Okay, I'm finally fed up with being constantly tired and my body constantly fighting itself on when its bedtime. I want I job that I can actually sleep at night like a normal person. None of this 11pm-7am junk. I miss seeing the sun, I miss sleeping at night...god I miss sleeping at night. I miss having a life. I miss being awake when everyone else is, being able to go out for lunch or dinner without worrying if I've gotten enough sleep to make it through the night. I hate the 8 hours of solitude and boredom. I want a job that I actually have work I can do. Don't get me wrong, its nice the have a job that I can just sit at a computer and goof off pretty much the entire shift, but that makes me feel lazy.
For those who don't know, I'm currently a Night Auditor at an extended stay hotel in Wichita, KS. The pays not horrible and lets face it, the job can't be much easier but oh gawd the hours. I hate the hours. Like I said above, I miss sleeping at night. I'm not wired to be up all night. No matter how long I stick it out at this job, I'll never get use to it. The chances of me being about to move to a FT 1st of 2nd shift Front Desk position is pretty much zilch. We have a girl that is getting fired once a replacement is found BUT she only works two days a week and I need more hours than that.
Part of me would like to hold out for the current girl that works FT Mon-Frid at the Front Desk to be fired but since the Assistant GM likes to flirt with her, I doubt she ever will be. I'm sorry, don't mean to sound bitter but she needs to be fired. She's probably one of the worst employees I've seen in a long time. She's constantly screwing up. She can't seem to make reservations correctly, she has a total disregard for anything resembling professionalism, she has no filter on that mouth of hers, nor does she have volume control, she's consistently 6-10 minutes late every single shift, she can be even later to work just because "she can't find the skirt she was going to wear today," she comes to work every morning with a hangover and just complains through the entire shift change, she can't correctly count the cash drawer for the life of her, nor can she even handle cash correctly period. The drawer is always off at the end of her shift, its always off really weird amounts that don't make sense either. She comes in not even ready for work, she just brings her makeup and hair stuff to work and does everything here. I could go on and on. You know, some of the things she does, I can ignore. Like the constantly being 6-10 minutes late, I mean heck, more time on the clock for me BUT what I do have a serious problem with is her issues with the cash drawer and the lack of a filter her mouth has. She will blab just about anything despite how rude it is. We had a maintenance guy that was fired one morning. He was reliable but he was old and he worked only one day a week and he could only do light maintenance. I would say the guy was at least 70 years old, he was a very nice guy and he always got his work done. Well we got a new GM who decided we didn't need him so one morning, he came in a fired him. The Maintenance guy had a box of his personal items outside the maintenance office. He had a package of underwear in it. Well this Front Desk girl saw the package of clean underwear and apparantly thought it was the most disgusting/hilarious thing ever. SO when she comes to the front desk to relieve me after clocking herself in, she immediantly starts making fun of the poor guy. She was talking to hotel guests about him, she didn't care who over heard or who she told. Luckly the man wasn't around to hear it. I was so angry. Who is she to think she has to right to talk about internal matters to guests? Who is she to think she can make fun of someone who has just lost his job? She doesn't know why he had the underwear, considering his age, for all we know, he could have a bladder problem. Lets see how she likes it when she's his age and has bladder problems. Lets see how she like being laughed at behind her back. I still regret not ripping her a new one right then and there. If I hadn't been totally exhausted from events that happened just before she came in then I would have (a stray dog kept on running into the hotel, so I was busy rangling him all morning.) You know if she had just been talking/laughing to me about it, quietly in the back office, out of earshot of guests, I wouldn't have had as big of problem with it. I would still be angry but at least guests weren't hearing anything.
Anyway back on topic, basically I am going to start looking for a new job. I have my eye on a few, I'm going to apply to some of them tomorrow/today (saturday.) So far my top picks is a Co-Manager position at the local Hobby Lobby (yay for discounts lol,) a Cruise Representative for Royal Caribbean (pretty much making reservations and such so pretty much what I do at a hotel,) and a receptionist at an Autoplaza. Even though I doubt they're hiring, I think I'm going to apply at Michaels just because I've always wanted to work there.
So wish me luck on my job search.
