the first week

[SONG] Keith Sweat - Girl of My Dreams

So the first week back to work was well...pretty much the same, lol!

Besides having a bit more daily duties, i am now part of ever discussion, input and update. Last time when i was there as a trainee, it did not matter if i was there or not, they would still continue with what needed to be said and done. Now if i am not around, they wait. It's kind of overwhelming, but it feels good to belong.

I recommended some changes that needed to be done with the social and weddings side, which has made me stand out a bit more. My managers and directors seemed impressed that i want to help out with some improvements almost right away. I'm in charge of the new e-mail templates and proposals and configuration of some new packages. It's fun because i can feel a sense of empowerment and belonging which makes me feel good to go to work.

The only thing that would make things really great right now would be if i had a larger wardrobe and tie collection, haha!! It's tiring and hard to wear a limited amount of work clothes. Trying to keep up with the laundry is already a mission, but having the lack of outfits to mix and match is so embarrassing. Did i mention i only have one suite? which makes it really hard for me to take for dry cleaning. It's been so long since it has been really cleaned. I need a NEW SUITE!!!!

Anyhoo..i'm glad that this is a slow period and that the work days are cut to 5-days a week. It gives me more time to rest and learn. When december comes...i'm pretty much screwed as every weekend is packed with weddings and events. It's going to be one hell of a month!

So anyways...not much about work, since i've been through it before, blogged about it somewhere here and well...at the end of the day, it's just work!


So...here are 2 pix for ya...



haha..check it...named in the 'welcome' section of our daily AM report



Snapped this after a piss...was kind of embarrassed to ask someone to help me =)

peace y'all!!

Catering Sales Update

[SONG] Usher - Love You Gently

It's been 3 weeks into Catering Sales and it has been great.

Besides the overtime work and load of paperwork to do, i really do enjoy myself. I seem to have found my calling. It will be a tiring career and stuff but i think it will be worth it after i get the hang of things...hopefully!!

I've learned a lot over the past 3 weeks and there's just so much more to go. I can't seem to find the brain space to squeeze all the information in at one go...i try but it's really tough. Even though it's brain stressing, i think i've been doing quite well.

I'm so worried that i won't have the time to sleep anymore haha kidding, but seriously, i'm trying to squeeze in some time to finish up my thesis for school. 15,000 for my Diploma and 30,000 for my Higher Diploma is nothing to be joking about. I think i have about 5 weeks left before it's due and i have pretty much nothing!!!!

A couple of more months before i start receiving my full-time pay checks. I can't wait. Though it's not much to really survive since i have to rent my own room and shit but it's good enough for the time being. It's a good starting wager compared to most jobs available in the hotel industry.

Can't wait til the end of tmr then i can really rest. My eye bags have doubled and it's not even a joke. I look so sleepy and tired everyday...i just need a good 15 hr sleep...more would be better hahahaha =P

I'm out peeps! gotta hit the sack and get some shut eye!

peace y'all!!
