standing and standing and standing
no news about the job except the make up and hair things. i haven't washed my hair in 4 days and today, my boss tells me my hair is much better than it has been. i'm so gross, i know. other than that, i've been standing for 7 days straight. i have tomorrow and thursday off. very excited. training isn't exactly stellar. i've taught myself how to use the front office system...think i could actually provide some really useful feedback about what they could do better but no one ever seems to have any time. weird b/c at the ritz pentagon, we had a much smaller front desk, same amount of rooms, and fewer people yet we were more together same goes with the guest relations/service staff. more pre-planning was done so you didn't have to run around like mad (unless you had less than 5 hours notice of an arrival). i've also been told i don't smile enough and i don't talk enough. all this positive feedback i'm getting is amazing!
