When does it get better?

Today was just one of those dad where you wish it never happened. I woke up extra early, well actually I didn't sleep good and woke up at 3 something, 5 something and finally 6:30. I thought I would have to be up earlier because the Princess Half Marathon was today it started at Epcot and went through the Magic Kingdom and they closed off a lot of roads for it, so I figured my route to work would be closed. It wasn't, in fact I only saw about a dozen other cars on my way there.

So, that meant I arrived almost a half an hour early to work, so I decided to get some caffeine from McDonalds. I got a Caramel Mocha and apparently (cause I was wearing my uniform) we get a discount there! After that I headed to work and met up with Martha and Heather and Katie. Martha is training a new guy now (so now I'm really on my own!) I got my assignments for the day I had 6 suites and 2 regular rooms. Two of the suites and one of the regular rooms were checkouts and another suite was a linen change.


All my checkouts were still occupied so I did a suite and then one of my checkouts became available. A trainer from a different section came to check on new hires and she made all my beds for my (which was great cause we had to look for bedbugs today as well) . I did a few more rooms and my second checkout suite had a do not disturb sign on the door by the time it was twenty til 1 PM I just decided to knock it and boy was it a mess, of course they could have take that off since they weren't in there anyway. But that room took a while, luckily the trainer made all my beds again with some help from our manager (mostly I think it was so they could speak Spanish to one another.


Once again no time for a lunch, by the time I only had one more suite left the one that was a linen change, it was already 3:20 so luckily Martha and her new trainee came and helped me since they were done and did all my beds thank goodness or I never would have finished!

After work I just went back to the apartment. My one roommate came in shortly after me and we were just watching some videos on YouTube when another roommate came in and asked us really nicely if we wanted to clean for our apartment inspection tomorrow because he heard there's a 25 dollar fee if we fail, the one I was watching videos with says no I'd rather pay the fee (probably cause he's the one who usually cleans, and I already vacuumed the other day. So they started yelling at each other, something about how one should have emptied the dishwasher cause the other put dirty I top of clean so they all had to be washed again .

I couldn't take the yelling plus I had plans to Skype with one of my best friends from back home. So I drove to Target and Skyped in the parking lot. We talked for about and hour. I called my mom and talked to her for a bit and then I tried to call another best friend but she was sick so I will try again another day. I shopped around Target got gas and came back. The two who were fighting must have made up since I got a text saying they did make up. Hopefully tomorrow will be better but I would doubt it.

  1. wow... first of all I find it insane how so many people leave their hotel rooms looking like a dump. Absolutely rude and disgusting.

    Secondly, it takes a lot of time and communication to live together with new people. Perhaps a rotational chore list for the whole group that everyone can agree on. it's tough when 2 are ok with cleaning and one is not, but I'm proud of you for stepping out, a yelling match is definitely not the right answer.

      Yeah I know it's never easy living with new people, hopefully we will figure something out
