So much change!

me at work
 
Wow, so haven’t updated in a long time!
Where to even begin so much has been going on that I’ve been more scattered brained more than usual.
So Feb... that was my birthday! I turned 24. (picts under birthday/valentine’s day) It’s weird, when I was younger I thought my life would be SO much different. Goes to show how much I knew. It’s kinda laughable how I thought I knew more than I really do.
So this year I’ve kinda have been pushing myself to do things I would normally wouldn’t do. I started off by going to the batting cages. I really didn’t do badly. I shocked myself. I missed two balls out of 40.
March is where most of my change happened.
The hotel I started with when I moved down here, the Hampton Inn and Suites-north scottsdale, they needed help so Kevin lent me out to help 4 days a week and one day at the Pima. The HIS is more of a “home” to me than the Pima ever was. I mean I love the Pima for it’s quirky personality but I started at the HIS in ’04 and I have always compared hotels to it.
Well in the course...wait, I’m jumping ahead of myself...
One of my bestest friends, Rachel, married her love, Andy, in March and I was in the wedding party for that. I flew in for the week.
I miss my friends so much in Nebraska it sometimes hurts I move around so much. But weirdly enough I love moving... I get antsy if I’m in a town too long... Usually around the five year mark is when we would move. Though I think Norma and David are here to stay in Scottsdale. So I’ll have to adventure off on my own soon.
Back to the wedding; I had such a great time! OMG I can’t believe the group of us have never hungout before the wedding! We all got along so well it was crazy cool. (checkout the picts of the wedding)
The actual day of the wedding we started drinking at 9am. Amelia got drunk. lol. But bloody hell I had soo much fun. I think I danced with any remotely good looking guy and all of the wedding party. I love dancin’! lol.
We went drinking afterwards and it was crazy fun. Ferris and I were being goobers and Heather and I were partners of crime for the weekend.
I miss everyone!
So the wedding weekend turned into my school’s spring break which to be honest was my first spring break as a college student and I spent it in Nebraska. Which, I must say was much better than working like I have been every other one.
I got to spend time with Becks which I’ve known for like 10 plus years. So flipppin crazy we have know each other for that long! I haven’t been able to spend time with her and I’m sad b/c we have such a great time together we just get each other.  (look at the spring break picts) I can’t wait to spend more time with her in May when I go back for her graduation... Shit, I need to buy my plane ticket!
I’m craving Valentinos’! becks we have to eat there in May it’s a tradition!
           So a few weeks ago was the big change that was annoying me at first, but it’s for the better and I’m glad it’s over and done with.
One Thursday afternoon before heading into the Hampton, Ashley calls me up and says to me, “did you know that you’re not on the schedule for next week at the pima?” I only worked Saturday nights so I thought she was mental and I told her so and she probably looked at it wrong. We hang up, and she talked to Gitch about it. Gitch says that she moved up to the HIS full time. Ashley also texted H2thePima during this time, and when H got into work she asked Gitch what the hell was going on.  Gitch called up Ashley asking why she told me when they hadn’t told me yet. (ok, why wouldn’t she just call me up at the moment, but whatever) Ashley told Gitch I has a right to know I no longer worked there... So I go into HIS for work and I ask Kelly, my GM at the HIS, if I missed a memo or something and she didn’t know what was going on either.
So all day I’m getting really annoyed why Kevin or Gitch hadn’t called me yet. Kelly told me I had my hours up here at the HIS so don’t worry too much about it. However having a redheaded temper I was pissed off! The next morning, Friday I got a text, yes a text, ladies and gents, from Kevin says he didn’t want this to happen this way. If you didn’t want it to happen like this why would you post the schedule before telling the person. (To this day they have yet to comment to me in person or phone about this “transfer”) Well that Saturday was my last day working apparently, and I was relieving Kevin b/c H asked off the weekend due to her 23rd bday. He didn’t even talk to me about it, he jetted so fast out of the hotel you would have thought he was on fire. WOW. the whole situation was handled unprofessionally. I would have been happy to move to the HIS full time if they just asked. I was no longer happy working at the Pima.
 Well since moving to the HIS full time I’ve been sooo busy! I now work Monday-Friday and let me tell ya I’ve never worked that before ever. My shift is 3pm-11pm. It’s great for a night owl like me. So far I’m very happy working at HIS.
Last week we had a grp from the Dept of Energy actually this week too... I’m not sure why i’m having a great time with these guys, probably b/c i give ‘em so much shit and they give it back, I don’t know, but they are so amusing to me. I talk too much and ask too many questions. They call me a terrorist, jokingly.
I gave shuttle runs last week.  haha, that was a great fun night, took me a day to recover but god that was fun! I have flashbacks that are just wow!
Well I promised William I would go to the park with him... I love swinging. It’s my escape from everything. Yes I should be sleeping but I’ll sleep when i’m dead. lol.
