My rut

Mike and mom are both still worrying about me. How I'm barely working at the job I've got (only 2 days a week) and how, so far, none of the jobs I've tried for have panned out. They both want me to look outside the hotel industry. And I do. But so far the hotels are the only ones who even call me back for interview. And not even most of them.

Mom's planning on quitting her job soon, shes tired of the constant travel. They both want to move forward on their new plan of buying and remodeling houses for resale. And my being a half-employed lump living with them doesn't help.

Mike also floated the idea of moving out to Texas, to San Antonio. And I'd love living near my little brother again. But if I learned one thing from my move to Colorado years ago, and I learned more than one thing, its that I'm not moving out of state without either a job already lined up or some significant savings to hold me over...

Job?

Got an interview on Monday. For an Embassy Suites. They're looking for a night and day person. So I'm not hopeful. But I'm still gonna try for it...

Sent out applications for a couple non-CDL driver jobs. I've got a perfect driving record so maybe I can make that work for me. Because my attempts for another hotel job are going nowhere...

grr

Dear Best Western people:

Thank you for leaving me with the impression from my interview that you were intrested in employing me. And then continuing to run ads for the positions I applied for. Still offering the $9-$11/hour salary you have no intention of honoring.

Kindly fuck off and die. Bastards.

Unless of course you decide to give me a job, in which case I'm happy to join the team! *thumbs up*

Well, I think this one went very well. I should hopefully be hearing from them tonight or tomorrow. It looks extremely likely that I'll get the part-time Friday/Saturday gig at least.

Oh yeah

So I had an interview this afternoon. All the way out in Fountain Hills. Basically about a 50 mile drive there and back. I think I did a decent job selling myself. And I've got the skills to do the job.

Place is very nice if very high end .

Job interview tomorrow afternoon. With a resort hotel out in Ft. Hills. This place is probably sooooo out of my league. But its the first real opportunity thats come up at all in the last month...

So I had an interview today. I think it went pretty well. Kinda upscale airport location. At least the hotel LOOKS upscale, but I don't know what they charge or anything. But they're looking to have multiple people working the audit shift, which is cool. Airport locations are generally pretty busy with distressed passengers and what not, so that means even the middle of the night can suddenly turn busy. Plus I forgot to ask what the pay was. :shrug: Still they said I'd probably hear from them by Friday.

I'm also waiting to hear back from another place up on the freeway, a Mainstay Suite. I'd actually rather get this one. Small property, picky about who they rent to from what I overheard while filling out the application. They called me after getting my resume and had me come down at a specific time, but didn't interview, which was a little odd. But I like the slack potential of this place more.

Haven't heard anything back from the other 4 places I sent resumes to. And I've still got a couple where its just "come down and fill out an app" for contact info. But I'm hopeful.

Power napped for a couple hours to restore myself to some semblance of normal mental behavior for tonight. And then tomorrow I get to get up early again for the bloody Safety/Desk & Driver meeting. Why the fuck they moved these things from Friday, one of our slower days, when at least ONE of the auditors would be awake is beyond me. Plus Wednesdays are often busy with both check-outs and check-ins so Martha gets slammed with NO ONE else to help, not even housekeeping as they're all at the meeting...

Job Interview in like less than an hour. Which I stupidly agreed to 1 Pm instead of 3 Pm like they offered. So I'm kinda out of it with the lack of sleeping...

This week is one of shorting on sleep. Didn't sleep enough yesterday, won't today and have to get up early again tomorrow so I can go to the wunderbar safety meeting and not risk losing my chance at quarterly bonus moneys...

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!

So after taking out 100 bucks for a new tire, gas and food; I've still got around TWICE what I normally would after getting paid. Yeah, no way in hell I'm going back to a 16 hour week. Time to get serious about job hunting.

I hate job hunting. I don't deal well with people when first meeting them. I'm a very introverted person until I get used to people, then I'm extroverted.

Well I started sending out resumes to a few places looking for Night Auditors, at least the ones looking for part time people.

I don't know if I'll ever get more hours at my current job. Which sucks, because I LIKE this job. I like the management, the hotel, the location, even the owners. But 2 shifts a week only works because I live with my parents. And that is slowly, ever so slowly, driving me mad.

I mean mad in some new way.

Payday.

yay...

2 weeks work and less than 35 hours...

On the one hand I as always enjoy all the free time...Pity I don't do anything with it...

Plus I'm never going to move out or replace the older stuff I own (computer, car, etc...) unless I get serious about finding more work...

Must overcome natural laziness...Become giant, sweaty dynamo of ACTION!
