The Allison Resort

                                                                                       









Well this is the beautiful resort that I am now employed at. It really is a gorgeous place. It's insanely busy right now, it being a holiday weekend and all. Though they till me it will be this busy until October. Craziness is what I call it. Today I saw a couple that was from Paris. Fancy Smancy!
The cheapest stay is about $450/night. It's incredible to me for someone to have that kind of money. Seriously the people that are staying all weekend if they got the cheapest deal is still spending $1800 just on a place to stay, a little spa treatment and some fabulous food.

My experience is much different for obvious reasons than those that stay with us. In fact just finished my second day of work and I have blisters and sores on my feet, a backache, and a monster headache. I am currently icing my knee as I am typing. It makes me sound old. In fact I told my friend Carlos that I feel old. Everyone at work has informed me that it will get better after the first week of working there. Even your feet will stop aching, they say. Most of the people that I work closely with are latinos. I guess it's a good time to learn spanish. I have learned that I hate it because they start talking spanish when they don't want me to know what they are talking about. I think it is incredibly rude. Now I know what it is like for the Deaf people who have friends who speak both spoken and sign, and chose to speak and then maybe paraphrase in sign to them. Frustrating! I feel much like an idiot most of the time. Very unimportant! Kind of like I'm a fly on the wall and they are trying to swat at me to get away.

It is hard work and though I don't mind working hard...it helps the day go a little faster. I feel incredibly lonely at work. I am not looking forward to working tomorrow (Sunday) it will be my first time ever working on Sunday in my life. I wish so badly that I could change my schedule around. I might stay longer if I could. Anyways I'm trying to look at it as a stepping stone to a more fulfilling job that wont make me work on the sabbath day. Urg!! This is killing me. I don't know how long I'll be able to do this without having my Sunday's to take the sacrament. It's depressing!!! I guess I need to pray harder for a new job to come up.
