Tomorrow!
Tomorrow is my last day working at this hotel. Soon, I'll have a new job as a night stocker at a grocery store close to my house. They offer everything that my current position doesn't- insurance benefits, vacation, 401k, and best of all, NO CUSTOMERS since it's the graveyard shift and the store is closed at night. I'd take it for that reason alone. I don't mind the graveyard; currently I work until 11 pm and after I get off, I'm usually still wired and stay up until 3 or 4 am.
I'm evil because I'm quitting the week before one of our busiest events of the year- the mining expo. The entire week will be busy, but we're sold out for Wednesday and Thursday and have been since April. I've been getting frantic phone calls for the last several days, and they make me want to laugh because they usually go like this:
Customer: PLEASE tell me you have rooms for June 6th and 7th.
Me: No, I'm sorry, I don't.
Customer: Well, WHO DOES? or "Can't you do ANYTHING to help me?" or "Well, what am I supposed to do now?"
To that last question, I want to reply "I guess you're screwed. Probably should have been smart and not waited until the last minute to make reservations."
But of course I can't ever say what I think! Or maybe I can... what are they going to do, fire me?
I don't feel guilty for leaving. It's not like anybody is going to miss me. I gave two weeks notice to my boss and all she said was "Okay, I'll start going through applications." And the lady who works the graveyard is happy because she's getting my swing shift schedule. I've come to the sad realization that I haven't made a dent in anybody's life since I've been here. What a waste.
