Well. I guess I should try this thing out. I'm not sure if anyone is going to read it, but here's a little about my life over the past few months and what's happening now....
In September I was picked up and moved out of sleepy little Palm Coast, FL by one of the girls that I worked with to come down to work in beautiful Key West, FL. A permanent vacation, or so I thought. I packed up my car, said goodbye to my family and friends, and made the journey, alone, to a new place and new people. If anyone knows me, then you know how things like this would affect me, both mentally, physically, and emotionally. Mentally, I was still 2 classes away from finishing my Bachelor's degree (which I finished in December). Physically, I was so comfortable being able to run (if you don't know, I run marathons and have completed 3 so far, and am working on training for my 4th/5th one) where I want to and when I want to and I had a perfect schedule at the place that I used to work at to allow me to do that. Emotionally, I wasn't sure how I was going to survive being away from my family and friends in a new place, a new atmosphere, and alone. But all of that has come and gone. I have a "set" schedule, but it really doesn't allow me time to run. Mentally, my brain gets fried everyday that I am at work. And emotionally, I have met the man of my dreams who takes care of me, and I have made it back a few times to visit my family and friends, and I have met an amazing group of people that support me in everything that I decide.
Now for the fun part. I work for an amazing company, or again... So I thought. It gets funnier and funnier everyday. Things change without you knowing about it, until the next time you get to work. The company that I work for is thinking that they can turn a profit within the first 6 months of them opening. NEWSFLASH.... Not going to happen. It doesn't happen to any business, let alone one that is suffering because of the economy and the lack of tourists.
Well. The people that brought me down here, left before Thanksgiving and moved to Colorado. After Jessica left, I basically took over some of her tasks, which UNFORTUNATELY included writing the schedule. And that seemed to consume my week at work, from the moment I walked in on Wednesday morning, to the moment I left on Friday afternoon.
Let this be it for now... I'm starting a new position tomorrow morning... Guest services manager. I want to put the F&B world behind me for a while, while I concentrate on the fact that the company, Spottswood Management, Inc., has created this job for me because they feel as if I can do it. I need to concentrate on putting my all forward....
Later.
