Jobs.

Hey all,
 Sorry I have not blogged. So many crazy things have been happening. Actually, thats a lie.. not too much has happened. Lets start off with my job... the big one. As you know the hotel I work in is also alongside with a casino... about 5 days ago they decided to bring the Boarding Pass making (players cards, frequent gambling cards if you will) to the front desk. You need to be 21 to make those. I was under the impression (we knew about this months ago) that they would work around the fact that my best friend Laurie, this kid Peter, and I were all under 21... Well like I said 5 days ago, they called us all in (well I was already working) and said we were going into a boarding pass meeting, But first we stopped by our Hotel Directors office. They had Laurie and Peter wait in a meeting room while they (my Manager and Director) had me in the office. The director sat down and said "I wish I had you in here for good news, but I dont...." my heart dropped.... they had basically decided to lay off me and the other two under 21 agents. We are the only 3 in the company. I panicked I didnt know what to think. I had given this job my ALL for 2 years, and they just deopped me like nothing. Did I feel hurt? Absolutley. These people, all of them, were like my family and I had to leave them.... I was escorted out right away, and had to leave. Now, this isnt a completley horrible story, lucky for me they had a few job options available. Starbucks barista, they made less than me. Housekeeping, no judgement, but not for me.... I hate cleaning.... they made the same as me, and last but not least PBX (operater) they make the same as well. Now all of these positions are on call... meaning no set schedule, no paid vacation days. I took PBX. I feel like I am taking a million steps back after working so hard to get to where I was at the front desk, but I have to look at it as a learing opportunity. I remember when Landon got laid off when we first moved down here. It sucked... bad, but we made it through and it has turned our to be more amazing then ever expected. I know there is a plan, or a reason behind this what it is I dont know yet, but I am so grateful for all the opportunites I have had, like being a GSE, or being in a commerical. I am also so grateful for all of the connections I have made at Palace Station. My managers, directors, assitant managers, and general managers have been amazing. I am throughly grateful for a temporary job until I can find full time work. So thats pretty much it. I am ok, everything is fine, and I am happy for the change... whats life without trials right? haha I am blessed to have the life I do. For my amazing husband, our crazy pups, our families, our home, our health, and last butnotleast.. The Gospel.
