Hey....
go to www.meshuggah.wordpress.com for my new blog.
short, but sweet. HA!
Hey all. Just a small little update.
Since I wrote last I am still at Redefined Property Services working my little bootie off. I have received checks from him and they are being honored just fine, but have decided that this is an added stress that I do not need. I love working for the company and I think my boss is a wonderful man, but having even the slightest worry of not being paid is well worth leaving. I was offered a job working for Dolphin Bay Inn Hotel & Residences and gladly accepted. My mom actually works there! LOL. But she is the Assistant to the Director of Housekeeping. Not the department I will be working in. I will actually be doing front desk, taking reservations and concierges. They pay is less than what I get here, but I am guranteed a paycheck and I get full benifits after a short period of time. I have to wear a uniform too! LOL. A gray pencil skirt with a blue blouse, black cardigan and a scarf. It's a pretty cool little uniform. I don't mind. I haven't had to wear one since I worked at Marie Calenders back in '03. Well, I had to wear a vest at OSH, but that doesn't really count.
I start next Monday. I am so excited!! After I am there for a couple of weeks, I am going to search for a second job. I am going to work as much as I can. I am making it right now, you know, but I need to start saving up money. There is a spa there that offers a %20 discount and hopefully the yoga classes will be only $5 for employees soon. That is another thing I am excited about.
I just got back from a very long, but much needed two week vavcation. This is how it went...
Saturday the 16th we flew into Denver from San Jose. We got in about 11:30pm, got to the house, had a piece of toast and went to bed. We got up the next morning, ate breakfast, got ready and went to the airport to fly into Salt Lake City. When we arrived in Salt Lake, we hopped on the shuttle to get to the car that Mary had left for us. Got in the car, put the keys in the ignition and... nothing. Apparently she had left the XM radio on in the car for over a week and drained the life outta the battery. So the airport emergency people guy dude man person thing came with his big alternator contraption and blasted life back into the battery. Get back in, try to adjust the seats; nothing. So all along were driving from Salt Lake to Island Park, Idaho with the legs stretched as far as humanly possible because the seat was in the all the way back position. LOL.
I feel asleep in the back seat because if I am not driving, then I am terribly bored and I definitely needed the sleep. I slept all the way from Pocatello to Island Park! (Google map it and you'll see how far that is.) Got to Island park, unloaded the car and went to sleep.
Monday morning we get up and try to figure out why the hell the seat won't work. Can't. Spend most of the morning doing that then beg to go into Yellowstone for the day. Got into the park, went to Old Faithful, watched some geysers go off, had some lunch, saw some wildlife (see my flickr photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/feven) and went back to the trailer. Had some dinner, played war for about two hours and went to bed. Got some very good and much needed sleep.
;-)
Tuesday woke up to Gary's cell ringing. It was Jim telling us that when the guy at the airport jumped the car he also blew something that involved the functioning of the seat so they had to order a part. Mary and Jim came back and we took a drive to Gardiner, Montana through the park. Stopped off at Mammoth on the way and had to hucklberry icecream (friggin' yummy) and saw some elk (see pics). Drove back, had dinner and wine and went to bed. Another good nights rest.
Wednesday, hung out at the trailer, took some pics, went for a walk down a trail to a busted up boardwalk (reminded me of a scary movie) that went out to the endge of the Madison river, came back and well shit. I can't really remember what else we did that day. LOL.
Crap, I need to go.
