. Since I have to work that day and can’t go…. work SUCKS sometimes!!

Easter was really nice even though it was kind of cool here. Breanna got a new basket of goodies from the Easter Bunny. Plus, we are going bike shopping on the 1st of May. I promised her a new bike since she is outgrowing hers. She looks funny riding. Her knees are up to her chest now… LOL

Like everything else I waited until the last minute to file my taxes. I did it on the 14th :) Well, at least they got done. See, I told you all I have no time for anything. Even this…. something to get money back and I still have no time for it…. damn. Hope it slows down soon!!!

I Need a Seditive Now!!

On Thursday I was informed that I would be trading a new co-worker. I hate this, I also feel nervous when I need to do this… I don’t know why :(

Not looking forward to doing this I drag myself to work. I had 24 rooms to do with him. Thank God most of them were stayovers, because of an event going on that day (thought Sunday will be the bitch because they all will be checking out this day). Anyway, I get our cart ready and head out, keep in mind our rooms are outside, we are not an indoor hotel. Friday went pretty well. He pretty much followed me around and done what was needed.

Let me explain this a little bit. This guys is from India!! So, is the owner… explains a lot huh??? Aren’t they all???  We do have a couple that works there already and they are so sweet. They help out when needed and try to speak English, if they don’t know that something is they will ask what we call it. This couple is like family to me. I have worked with them for 6-7 months now and will miss them when they go back. BUT, this guy is just plain ANNOYING!!!!

Saturday was BUSY to say the least. We all had some where around 16-17 rooms a piece. So, you were moving your ass non-stop. Our supervisor runs him his own board with his list of rooms and off we all go. OH MY GOD it only gets worse here on out.

Around 1:00pm the supervisor comes flying into one of my rooms and asks me what the hell he did yesterday. I told her he made beds, helped gather trash, stocked rooms with me … and so on. My question to her was WHY???

Well, she went to check on how he was doing, the same thing she does to anyone who just started to make sure they weren’t having trouble with something … like the beds, they can be tricky if you don’t know how they are done. Anyway, I guess he wasn’t picking paper up off anything. LOL… if there was paper on the table he left it there…. OMG… common sense!!! He wasn’t making the beds like they should be, he didn’t put linen in the rooms, he wasn’t bagging his trash that he removed from the trash cans, yes… he pulled those….LOL. He would take the small trash can liners and THROW them out the door!!!! Well, you take your trash bag out of your trash can and THROW it out your door… whats going to happen???? Trash is going to FLY all over the place. Well, this is what happened here as well. THEN he expected SOMEONE ELSE to clean it up for him. What the Hell????

Well, when I finished my room I went to help him. When we help we are to make the beds and nothing more. The cleaning is to be done by the one who the rooms were assigned to. But, I will put the trash and stock the rooms after the beds are made so all they need to do is clean the bathroom, dust and vacuum. Holy shit, he had such a mess I had no idea where to start. It looked like he started a bathroom and then just left the room and went to the next and maybe dusted, left this room and went to the next room and done something there. There was with all his rooms. None for them were totally finished. All of us ended up redoing his 16 rooms.

You CAN NOT tell him anything. I had him the day before, Our supervisor walked him through a room in the morning, and others tried to explain what needed to be done, but it fell on deaf ears. He understands English, his problem is he’s STUBBORN!!! I think he was hired for the purposes of driving us all NUTS!!! Thank god I am off today. I can only imagine what today was like. I thought for sure our supervisor’s head was going to explode!! NEVER did I see her so close to snapping out as I did yesterday…. I don’t blame her. He was wearing every ones patience short. It would have been easier if we all had his rooms instead. We ended up doing them in the long run anyway….

And Sunday was just a repeat of Saturday, only worse because we have not recovered from the day before from dealing with his shit, we all still wanted to choke him.

To top it all off,  this guy is SUPPOSE to be a top housekeeper and all ready knew what to do when he came here…. I would love to know where and how!?!?!?

Good Lord…

Does anyone stay home anymore??? LOL

Work has be a royal pain in the ass the last 2 weeks!! I swear to God we had anywhere from 70 to 130 rooms a day. The last 2 weekend been crazy. When we have something going on in Morgantown we get swamped. Lately we had at least 16 rooms a piece to do. AND… OMG have they been horrible. We found beer bottles behind the beds!! WTF??? Don’t know how to find the trash I am guessing. I know its hard to get up off your ass and walk to the trash can 6 feet from the bed. These rooms look worse then if 5 year olds were left a lone in them overnight … no lie. I have honestly seen teenager’s rooms that looked better when they checked out then their parents or guardians. Why can’t these people clean up after themselves just a little bit?? I wonder how they would feel if I went to their houses and make a huge ass mess and than just walk out the door and leave them to cleaning it. I am pretty sure they would be pissed. OK… I understand that I get paid to do this, but DAMN don’t be a PIG!! It sure as hell don’t make you look good. AND if you MUST make a huge ass mess than LEAVE A TIP for the poor soul that gets stuck cleaning it up. Its only right!!!

Example: I had 3 rooms with construction workers in them. When I went to strip and clean the rooms they weren’t that bad. They pretty much gathered everything up and had it where it should be. The worst part was the mud on the floor that could not be helped. Then I went to a queen room that had a couple in it. Their room was a DISASTER!!! Towels and paper slung all over the room. It looked like a bomb went off!!!!

Ok, I think I am done ranting about work now …. LOL …. Thanks for listening!!

Reunited …

Thank you Myspace!!!

Over the last year I can say that I am happy to have a Myspace page. First there was my oldest daughter who lives in Pa with her boyfriend. I didn’t have contact with her for almost 5 years until I found her on Myspace almost a year ago.  She has grown into a very pretty young lady who has filled some of her dreams. She is very smart and pretty much knows what she wants out of life. I wish I was so sure of what I wanted at her age!! I can honestly say that I am VERY proud of her.

Then about 6 months ago I heard from my best friend from high school, also due to Myspace. She went as far as hiring a private investigator to find me, but turns out in the end he didn’t … she did on Myspace. We used to be joined at the hip when we were in school. She was this rough and touch tom boy that didn’t take shit from anyone. It didn’t matter if you were male or female if she had a problem with you she would let you know. Now she has 2 lovely children, doing well for herself and isn’t as much as a tom boy as she was when we were kids. I still love her to death!

And just recently I found a few of my other friends that I grew up with. I was one of the boys as far as they were concerned. We hung out at each others houses and when you found one you found us all. I have always wondered what happened to my “gang” of friends from the lake were I pretty much grew up. I did find a few of them and its great knowing that they are all still around. I thought about these guys over the years and never forgot how special they were to me :)

Its awesome now that I can talk to them on here (computer) and on the phone. I am thankful for Myspace now!!!!

Twilight the Movie

LOL… sorry I just need to laugh! I bought Twilight at 12:20 am Saturday morning, but didn’t get to watch it until last night with my daughter (thanks to work). I was so excited about having it and ended up waiting any way.

Breanna loved it and I think she will watch it again. She also said that she wants to see New Moon when it comes out in November. I hope she can sit through a movie that isn’t animation. She went to see Happy Feet, Bolt and a few others but they were cartoons. This one isn’t so I guess we will see :)

The movie was good, but did not do the book justest. I  think I would have liked the movie better if I would not have read the book first. There was A LOT left out in the movie and lot was changed too. One of the biggest things about the movie that I didn’t like was they didn’t capture the love Bella and Edward had for one another like the book it. The book gave the impression that they were inseparable, but you didn’t get the same strong love out of the movie. Don’t get me wrong I like the movie and glad I bought it, but I like the book better.

I just can’t wait to see how New Moon is going to be. There is a lot going on in the book and I wonder how much they are going to cut out to make the movie short as possible. I sure hope they keep the movie like the book was written. It is going to be a shame to change it just to make a movie. Wonder how they are going to do Jacob when he turns into the Werewolf?!?!?

Work sure has picked up lately. I am lucky to have the time for scratching my ass let a lone post on here. I try to get on as much as possible, but if you don’t hear from me in a little while its only because I am busy not because I forgot about my readers :) I won’t do that to you!! Plus, the weather is starting to get nice again. Its been miserable here. One day its in the 70’s and the next its in the 30’s. Its no wonder why people are sick. I missed a week of work because of having a cold.

Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner?? Holy shit I am glad to see that winter is on its way out but I can’t believe that Easter is so close. Maybe its because everyday seems to run into one another because of work?!?! I am no where near ready for Easter. It seems like I just got past Christmas now its time for another holiday.

I also found the time FINALLY to get Breanna’s computer networked to the Internet. God, if that wasn’t a chore. Hooking it up was easy, finding the time was horrible, but its finally done. She is having a fit though about Toon Town. Half the time she can’t get on because of a warning about the Internet being disconnected. Then when she does get on she plays for a short time and then is kicked off. As far as I know this is the only site that this happens with. I have no damn idea why, but it drives up both NUTS!!!

I go back to work tomorrow. I was told that we lost 2 employees while I was off, the GM and a housekeeper. It would be so nice if we could find someone who would stay for more than a few weeks, if that. We have the worst turnover possible. I don’t think it’s that bad, but I guess they do. The property is kind of hard to work because it’s all outside, but it’s not worth quitting over. We had one girl who was there for one day and called the following day saying she quit, good lord at least give it a chance!!! It’s a great job for losing weight. I think I lost about 10-15 pound. The bad thing about it was I only weighed 120 when I started. Now they are telling me at work I am going to blow away, this is their fault for working me so hard…. LOL

Just Another Day

Well, I am honest say I am so looking forward to Sunday. I am so tired tonight!!

I deleted my old other blog tonight and added the posts here. I thought this blog was long gone but since I found this one still on-line I decided to keep it :)

I am picking up Breanna’s computer tomorrow from the shop. They cleaned it up and have it running again. The damn piece of junk is going to cost me $100 without the hardware to hook her up to the net. I am going to get a hub and cable for her computer. I was told not to buy a router because they are more of a problem than good. I don’t know… all I do know is I want it hooked up to the DSL box and don’t care how its done anymore!!

Work has picked up lately, I never know when I will be getting off now. Today we had a ton of rooms that has young kids in them. I HATE these rooms. You need a bulldozer to clean them up and I don’t think they been taught manners either!!

Why Are Men Idiots???

I would really love an answer to this question but probably will never know the answer!

My boyfriend must be the LEADER of the group because he is the biggest idiot of the bunch, here is why I say that.

I been working my ass off at work over the last 2 months. We are short on staff so I work A LOT. I guess he has it in his head that I am running around on him instead of working, but yet he knows when I am at work…

Then to top it ALL off he runs his mouth off in the pissy little town he lives in slandering my name. Its kind of funny how I end up meeting this same person he was running his mouth to. This guy gets hired to do some work there and I was introduced to him and he says “EX” right???

I am like WTF are you talking about???????

Well, I am told that the king of idiots (my boyfriend) was in this little diner in town telling everyone that I am cheating on him and there is no way I am working!! WHAT?????????

I could just punch him in the mouth to be honest. I would love nothing more than to rip is tongue out so he can’t talk about ANYONE!! I can not believe this… and this is not the first time his has been this stupid. I left it go the last time only to be going through it again….

THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS PERSON!!!!

I do 1 of 2 things, work or I am at home with my daughter where I belong. My 7 year old has more brains then he does. She thinks hes an idiot as well!! The last time he pulled this she called him a BABY!  Well she was right then and she is right now.

SOOOO, my question is why do guys act like this??? I really would like to know. I have been by myself for the last 5 years and when I FINALLY decide to date again I end up with a moron. Do all guys have an issue with this???
