So my life continues to play cruel little jokes. Just as things start to look good and jobs start heading my way, I get a job at a hotel. I went out bought myself some suits, and started working my ass off to learn everything there is to know, a week later they cut my hours (cuz the girl that originally left wants her hours back). So technically I still work there, yet i haven't worked in a week and a half, and any other jobs I may have had a chance with are now also gone. So now I have to start all over again in my hunt, but on the plus side, i now know i look pretty damn good in a suit, hahaha. Anyway I plan to go plant trees in northern Ontario in May (assuming my appointment at the allergist goes well, beause trees and I haven't been the best of friend lately) and until then I'll just try to find whatever job I can, or if something better comes along I'll stick with that for awhile. either way I have A LOT of work to do before I can head out on my next adventure...Wednesday, March 07, 2007
Trying to remind myself there's a good reason why I'm broke and cold and have to work my ass off for the next few months

yup! I hear you on the sucky hotel bit! I went to school for 2 years in Hotel & Restaurant Management, graduated got a job in Aug at a hotel, worked ridiculously long hours, no breaks sometime 13 days straight, then I went from Thanksgiving to December with only 1 shift. That's the hotel life! No stability, who can pay rent on no shifts!!! So I totally understand your frusteration with hotels! I'm not even working in one now, and I have no plans to do so in the future!
Hope you are getting better luck now!
Cheers, Hil
