S....N....O....W????? WHAT???


Well, Nov.20th and it snowed. I HATE to say the word but I am typing it so it still seems to be ok.
It's NOT something I enjoy. Ok, perhaps the FIRST few flakes but then....then I would rather it melt INSTANTLY and we go back to 80 degrees.
Perhaps I have convinced my body over the last 5 years that it cannot ACCEPT the cold, perhaps it's the fact that I travel HOME so often during this nasty time that I have my body telling me once again....IT'S TIME TO LEAVE.
the slightest bite of Jack and I am done for.
Jack...JACK FROST. Just to keep us all up to speed on my words.
Jack & I are not really what you would say close friends.
Once upon a time, when I was a wee young lass....I would get bundled up....have to pee once my parents or grand parents put me in my suit, not unlike any child who lives in a temperated climate which relies on snow for 4 or more months out of the year.
I would drag my sorry suit outside to "PLAY".
Play....WHO ARE WE GOING TO TRY AND KID HERE???
There was no PLAY. No sense of the word.
PLAY to me is frolicking and smiling...laughter, this was simply time that my guardians would need to have some ALONE TIME.
I would sit in it.....pretend that I was smiling......and enjoying it but all the while I was dreaming of sand....surf.....palms.....

So, to go back into that DREAM MODE I live for....I am going to talk about the INTERVIEW I have tomorrow.
Yup....INTERVIEW.
Let's catch up...I have been at the Casino since....ummmmm....Oct. 6th. WOW...almost 2 whole months. Well, take away of course the 10 days I went HOME for the WEDDING OF THE YEAR and a wee visit with my friends.
HOWEVER, the date still remains Oct.6th.
So, I have been in the GAMING DEPT and training on something new. I have never worked on the gaming floor at a Casino and I must admit, I doubt I would want to relive the experience anytime in THIS lifetime.
It is BORING, sure, it's my job to dole out the JACKPOTS when someone wins on a slot machine but the entire shift consists of doing laps around a tiny Casino floor. Sure, I have the opportunity to chat with some pretty interesting characters...and NOT the ones that resemble mice either....I'm talking genuine people from all over these parts.
They aren't very....shall we say....WORLDLY but God I love some of them.
I am genuinely interested in meeting all people. Doesn't matter what your dollar figure is on that W2 or whatever they call them here in Canada.....I love people. They make me happy and if I can assist and make someones day in a way I can...THEN MY TIME ON EARTH WAS A HAPPY ONE.
I have recently realized that my life on earth was for helping people.
Moreover I think more in a hotel capacity but still......
so, I took this job, a low paying job, enough to pay my rent and put some food in my tummy and I am happy.
My career however has been whispering to me whilst I sleep at night and now I want to return to what I love.
Tomorrow I am going to interview for a Front Office Supervisor position.
This would be my natural next step and I am extremely looking forward to it.
FULL TIME HOURS...a BRAND NEW HOTEL. One that really needs some work and some love.
I am VERY VERY grateful for the time I have been given and I try very hard to NOT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF any longer and this life, as I learnt at a very young age, ain't that long and I want to enjoy ALL of it and learn EVERYTHING I CAN ALONG MY ROUTE.
The road home is paved with much......but I am thankful for the ride and the people I have been linked to along the way and I can't WAIT to continue toward what I am searching for in this life....
