Shine

Recently my manager was promoted and will be transferring to another hotel by next week. My friend, Massiel, told me that I should show some interest in her job. I shrugged it off as I have only been here a month. On my way in to work today ‘Shine’ from Billy Elliot came on the ipod and had me reconsider. It was almost like a thought of, why not try? The worst that could happen is that they tell me no..is that so bad? At least it shows ambition.

I spoke to her today and she was a bit taken aback by my request. She stated she believed I wanted a smaller role in the hotel so that I could focus on my photography, which is partially true. However, sitting behind a keyboard and having no guest interaction, I feel as I have been sent to a graveyard for my soul to die. There are days when I come to work in a really good mood and then, at times, it goes down hill from there.

Of course my mind gets to thinking..you’re 29, what the hell are you gonna end up doing with your life? Chase some check til you cannot anymore…?

Oh, O

I was recently watching Oprah’s Life Class on Own and Ms. Oprah spit out a quote by Whoopi that caught me:

“Everything you try to do to me, is already done to you.”

I believed it to be true about Karma and how it all comes around to snip the person, then this past week this girl at work who was rude to me…well, she was bit.

I am new here, and obviously learning, but this woman felt it in good reasoning to make fun of me, in front of my face, about a mistake I had made earlier in the day. Being the gay New Yorker that I am, I called her out and shut her down.

Well, she was recently promoted to a manager role, go figure, and she came in bitching, moaning, crying, that she was getting so much flack for mistakes that she was making. She brought up the fact that she was new and had little training and didn’t find it fair. I just kept my mouth shut and smiled on the inside.

…what a bitch.
