I am so looking forward to the hotel, B&B, and spa getting back to normal-ish staffing levels so that 1) I can get back to f/t hours, and 2) schedule myself for actual day shifts once in a while. And perhaps that will lead to getting a raise!

As of now I am officially doing the scheduling for the hotel and B&B - the spa handles their own scheduling, even though they do borrow two of the housekeepers to help on the days they don't have their own spa attendant. I just make sure to enter that into my schedule when I do it up so I know not to call them in for housekeeping.

I'm also officially doing the ordering for all the accommodations properties now, which requires me to find out what we need for each one, and do up a list for the owners to use to go shopping. If we need any alcohol I have to pull up the NLC website so I can get the SKU number for each item we are ordering from there as well as the size of the bottle and name of the item or we end up with some really cheap stuff being brought in. Not that the wine we usually buy is super expensive, but she's bought some wines that were absolute plonk because they were dirt cheap, so to avoid that we make sure to include what exactly we want.

With f/t hours, I will be able to get health benefits through work. Anything that will help pay for my meds will be much appreciated, especially because my diabetic supplies are not cheap so I have a tendency not to check my blood as often as I should, and I've been doing everything I can to not end up on insulin. But with health benefits in place, the cost won't be holding me back as much.

I also like the fact that afterhours I can head up into the spa and make use of one of their massage chairs. I had joked about it last week, but I've been given the go-ahead by management now. This makes me a very happy camper, as you can imagine. The chair even massages your butt! I may take advantage of that tonight...

Also, the owners are working on fixing all the issues with our vitality room so that will be inspected and open soon enough as well. And once we figure out where the weights went for our weight bench I will start using that to help with building up my arm and leg strength again.

But for now, I'm going to run away as my shift is almost over!

So, I've been verbally given a three month eviction notice due to my landlord wanting to renovate the apartment I've been living in for almost 12 years. And he's made it clear that he will not entertain the idea of me coming back once the renovations are done. Yes, the place needs some work - I've been here for 12 years so wear and tear are only natural. Of course, the day he needed into the apartment was a day where the place was a state. I'd just worked my last day of a string of five days in a row and housework needed to be done. Five days worth of dishes in the sink, garbage that was in the process of being collected to put out on garbage day, and laundry that was in the process of being washed, dried, folded, and put away. Plus stuff on the floor because I'd been going through my collection of doom bags and boxes so I could get rid of more things I don't need or have room for. It clearly wasn't putting the best look out there for my landlord to see,...

So, I didn't get everything out of the basement common area by the end of October. I got a LOT of it out, but there still remains some items that desperately need to go. I just haven't had the spoons to do it yet. Such is life when your health, mental and physical, decide to have other ideas. Obviously, I'm still working away at it all, and making progress too! A week ago, during my last two days off from work, I finally put together the free shelving thingy I got from Temu and started putting things on it. Talk about a huge difference from having things all over the counter! Organization of my kettle, various water bottles and travel mugs, spices, cereal, and other things have been accomplished and I have actual working space on the counter now. Given the space and time (and another shelving thingy at some point) I'll hopefully be able to turn the top of my mini-fridge into a coffee station and get rid of the two milk-crates I'm currently using to hold canned goods...

Ex got his ass fired on Valentine's Day...what a loser

-
The ex no longer has a job - he was termed on Valentine's Day. I can only wonder exactly what goes through a person's head to continue to do the same stupid thing repeatedly. Clearly he's not all that bright if it means that he has yet to learn a lesson out of all of this. But I also think he tends to think he'll always get bailed out whenever he screws up like he apparently always does. When he told me that he always loses his jobs the same way, I thought maybe he felt guilty about it all and wanted to make a change. Obviously not. Whenever I eat in the food court at the mall I work in I keep expecting his mother to approach me to ask what happened. Or to give me shit for not making her son a priority. Frankly, I'd love her to try giving me shit because I'd tell her - mother to mother - that she raised a selfish idiot who refuses to learn from his mistakes or is just too stupid to figure out that how he chooses to go on is no way to live. What is he goi...
