(no subject)
my manager at the fairfield is bonnie. i didn't realize upon being hired, by her, that she had only worked at the hotel for like four days longer than me. so she's kindof like, the portrait of *new management*, coming in and whipping things into shape. she's uhh-balls to the wall. go get em, bonnie. but she's pretty much perfect. she does it with such class, and such a professional demeanor, and i just love her. the very first conversation i had with her, when she called me in for an interview, was like, incredible. i even told her, "i have to say, you are just so nice." she laughed, and i think we'll be friends. i see lunch at panera or a very professional glass of wine in the future.
otherwise i'm really liking the job, also -- i like dressing for it and i like being there. i like maintaining the integrity of the lobby. i actually like saying, "it's a great day at the mariott fairfield inn and suites of sandusky; my name is brian. how may i direct your call?" i like baking cookies for our valued guests and making popcorn when there are children checked in. i like how i'm never really bored or misguided - there's always laundry to fold, floors to shine, and a literally endless but harmonious slew of things to update and sort... i like my coworkers-they're all pretty cool. the one girl, though, asked me if i had a girlfriend. and i said, "nope.*laughalittle* no girlfriend for me." she asked why i said it like that, and i didn't answer her.
my chiropractor says "they're moving", [my vertabrae] which is *so* good. so awesome. so... energizing. i've started feeling the pain in my leg that he forecasted, which is a sign of change and positive effect. most of the core *back pain* has shifted up my spine and subsided to more of a general aching, weakness and tightness. which is also good, because, once again, as forecasted, as planned, as is intended... my back is being straightened.
hopefully soon i'll be able to go to the gym and start building muscle around my new spine. and then?
parties.
so yeah. life is smooth and fair right now. i keep up the house and clean the kitchen. my dad often neglects rinsing his dishes. i do it anyway. i don't eat too much and i am comfortable with my habits. i'm making money (not that i've seen my first paycheck yet but i sure am excited about it.) my car is running well... well enough. its attitude problem shows through sometimes but it's loyal. and for the first time, aside from my family, there is an overall lack of friendly love and support in my life. i've been feeling very independent, and it's suiting me well. it seems this is helping to put life in perspective for me. and i promise myself that once i have that perspective i won't let it get too far.
