Heyyyyy Allll!!!
Morning!
It's 7:46 am on Thursday (in the future) so I have a few minutes to do a quick post. I just finished all of my duties (hehe...duties is a funny word) for my new reception gig. I have to be up at 5:50, which actually doesn't bother me as I am kind of a morning person. I have to go around and turn off all the outside lights, clean out the smoking shed (yes, there is a shed...for smoking...it stinks!). Then I come in and see what kind of mess the hostel was left like from the night before, clean it all, set everything out for breakfast, stock the fridge, etc. Basically I put the hostel back together so when guests get up it doesn't look like a bomb went off. lol
Every Wednesday is BBQ night. Everyone brings something and then they do a big BBQ for everyone outside. :Yesterday I worked 11:00-9:00, so I was BEAT when I got home. I was not feeling like going and hanging out after the BBQ so I went back to Fritz house and had a shower. Joanne and Frenchie (his actual name is Germain, but he's from Paris...so naturally we call him Frenchie) were hanging out in our room. Then Kerri came over and joined us for some chat's about the day and obviously some venting about the Twilight Zone that we are all living in. We all say every day that if we didn't have each other we would be GONE! It's a nut house here, but makes it very entertaining when you can vent to your friends about it. :)
So I am pretty sure that we still have bugs in our room. Ughhh. I am COVERED in bites! Like everywhere! Even on my neck. Last night I slept in one of the spare rooms (I am not supposed to do that) but there was NO way that I was going to sleep in that bed again. I have no idea what we are going to do, as Dave (the owner) will probably do nothing except say that we brought them in from somewhere. To be honest, I think the whole hostel needs to be sprayed...there is carpet EVERYWHERE and I am sure that this place is infested. What a pleasant thought about where I live..hahaha!
Anyways, I am leaving here at 8:00am when Kerri is up and going to have coffee with Joanne. It's a beautiful day and I don't work till 11:30 today. (god I am so itchy!!!...sidebar!)
So a few things about yesterday:
My work is insane, There is horrible communication with the kitchen and the servers (and managers) so it makes it interesting when it get's really busy and shit starts going sideways. The weird thing is I don't get stressed (Jesse is going "yeah right") but honestly I don't. Maybe it"s because I know I am only there 4 more weeks, or maybe I am learning to deal with it better: I am not too sure. My biggest motto at work is "Don't take anything personally". I am sure that my 3 years working in Sales helped with that, but I just don't. I totally used to, so it's a weird change for me. When someone is rude I just think to myself "they must be pretty unhappy" and I fire them some positive energy. (John- I think of "but-of-course" a lot :)) Thanks for that :)
I got a 5$ tip from a really nice woman even though her food was really late. I just kept communicating with her an apologizing and it was sooo sweet when she tipped me! (Seriously..they do NOT tip here...like at ALL). SO this was HUGE for me :) Made my day!
I was so happy to not have to scrub toilets at the hostel yesterday :) I really don't mind the reception gig at all! I like being up early and getting to enjoy the day. I had been sleeping in quite a bit before.
Oh ya..today I found a drunk guy (guest of the hostel) passed out on the couch in his underwear (or as my UK friends call "pants"). I walked in and he sat up really fast and then ran up the stairs. hahah. It was pretty funny.
Anyways, this is short and sweet but I am done my shift and I am going to eat some breaky and then hit the gym :)
Hope you all have an amazing day!
Do one nice thing for someone today. It will make you, and them feel great :)
Hugs!!!
