Life for us has been a roller coaster. In March we took over the
management of a Best Western Motel. First the owner says he's very
happy with our work and even sent us to Phoenix for GM training but a
month later emails us with a litany of his disappointments. Many are
items we inherited from the former managers that we haven't had time to
adequately address i.e. sorting thru store rooms and tossing unusable
items. (We each work at least 60 hours a week and get paid for 40
including an apartment.) We are on or on-call 24/7. We've also been
told to cut staff to save money. This just as we had hoped to put our
DS and DIL on the payroll in the front desk and housekeeping areas.
Anyway, we are looking at another position that is open not far from
here (50 miles). We hope to check it out in person either tomorrow
afternoon or Thursday.

To keep this a little on topic, the place we are researching has a quilt
shop nearby and I have been doing Carol Doak's BOM. I have several
projects assembled and some started but just run out of time each day.
To keep me motivated, I have blocks from a fall swap on the design wall
and 3 tops hanging on the wall from clips.

Gosh Mary, I was really hoping this place was going to be "the one". So
sorry it's not working out. I hope you find the perfect place soon, and
everything in your world will be just grand.

I think we are going to give this place a few more months. The QA inspector
was here again today and went over several things that will help us get more
organized and in control. I am also going to copy and mail or fax the write
ups I've given the one trouble making housekeeper that he thinks is so good.
Since I worked this evening and it was quiet, I went over some of the forms
and info we were given. The more educated and informed we can get at his
expense, the better when we decide to move on.

After receipt of emails and phone calls, we are going to apply for another
position. The stress, tension, and back stabbing at this job just isn't
worth it.

What a rotten shame, Mary.
And now you have to go through all the applying and waiting palaver.
I'm so very sorry and really hope it works out for you at your new
place. I've said it many times before and I'm sure I'll say it again,
but sometimes I'm ashamed to be a human being.

We figure there is a reason for this. Wish we knew what it was.

Just keep wishing and waiting and you'll find out. I bet there
is a much better situation out there for you Mary. You just gotta
find it.

I sure hope there is something better. I know we can't continue with this
stress.
