BUSY BUSY BUSY

OK, WELL I STARTED ORIENTATION AT THE CARE CENTER AT 7AM (yawn) AND WE GOT OUT AT 2PM (still yawn). THE DIRECTOR THAT HIRES EVERYONE, LORRE, WAS PUTTING TOGETHER THE SCHEDULE AND THEY FOUND THIS GIRL THAT WAS A NO CALL NO SHOW. SO LORRE AND THE RN WERE FREAKING OUT BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO BE SHORT STAFFED. WELL I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WORE MY SCRUBS TO ORIENTATION (lil weirdo me) AND LORRE WAS JOKING AROUND SAYING "WELL ONDREA IS FRESH OUTTA ORIENTATION AND IS DRESSED TO START WORKING". SO, AS IT ALWAYS HAPPENS, I FELT BAD AND OFFERED TO WORK. THIS LITTLE OLD MAN KEPT TRYING TO ESCAPE, HE TRIED 4 TIMES WHILE I WAS ON SHIFT!! THEN I WAS PUTTING A WOMAN TO BED AND THAT SAME MAN CAME INTO HER ROOM. SHE SAT UP IN BED AND POINTED AT HIM AND SAID " HE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN HERE! I DONT KNOW WHERE HE GOES BUT ITS NOT IN HERE!" SO WHEN I WAS DONE WITH HER I PUT THE GUY TO BED AND HELPED THE OTHER NURSES WITH VARIOUS THINGS SUCH AS CHANGING "BREIFS" ANSWERING CALL LIGHTS AND SHOWERINGS. WHAT AN EVENTFUL NIGHT... I TRIED TO READ MY BOOK TO CALM DOWN BUT I JUST ENDED UP CRASHING AND WHEN MY SISTER GOT HOME SHE WAS TALKING TO ME, BUT I DIDNT REMEMBER HALF OF OUR CONVERSATION... SO I WAS TELLING HER THE SAME STUFF THIS MORNING AND SHE SAID "YOU ALREADY TOLD ME THIS LAST NIGHT!"... SO IM UP FOR ANOTHER EVENTFUL NIGHT TONIGHT. MORE BLOGS TO COME ON THE RESIDENTS OF THE WEST WING AT THE CARE CENTER

SCHOOLING AND FINDING A CAREER ♥

SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE CARE CENTER IN RICHFIELD TO APPLY FOR A JOB. THE LADY ASKED ME IF I WAS A CNA AND I TOLD HER NOT YET. WELL SHE GOT ME ALL THESE APPLICATIONS TO FILL OUT AND TOLD ME THAT I COULD DO ON THE JOB TRAINING WHILE IM GOING TO SCHOOL TO GET MY CNA LICENSE. THEY WILL ALSO PAY FOR ME TO GO TO SCHOOL. SO IM TOTALLY THINKING ABOUT A CAREER IN NURSING (which has been an option for me). AFTER IM ALL TRAINED AND CERTIFIED I CAN GO TO SCHOOL TO BECOME AN LPN (they will pay for half of that) AND THEN I CAN CHOOSE MY PATH, WHETHER OR NOT I WANNA BECOME AND RN OR A XRAY TECH. IM PRETTY EXCITED AT THE FACT THAT MY LIFE IS GOING SOMEWHERE BESIDES HOUSEKEEPING AND BURGER FLIPPING. yea!!! THATS ABOUT ALL FOR NOW. TTYL

UPDATING MY FELLOW BLOGGERS ON ME :]

HELLO ALL!
WELL LETS SEE, SINCE I LAST BLOGGED I HAVE GOTTEN BACK INTO CONTACT WITH MY BIOLOGICAL MOM AND SISTER THAT I HAVENT SPOKEN TO IN ABOUT 10 YEARS. I CAME UP NORTH TO SEE THEM (they are doing great btw) AND NOW I WILL BE MOVING UP HERE. I KNOW ALL MY CEDAR CITY CHUMS WILL MISS ME BUT I PROMISE THAT I WILL MAKE TIME TO COME SEE YOU AT LEAST ONCE EVERY OTHER MONTH IF NOT ONCE A MONTH. (thats about all you are used to seeing me anyways right?) I AM GOING TO WORK UP HERE AND GO TO SNOW COLLEGE. IM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT GOING INTO BUSINESS MANAGMENT (to start my own bed and breakfast, o yea!) ALMOST ALL OF MY DEBT IS PAID OFF (the debt that accrues interest anyways) AND I WILL BE ABLE TO START OVER FRESH IS WHAT I FEEL LIKE. FOR ME, THIS VISIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT A HEALING EXPERIENCE AND IT TURNED INTO A CHANGE OF PACE FOR ME, WHICH IS WHAT I THINK I NEEDED. I WILL ALSO TRY TO BLOG MORE CUZ YA'LL KNOW THAT DANA IS THE BLOGGER NAZI! (i love ya long time in a non-creepy kinda way!!!)

THE WAY OF MY HECTIC LIFE

GOOD GRIEF IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY RIGHT NOW. I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY THAT ALL I EVER WANT TO DO ANYMORE IS SLEEP. I GET UP AT 7:30 AM AND GET READY TO GO TO THE MARRIOTT AND DO MY "GUEST SERVICE ATTENDANT" (that is my official title) THING AND I USUALLY GET DONE AROUND 2 OR 3 PM. WE HAVE BEEN WAY BUSY LATELY SO SOMETIMES I WONT GET OFF UNTIL 4 OR 5. THEN I COME HOME (but lately ive been taking my BK clothes with me, to preserve gas) GET DRESSED AND HEAD OUT TO BURGER KING aka THE BK LOUNGE aka BURGER HELL, WHERE I SPEND THE REST OF THE NIGHT TAKING ORDERS, MAKING FOOD, CLEANING SOME MORE AND CLOSING THE LOBBY. A COWORKER AND I USUALLY ALTERNATE ON CLOSING THE LOBBY, BUT SHE IS PREGO AND HAS NOT BEEN FEELING WELL LATELY SO ITS BEEN UP TO ONDREA TO CLOSE. (woo hoo...not) I USUALLY GET HOME AROUND 11:30 PM (one night i didnt get home till 12;15 am, because i feel guilty when there arent enough people there and i feel like i need to help. darn me ) THEN I GET BACK UP AND DO THE ROUTINE OVER AGAIN. I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I GOT TO SLEEP IN TILL 10 AM YESTERDAY. SO THAT HAS BEEN MY LIFE LATELY. DANA HAS BEEN HOUNDING ME ABOUT UPDATING SO I SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY.

OTHER THAN WORK NOTHING HAS REALLY BEEN HAPPENING. THERE ARE THE CRAZY MANAGERS AT THE BK LOUNGE, THE WAY FUNNY (way cute) FRONT DESK GUY AT THE MARRIOTT ( more to come later) AND ONDREA, WORKING 1 LB OFF AT A TIME. :)

COMFORT INN...NOT SO COMFY

OK SO HERES THE DEALIO... THE GUY THAT I BLOGGED ABOUT THAT BROKE INTO ROOM 215, WELL I GOT FIRED OVER THAT.THE GENERAL MANAGER TOOK MY NAME OFF THE SCHEDULE AND SO I CALLED HER (she couldnt even call me to talk to me about it, i heard it from a fellow co-worker).SO I WENT IN THE NEXT DAY, TUESDAY, AND TALKED TO HER. SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD TALKED TO THE OWNERS AND THEY HAD TOLD HER (imagine their little hindu accents, like Apu on the Simpsons) THAT SINCE THAT HAD HAPPENED ON MY SHIFT THAT I WAS AT FAULT AND THEY DID NOT WANT SOMEONE LIKE THAT WORKING FOR THEM. SO I WAS LET GO AND I JUMPED ONTO THE JOB TRAIL RIGHT AWAY AND ONE DAY AFTER GETTING FIRED I FOUND ANOTHER JOB AT THE MARRIOT. (which is a freaking AMAZING hotel!!!) IT IS ALSO IN THE WORKS FOR ME TO BECOME A MANAGER AT BURGER KING AND POSSIBLY WORK AT SUBWAY. SO THINGS ARE LOOKING UP. I HUNG OUT WITH DANA, LYRA AND SHELBY TODAY. DANA AND I TOOK THE DOGS TO THE PARK BY MY HOUSE AND LET THEM PLAY AND SHELBY WAS AFRAID OF LYRA (i think its cuz shes so much bigger than him and he's never really seen that big a dog before) THE CATS WERE DEFINETLY AFRAID OF LY-SKIZZLE... SHE CAME INTO THE HOUSE AND I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER SEEN A CAT RUN SO FAST OR SCALE A KITCHEN CABINET SO QUICKLY!!!THEN WE WENT TO GET SUBWAY AND STOPPED ALONG THE WAY TO GET ME A LEMON LIME SNOW CONE WHICH DANA SAID WAS THE BIGGEST SNOW CONE SHES EVER SEEN. IT WAS A GREAT DAY.
