WHAT THE F***!!!
So, my boss has called for a District Meeting this upcoming Thursday. ARRRRR!!! She has no idea the turmoil and the headache that she has just caused me. Here's the breakdown:
I had a housekeeper quit on Saturday, which pissed me off because I had the opportunity to sell out 100% of my rooms, which is a rarity in the Haba, but I do a pretty good job in filling the place. I was already scheduled to work Night Audit (11p-7a) on Saturday night, causing me to have to leave one of my BFF's Baby Shower early, which sucked because all 4 of the BFF's haven't been in the same room in Lord knows when. I got back to the Haba at around midnight, so I was late. I got off at around 7:30, went to bed, came back in to work second shift (3p-11p) on Sunday. My laundry lady couldn't come in due to her son badly hurting his leg on the trampoline (Yes, a trampoline, folks!!!) So, yours truly had to work overnight Sunday, after getting off at 11, to do laundry, and Lord knows I drop my clothes off at the cleaners FAITHFULLY to avoid such a task! After damn near 8 hrs. of washing, separating, drying, folding, stocking, my back and feet were hurting yall. BAD! So, I passed out at around 8:00 Monday morning.
I got up at around 2 to make the Bank Deposit for Sunday, shit, shaved, and showered to go back to work at 4 (let's not forget I still have all my managerial functions to do!) So, I go in, check my email, and see the email for the meeting and I'm like "WTF!!!" (You know what WTF means, so I won't say it, lol) I forgot to mention that I have a mandatory training class for my staff on Thursday. Well, I did, not anymore of course! Anyways, this means that the class was
cancelled. I then get a phone call from the person who is teaching the class, asking me if I can send my desk staff to Kalamazoo on Tuesday (tomorrow) or Wednesday (the next day) to attend the class at either of those properties. My housekeeper's and Maintenance class will be rescheduled at a later date, she says.
Once again, I'm like "WTF!!!" So after a drastic change in the schedule, I have come to the conclusion that neither sleep nor a weekday life is in the cards for me. I'm already understaffed, so this put me in a real pickle. Basically, I got stuck working desk shifts tonight (11p-7a), tomorrow (7a-3p), tomorrow night (11p-7a), and again Wednesday (3p-11p). Then I have to load up the car and drive all the way to Northbrook (burb of Chicago) for my meeting. WTF, WTF WTF!!!!
On a brighter note, my baby and I are driving to Minnesota this weekend to visit one of my closest friends and his hubby. Well, he's driving, because this Superman will be dead to the world, you hear me! Coincidentally, my sister and her boyfriend are going to Minnesota this weekend as well to visit his daughter. Funny huh? Hopefully this weekend will provide some relief. It should, because my "Gay Mom", drinks, my baby, my sister, and shopping! I'm in for a treat. If I can make it out of this disaster of a week. And the sad part is, it's only Tuesday!

Sup man. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I just read yours. Remember that "unearned suffering is redemptive." In spite of the heavy work schedule and unplanned interruptions of your training calendar, you will look back and laugh at it all when you and Donald Trump and one days exchanging stories about how you built your hotel empires. :)
Enjoy Minnesota.
My gosh! Do you get enough sleep? Hotel Management is something else.
Man you are just a soldier. It's a lot now but it will definetly pay off in the end. You are young and you are doing the damn thing. Take it all in stride and think there is a Mr. Smith at the end of the rainbow!
(*smile*)
hope you enjoy your weekend after all this mess.
