Well after a long job search I finally found one. I am now working for the super eight motel in Lamar. Today is my first day of training and I have to leave in not too long to go in. I have to wear black slacks, a white shirt and closed toed shoes. I don’t think that cleaning rooms will be a bad job because I can speed clean like no other. I am sure they will have to walk me through the rooms and show me how to do everything and I hope that I will remember it all fast.
I am a little concerned with finding things in the rooms that I do not want to clean up but I guess that is my job now. Gloves I am sure are part of work uniform so I won’t get dirty. The hotel is a really nice one. It has been renovated and the family that runs it is good friends with mine so I think everything will work out good. To be honest the reason I got the job is probably because my family is friends with them. But right now they are bustling with business because people that were traveling and got caught in the storm are taking shelter there. I am sure it will slow down after this but then there is spring break and after that the traveling season really starts up. It will be nice to have a job again and actually have money. I am so tired of asking my dad for it every three seconds. Surely it will be minimum wage but that is better than nothing for sure. I am really grateful that I found this job because I have applied everywhere in Lamar and even in Pittsburg but the economy is just not in good shape around here unless you are a gas company.
All I can say is thank goodness my nice neighbors dug us out of the three foot of snow so I could go to work and so could my dad. I am already sick of this snow but I did have some fun in it. I made a sled out of a laundry basket and tow straps and my friend and I attached it to her car and got up to 20mph on the snow. We also made forts like we were about four years old but I had never seen enough snow to make one. Well I had better continue getting ready for work. I have never had to balance a job and school before…… I am sure it will not be too bad!
Congrats on the new job! That’s actually a pretty good just my sister actually does that at a Marriott hotel. But I’m sure you will do just fine good luck with it and have fun!
ReplyDeleteKathleen, I am glad you were able to find a job especially considering our current economic condition. I am sure you will get things down pretty quick, but be careful with what you find while cleaning some of the rooms. My first boss actually use to work with his mom in the same type of job as a maid, but at a the super 8. To make a long story short he said he always came across drugs while cleaning, so pay attention to what is being cleaned! I am sure that you will do fine with balancing school and work, my sister does.:)
