Happy Valentine's Day!
I guess... *frown* hmm...I wore my cowboy boots today for the first time! Yay! Right?
Well that wasn't very cheery.... and go!
Work sucked, misslightbright's last week and training two new staff on top of it all. One part timer and littlemissselfcentered's replacement. Seriously, I feel like all I've been doing is trying to keep my sanity and this staff/schedule together. I should get paid what I get paid now just for doing the schedule and managing these personalities. Front desk is easy peasy, it's the people who make it hard. Anyhoot, there's that and I'm still taking applications and hoping my two bellmen aren't late. Richard is on vacation for a week so there's one less person ignoring what I have to say.
Giant is moving to Newark. I think I'm the only one between the two of us who's even a teeny bit upset he's moving to Jersey. I love Jersey but there's something bittersweet about moving away from where you grew up. And he's a fine old school New Yorker who's getting pushed out by all the midwestern/southern transplants who dare call themselves NewYorkers after yelling at a cab driver. Duh...who wouldn't yell at cabbies?! They drive like mad! When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Not when in Rome, make it feel like Podunk, USA's wannabe chic & hipster transplants. On the plus side, the Rock is really close to Giant and that I can feel ok about.
My first set of photography books arrived today. I'm not sure if there's a sort of curriculum packet I'm still waiting for though as the books that arrived read like my Amazon.com orders. Regardless I'm excited. Also, excited that I may have to purchase a Mac just to get the best software for this. Macs last just under forever and PCs are just so fickle for some stuff.
Parental unit has an appointment with the doc tomorrow. I wonder if his test results came in. It's funny he always says he's weak minded. But father dearest always convinces himself he's sick every time it gets cold. His mind convinces him he's getting worse and despite doc's giving him the all clear, he'll lie there in bed all day coughing and groaning in pain. Percaset (sp) doesn't work on him! O_o I have no clue how he does it... He's coughing downstairs right now.
Grapegum is back from Europe. Flowers from her dude on the dining room table. It just makes me...
MadRatter is probably on the computer or watching TV til her eyes bleed.
I'm glad it's warmer out today. The groundhog supposedly predicted spring will be here sooner. Witchcraft I tell ya. But I'm just waiting for the rain so I can wear my red Hunter boots. They arrived last week.
