busy busy busy

So, it's been a fairly busy Friday and Saturday night. Which is good because this shift is a lot more fun when I stay busy. Apparently there is a Carrie Underwood concert tonight, but I didn't know about it. It's good for business though. We have a lot of young people in house tonight too. It's still too early to tell, but I think it's going to be an interesting night. I can't stand it when people over 21 get a room for minors to party in. Let me tell you though, it's really fun for me to crash their fun. All of them think they are so smart and try to tell me shit like "you don't know who I am, my dad is blah blah blah" . I had one of them tell me once that their dad was the sheriff. That worked out for me though. I told her to go ahead and have him come with the officers that were already on their way. She was so mad at me. You'd think a sheriff (turns out he really was the Sheriff) would have more sense than to let his 16 yr. old daughter go out to get drunk and high with a bunch of 18-19 yr. old guys. That was one fun party to bust. Anyhoo, I know I'm probably going to wind up evicting someone tonight. Oh well. Oh, I am so pissed right now. I have hired 3 different people now. The 1st guy actually sent his roommate here his first day and his roommate said, "he got another job, can I have this one instead of him?" PLEASE!!!! Damn losers. The 2nd person I hired just didn't bother to show up and when I called her she said "she's not here" when I know it was her. Then the 3rd person I really thought was going to work out because he had worked here before in a different department and we "knew" him and he needed a job, had been looking for about 2 months. So, what do you know, as soon as I hire him, he goes out and gets a much higher paying job. So, this isn't much of an advertisement, but if anyone out there needs a job I NEED AN EMPLOYEE. I am just pissed about it. Why is it so hard for people to come to work? Why even bother with an application and an interview if you're just not going to come? I just can't understand it. And working here is so unlike working in any other profession. You're so free to do your own thing as long as you have excellent customer service. I couldn't imagine getting out of the hotel business. I had a really drunk guy last night come in and try to rent a room. He was a funny drunk, not a mean drunk, so I went ahead and rented to him. He kept yelling that I was a sexy hot bitch. It was strange, especially when an older couple came walking in and caught the tail end of what he was yelling. I just politely had him escorted up to his room. No harm done. So, I haven't had time to watch CSI in 2 whole days and am really going through some major withdrawal. Pathetic, huh. Oh well, I like it so I don't care if it is pathetic. My mom got my daughter the cutest little dress for Christmas. I'll have to post some pics. later someday. My mom is in Rhode Island. I'll probably talk about her a lot. I moved to this shitty state to be closer to her and then she moves to Rhode Island to go work with the Department of Defense. I am just thankful with her being a paralegal her whole frickin life and my lawyer dad, that I didn't end up in that shit. Hotel work is a lot more fun. Not necessarily less stressful, but definitely more fun. That lady I just checked in is going to see Carrie Underwood. She said she liked Clay better than Ruben. Too bad for her. Maybe people don't want to work for me because I am so young. Well, I look younger than I am. Maybe people are put off by that. I have worked in this business for almost 7 yrs. now though. I just need to let it go and wait for my next batch of candidates. Hopefully I'll get a lot of apps. in this week. I guess my schedule just going to be messed up until then. I swear behind the scenes of the hotel is such a soap opera. I think they could turn us into a TV show and then I'd finally be rich and be able to buy my daughter whatever she wanted. And me too. And I guess my husband too. And all my kitties. I wonder if anybody actually reads other peoples blogs. Do they? It'd be almost like reading somebody's diary or journal or something. Weird. My "counselor" told me to start an anger log. So what if I yell at people in the grocery store for doing moronic things. Maybe they wouldn't be so stupid if someone had taught them manners and proper etiquette, which no one seems to know anymore. So, I guess I'm wrong for wanting to bring it to their attention. I don't think I'm wrong. I'm just glad nobody's tried to kick my ass yet. I'd deserve it. Well, I haven't been back to see him since. I think I just need to lose weight and get back to where I was before 3 kids (my first 2, I put up for adoption) and I'll be a lot happier on the inside. It's hard but I'll get there someday. It's so much fun to just ramble on and on and not have anyone tell me to shh or talk over me or interrupt me. I can just say everything I can't talk to anybody about. Of course I know not to say too personal. This is the Internet right?!! I just feel this way because my husband is really the only person I even remotely have to talk to besides my mom and he talks a lot. I mean a lot. So, I have to be aggressive when I actually want to talk to him about something and most of the time it's just not worth the effort especially when I know he's probably not listening to me anyway and he'll have no idea what I said 5 minutes later. So, this is nice to just vent for awhile. My sister lives in an apartment behind my house so she's around a lot and my husband watches her son when she's at work. After I moved back to this state she was still in VA with her son and her husband who was in the Air Force. So about 2 months after I moved, his dumbass got kicked out of the Air Force and they had 24 hrs. to get out of their base housing. So they moved here and moved in with me. Then, one night in the kitchen, he smacked her with a towel and I went off on him and told him not to hit my sister and a bunch of other shit. I was really mad though. So, he takes my nephew and leaves with all his stuff. We figure he must have had it planned since he had all his stuff already packed. So, she gets a DVP and gets her son back. So then they filed divorce papers against each other and are in the process of that now. So what does he do? He gets back together with his 1st wife. 2 days ago he calls and tells my sister that he was through with his girlfriend. Of course, being the naive idiot that she is sometimes, my sister has illusions of getting her husband back. Why she wants him I have no earthly idea. So today he tells her that he is back together with "the other woman" and that she's pregnant. Oh, I think my sister is going to like blow up or something. I just can't understand why she even cares. I told her she should be happy because I don't think that will look good at the custody hearing. But who knows? I know I really don't want to hear her whine about it for the next month. But, I'll listen, I always do. Poor poor girl. My life would just be so less dramafied if I never talked to other people. The only drama in my own personal life is money shit but then you throw in all the trouble involving the people I'm close with and that's where the soap opera comes in to play. It's getting cold in here and I think the heat is up all the way. It actually snowed the other day. That was nice, I really like snow. I just wish it would cover more stuff and stay around longer. Everything just always seems so much more laid back when there's 2 ft. of snow on it. I've got some work to do now, I'll probably blabber on a little later.

I don't like titles

So, my daughter is at the sitter and I have about 2 hours before I have to get ready for work. I really don't like night shift anymore, I seem to have gotten over wanting to control the losers of the night. At least they are better here than they were in Virginia Beach. Now, I'll get maybe 5 people a night that you know is thinking really hard about either robbing you or raping you. Either way wouldn't be good for me of course. I love my job, I would just prefer to stick to day shift. Hotel work can be such fun. You never know who you're going to meet. Plus, my daughter can visit when I miss her and not very many jobs will let you do that. I also get to meet a lot of cops which is good because after all the CSI I watch, I think I have a thing for them. Very, not ever gonna happen, but you never know and they're fun to talk to. I don't think my man would appreciate that thought but I'm sure he knows about my infatuation with cops. Next week is my work Christmas party and I am really not looking forward to that. I have to buy a damn dress and that is depressing because I am totally broke right now. Not to mention the money everyone expects you to spend on them with the gift cards and the Christmas cards and I'm like I need to pay my rent. My landlord doesn't give a shit about my Christmas plans. Neither does the gas or the water people. My coworkers just keep telling me all this stuff I need to buy for people because they expect me to do it because I'm a manager. I make 8.30 an hour people. My man is too lazy to get a job and I still have to buy Christmas presents for my daughter. Yes, she is only a year old but she should get some presents. So, I really am beginning to hate Christmas. It's all about the presents and the food for me anyway beacuse I'm an atheist but it's just so damn expensive. Now I am trying to lose weight so instead of eating when I'm bored I hoping to just come on here and rant for a bit. It's not like I have anybody else to rant to.
