Motel For Sale

       I came into work today and of course Lee was bitching for 30 minutes about us employees. I just tuned her out, nodded my head and eventually she gave up trying to get a response out of me and just left. I am finding that tactic works quite well. In the mean time she said we can expect another nasty memo from her. "Whoopee. What else is new?" I didn’t say that though, ha ha. I wanted to, and so much more.

     Ish has been here for the past four hours working on rooms. Replacing tile, repainting/finishing furniture on the inspection list. (If we don’t fix what’s on the list they double the points they gave you the first time, the more points you have on an inspection list, the worse your score will be.) What perked my interest though, is sure he’s  fixed things on prior inspection list, but never with so much gusto. The second this list got here he has been hard at work. It’s not like we had a bad score either, in fact it was the best score we’ve had since being here. We were almost an A (and for a 10 yr old motel thats REALLY good, only new hotels/motels usually get A’s.) So I asked him why he was working so hard and he said so they don’t double our points. I was like ANNNNNNNNNND you got a better offer on the motel. He’s like yeah, I have a standing offer of 2.9 million , I could sell this place in the next 24 hours. He’s been asking 3.1 million for the longest time, and the highest any bidder got was 2.8 .   So it is only a matter of time before some one offer’s him his asking price. Especially the guy offering 2.9 .  What’s another few hundred grand right? Chump change for these fellas.

      I hate to see Ish leave this hotel. I like working for him, and he’s been really good to me. But maybe in the long run, the next owners might have some "balls" and put Lee in her place. Maybe I might even get a better pay too. Because suddenly 7 bucks an hour to put up with my manager isn’t enough to keep me here. I already am finding myself scanning the Sunday and Wednesday papers. I like my job, and the benefits of it like being able to do my home work and stuff here, but it suddenly doesn’t seem worth the headache the manager puts on me.

    What is even worse, I don’t have a life. So this freakin’ job is all I write about in here. I know my faithful readers are tired of reading about it, tired of me complaining about it, just as much as I am tried of writing about it. Everyone asks me why do you stay? Why put up with it? I wouldn’t!  The truth is I don’t want to quit. I don’t want that on my resume. Of course I don’t want to be fired either. If I have held out this long, what’s a few more months? What other job will let me do my homework while I work? Work around my school schedual? I also have seniority here. I don’t want to be the newbe someplace else! Ha ha. Anyway, Ish is still serious about selling and I wonder what that means for everyone who works here. He’s not being up front and honest about it though. I have to ask him the questions. He could be lying for all we know, bluffing. Who knows?

Anyway.

    Already Rachel and I have begun to lose contact it seems. Which I figured would happened when she moved even though we both swore it wouldn’t. Her life now wraps around Tommy and their apartment together. Which is to be expected. I know if I ever got the chance to live with Frank I might be oblivious to the rest of the world for a while. It makes me sad though, because we had just got out friendship where it needed to be and then she up and moved. But maybe that’s what was needed in order for us to move on in our lives too. To grow up and work things out. I am not saying we don’t talk, because occasionly she responds to my messages, but not very often. In fact up until last weekend, I hadn’t talked to her in a couple weeks. =/  I am not really MAD about it. Just sad. Friends who move away lose touch. I know, it happens to me all the time. To be perfectly honest I am tired of loving people from a distance. It just isn’t fair. I am tired of working so hard at keeping ties together when they just keep falling apart again. I am really glad she’s happy though, and that she’s found a good decent guy. I hope they work out. I am not saying our friendship is doomed and might as well be forgotten, but I can garuntee it’s going to be on the back burner for a while. =/

    On a happier note, Frank has become very affectionate. More so than usual. Very clingy and lovey and just, more adoring of me. I wonder if it’s because now we share such a memorable trip together. Not that our relationship was in a slump, but now we have something exciting that we did and share together you know? It kind of revived us. I am definately not complaining thats for sure. I also think now that he has a steady job and pay check he is able to enjoy life a bit more so it just makes him an overall happier person. I really like all the affection he’s been doting on me. Haha. I feel so spoiled and I don’t even care. I have come to rely on him so much for so many things though that I wonder if he thinks I am too needy. I rely on him for friendship, for intimacy, for advice, for entertainment, because he’s the only one I share my time with anymore.  He has become my greatest friend. =)    Sorry, talkin’ about him makes me mushy haha. I love my Frank =)
