Hellish week

Ok so its now what, Sat morning/Friday night and my week is already gone to hell. Boys are evil from this week already. And then yesterday or rather two days before because I didn’t sleep yet tonight, I had to work with Gerald in the morning. And he didn’t come in till like 9:00 which wasn’t a big deal. But like every phone was ringing and people were checking out and some were leaving early and one was upset by his bill. And another wanted this and that. And on top of everything else. The voice mail system wasn’t working. So if anybody called for the managers (and 2 of them were late that morning) I had to take written messages. Thank God for my training at the law firm. It just kind of kicks in. But it was still craziness. Gerald finally shows up. And what happens? Everything goes silent. Gayle was laughing at me because she knew how frantic I was earlier and now that I had help, I didn’t need it. And then some guest lost his watch and claimed we stole it and that I was being rude. ARG! I hate people like that. There was one guest who had a problem with his bill, but couldn’t stay around to really solve it, so I agreed to look into it and call him when I figured it out one way or another. So I did and called him. Found out today that he called back after recieving my message to talk to the GM. I was shaking when Chuck told me. He was so impressed with how I handeled it and helped him out, he wanted to let my GM know!!! I was so happy! Its really kinda nerve-racking when a guest asks to speak to a GM about you and you don’t know if you pissed them off or not! It was funny once though because Gerald is the AGM and my boss (technically). And this guest called up to make a reservation. And I talked her through it all and then there was a problem, so she asked if she could speak to the manager. I gave the phone to Gerald and he talked to her, then told me she wanted to talk to me again. She proceeded to tell me how she didn’t like him at all and would rather deal with me because I was nicer and not rude! It was all I could do not to laugh in Gerald’s face. She was so cool about the whole thing. It was nuts!

Ok so thinking about that has helped, but yesterday (two days ago…whatever) I was working at the snow started to come. And the phones weren’t working right. And so the phone guy (Jay) kept calling trying to help us fix it. Oh he was funny. Kept making fun of me because I say the same thing every single time. By the end of the day he was reciting it with me! And Kevin had to go out and plow the snow off the walks every 5 mins or so. Everytime he came back in he was covered in snow!! So I started calling him the Ibominable (spell?) Snow Man! He was laughing. But then Chuck (my relief) called in and said he wasn’t coming in because of the snow and he was sick anyways. So Gerald wanted me to work till 11, cause he was convinced I wasn’t going home anyways and there would be no rehearsal. I was like screw that! I’m going home, even if rehearsal is cancelled! Gerald can stay if he wants. I really don’t like him. Everyone says how much they like him and how hard he works. But all I see is the crappy job he does and the stupid things he says. ARG! Another stupid annoying male. And he was touching me again!! He keeps picking the hair off my abck and I hate it when he touches me. There or anywhere. He was like “Why do you women shed so much?” I have long, thick hair. It sheds. Get over it! And stop touching me. I hate it when he touches me. Even if its like picking hairs off my jacket or if he ever dared to tuck my tag in I would flip. I just don’t feel comfortable with him around. UGH!

So at 3pm I left to go home. A 10 min drive took me over an hour because of the snow. And I stopped and got Chinese for me and Mommy. It was nuts. Thankfully I didn’t have or cause or see an accident. Everyone was going really slow because it was so bad. But I couldn’t believe how many cars were out on the road. So I got home and I was dead tired. I thought I had rehearsal at 5pm, but Heather called and let me know it had been cancelled completely for that day. Which helped, because then I could sleep. I slept for forever. I didn’t get up till like 9:30 the next day. Mommy was leaving so I watched TV and ate breakfast. And then Dorkface called and was like “hi i’m in kuwait. getting ready for war. how are you?” I almost jumped over the telephone line and strangled him. I had just been watching on TV a news briefing about the UN and all the other crap and I was already upset about it and then he calls with his bright news!!! Pisses me off so damn much!! And then he made me late to the rehearsal we had during school today, because I was upset and all weired out. That night I did get to see Jenn, which is always a crazy good thing to do. We laugh so much. Then Heather called and I picked her up for the play. And she was upset because of her stuff (her deal not mine – not gonna put it here). And we ended up blaring music on the way to school. And 3 Doors Down song came on that makes me think of Dan and I was a mess when I got to school. And Garret came up to me and was like “you’ve been crying. Why have you been crying?” And I really didn’t want to tell him. But I had been crying. And then we had the famous opening night note session. Basically all the advisors give last piece of advice and good job to everyone – pep talk type thing before we go on and there are a few gifts given, etc. And Sie leaned over to me and went “this is my last opening night!” and started crying. And I had been ok until she started and then I almost started because of Dan and because I realized how much I really missed everyone here and doing this kind of thing. But mostly because of Dan. And so I left really quickly and Nick gave me this weird look. And Deste (DESTE CAME YIPEE!!) and I were talking in the hall and I told her about DeYoung and she flipped out at him. But it was good to see her. And I saw a ton of other people and that was really nice. But damn boys and Dan ruined it for me. I was tempermental all night. After the show we went to SkyHigh and played pool. I couldn’t play for shit because I was upset and basically because I can’t play for shit. And it was ok, but a little trying on my nerves. So I left to go to work, making a stop at the Dunkin Donuts Melinda said wasn’t open (ITS DUNKIN DONUTS OPEN 24/7 STUPID TAMPOON!!), and poor Chuck didn’t know I was going to be so late! Gerald either didn’t hear me or didn’t tell him how late I was going to be. Oh, that made me mad because I felt bad for Chuck having to wait so long for me, without knowing! That just wasn’t fair. But he knows about tomorrow night now so it will be ok. And if I go out I’ll def call him and tell him that I will be in late. Course I won’t tell him I’m going to party, but oh well. Hilton can pay for his overtime, because I told Gerald before he hired me that I couldn’t work these two weekends. And he scheduled me anyway and said that I would just have to come in late. So he can explain that to Mr. Dooley. What a name for an owner! We should all be called Doolettes or something. Oh well.
