jianantonicMuch like every other day, I really don't want to go to work today. But Mondays are easy so I'm forcing myself. It's just that I didn't get enough sleep and I could use another 2 to 30 hours in bed. I had my first day actually working at the front desk yesterday. It was good. They told me it'd be weeks before I'd be checking people in, but after watching it done three or four times, I was doing it on my own yesterday. I wasn't great at it (there's a lot more crap to know than you'd think) but mostly it's just memorization. I'll be better at it when I know what all the different promo codes mean (everyone gets a different set of goodies), and where all the units are located. I was having to study the map a little too hard myself yesterday - I don't think I instilled much confidence in any of the guests. Sigh. But I did a great job, considering my training thus far, and everyone told me I was doing really well.
I like the people there, but they're still not quite the kind of people I'd like to be spending most of my time with. Like, at ADF, everyone is an uber Christian Republican closed-minded dimwitted zombie (even though I like most of them I still feel this way about them and they are very hard to have a satisfying conversation with). At the front desk, everyone is in high school or maybe in college but still much younger than I am. They're all quite nice, but there's nothing really good and meaty to talk about. They told me it's okay to bring books and schoolwork and whatnot, so that's probably how I'll spend most of my down time. There are some GREAT benefits of working there. I get free access to EVERYTHING at the resort. Free skiing or tubing anytime I want, free gym (two of them!), free golf (when available), etc. All the stuff I didn't do enough of last year because it was too expensive. AND Jeremy gets in free, too, cause he's my husband. I love that. He's going to teach me how to ski for real now.
So I'm thinking now that I know I can do this front desk thing, and everyone likes me, and there are ALWAYS job openings somewhere on the mountain...I might consider backing out of ADF a little sooner than originally planned. But I really don't want to give up the possibility of that cruise. Truth is, they're gonna have a hell of a time making that goal without my sales. If I do quit, it'll always be one of those "what if..." situations. But even so, I'm not sure a $2000 cruise is worth three more months of agony to me. We'll see. I like the money I'm making these days. I just don't like not having days off.
Peace.
