Been awhile!

Last week was the last week of normalcy at work. Corporate has changed the way they do things at the hotel and now, due to the economy, are cutting hours. I have already let many of my family members know but I would rather lose some hours due to the economy than lose my job! This week is very hard though as I am working overnights to cover a co-worker's vacation. I am used to sleeping from 11pm to 7am and now I am awake until 6am! It is very rough.


We had a meeting at work on Sunday to go over the new plans as well as Thanksgiving schedule and it is going to be crazy. My boss also informed management (supposedly as she has not officially told me but the notes and signs are all there) that she is resigning. She has put in her notice and so we will drastically see the dynamics of work change in the next month or two. I hit my one year mark on December 10th and was supposed to be going for a management position next Spring but with a new boss, who knows about that. One of the reasons I switched my hours up and got a sitter was for the management position. My gut instinct right now is to run. I have hardly seen my family in weeks and I miss them greatly. I almost want to see if I can find a job as a secretary at a animal hospital or ER even. Something where I can go back to being an overnight position and also see my family. I don't know. I promised Jeremy that I will wait it out for a couple months and see what happens. I don't do change well at all. It isn't just my boss leaving that is getting me either. It is the hours change and then a lot of other employees that have already announced their plans to leave due to various reasons. I am losing a lot of friends in a short span of time. I understand that it happens in my type of work but it still burns.

  1. I would advise that you be patient. This is not a good economy to quit one job without another one securely in hand. You can endure nearly anything in the short term to provide for your family's needs.

  2. there is that as well as regardless of the economy, people are still spending money on their animals. So at least I will have a job.
