I think it's time...
Okay, I think I'm finally ready to write this out and let everyone know what's been going on for real in my life. Last week Friday (January 2nd) I got a call from Mauna Lani Hotel. Valerie (the HR Manager), who I had been communicating with, told me that they had found someone else for the position. The person they hired had managerial experience, along with the same GSA experience I have. She was all like, "I'm really sorry... thank you for being patient with us... we will keep your resume on file..." blah, blah, blah. You would think I would've gone ballistic, right? Well, I just took it all in and told her that it was okay. When I got off the phone with her I felt horrible, but didn't cry (surprisngly).
I didn't peep a work to anyone at home. I didn't wanna talk to my family about it, I was too disappointed at the time to tell anyone. I didn't pick up the phone to call anyone... I just thought I'd let my bitterness run through its course. I felt like I let my parents down, and that I would wait for them to either ask me or until I was finally ready to let them know.
I had to work that night and figured that I'd tell all my co-workers what was going on. Well, not all, but most. I first told Ali, cause I know the he'd have my back. I told him while Garrick was in the back and he had come back out while I was finishing up telling Ali had happened. So, G, being nosey as he is asked, "what, what, what?" So, I told him that I didn't get the job. He was nice about it, but had to put in the whole thing that it wasn't meant to be, cause it's meant to be that he'll be going to Vegas in March. DORK! Of course I gave him the guilt trip about shooting a girl while she's down.
Well, now I've got good news. I've been talking to all the Prince properties about a job. Hawaii Prince, Maui Prince, and Mauna Kea Prince (which is joint with Hapuna Prince). I really don't know which property I want to go to. I mean, I wouldn't mind staying on Oahu... but it is an admin. position... AND it's temporary. Supposedly after the four months, if there was an open position, they'd help get me into it. The one in Maui is taking over Sylvia's old spot of the Rooms Director's assistant, only with more responsibility and picking up HAM shifts. And at Mauna Kea, they have a management trainee position that is open... and going between the two properties. I need to write a pro and con list out for each property.
I finally told mum and dad the news last night. Partly because Dad had come out and asked me if I had heard word, and mostly because I have good news to tell at the same time. If that makes any sense. I told dad first, cause he asked, and I told mum last night a little after she came home. And even they said that things work out for a reason... and weren't disapointed (in me) at all.
Tomorrow, the neighbor island people will be here for some kind of HHA (Hawaii Hotel Association) luncheon. So, I'll be meeting with CharlAnn and Declan tomorrow at around 11:30, 12-ish. And I'll be meeting with Mr Gesteuyala and Mr. Rockwood after that. They all know that I'll be talking to the other, and they're all cool with it. I just want to see what there is... and I hope that the one I will eventually want will be willing to take me.
Okay, I think I've written enough. Sorry, but I didn't want to lj-cut this... tough shit if it takes up too much of your friends page! Haha. I must get to my chores... sore ja, bai bai!
