Hello everyone!
Just warning you this is going to be probably the worst blog I will ever write, all it is is complaints and whining but after I write it down I'll feel better so you don't even have to read it lol.
So last weekend was REALLY crazy with my two jobs and of course we had like the biggest snow storm of the whole winter so far. So I've been working my first job (Raintree Resort) from 3-9 pm every day except Sundays and Mondays and then at 11 pm I start work at Marriott until 7 in the morning. Then I come home and by the time I get to sleep it is about 8 or 8:30 and then I wake up at 2:30 and race back up to Park City so I can start it all over again at 3.
Well it was okay until last weekend I had a lot of stress that was just slowly building up from doing that all week and by Friday I was a bit frazzled lol. What a good word. Anyways..work at Raintree on Friday was particularly frustrating, and I was happy to get off, but when I did get off I went outside and it was like a blizzard and it was 9 at night and I had to be to Marriott at 11. PLUS, after getting off at Marriott at 7 in the morning I had to be back to work at Raintree at 9 in the morning because on Sat. my Raintree hours are 9-6. Are you still following me??? So basically I was only 1/3 of the way through my working time! I was sortof hoping I could just drive to Heber...I dont know why, just so it felt like I could be home a minute...but that was not going to happen with the way my car drives in the snow. So I just went to a restraunt and ate by myself because I was SUPER hungry and I was tired but like in a non sleepy tired way if that makes sense. Plus like am I really going to fall asleep for 2 hours anyways, I'll just be even more tired when I have to wake myself up it would feel more like two minutes.
So I got done eating at like 9:45 and I was like great, now what do I do until 11 so I just went to Albertson's and walked up and down every aisle like 3 times, and I was going to buy a soduko book to do while working at Marriott but my brain was not in the mood to play numbers games so I just bought some Krispy Kreme donuts lol. Then I went to the parking lot and was like great, now what am I going to do lol. So I just kinda rested in my car for a half hour....yeah exciting I know....
So I made my way up to Marriott but we have this horrible hill that never gets snow plowed and its so slick and icy and you can only go like .1 miles per hour up it and my car though it tried very hard, could not make it up the hill lol. I was like great...so I parked in some random shady apartment complex parking lot really hoping my car wouldn't get towed. One of my co-workers saw me and gave me a ride up to the hotel. Yay for him! Work went pretty well until morning time, we had a very drunk girl come in she had no idea where she was and she just started screaming and yelling at me and David and saying the most random things, none of which I can repeat because it was very colorful language lol. Well we finally figured out that she needed to be at the other Marriott hotel except no taxis would answer because its like 3 in the morning they're all asleep probably lol. Apparantly she called a taxi driver from salt lake who came all the way out here but of course he didn't know where to take her because she couldn't tell him so he just sorta dropped her off here for us to deal with but as he was going back down our hill he got stuck haha. So he had to come back up here and wait for a tow truck to pull him out, except the lady decided to get back in his car and in the end we just had to call the cops and have them take her where she needed to go lol.
So after that we had about 60 families that were checking out that day and most of them had taxis scheduled to take them to the airport except it had snowed so much all night that none of the taxis could even make it up the hill to us so everyone was late and everyone was freaking out and it was insane. This full sized bus tried to make it up the hill but it got stuck and like slid sideways so it was blocking the whole road lol. It was a disaster...
So I got to my car and it was stuck as well it just looked like a big mound of snow me and two of my co-workers had to work for like an hour to get it out. So we finally got it out and I left but my gas tank was at 0 miles to go until I needed to refuel haha so I went to the gas station but I got stuck trying to get in it haha....then I pulled in the wrong way and had to flip around lol. Then by that time it was like past nine and I called my boss at Raintree and I was like you know what I have not had a very good day and I'm completely exhausted all I want to do is get home and go to sleep so hes like ok you should do that I was like yes I should lol. So finally i was on my way home and I was driving down the highway just fine until I started going downhill and all of a sudden my car just completely starts sliding right off the highway into a huge snowbank and I was stuck...AGAIN. I had to call my dad and ask him to come pull me out except some other random nice guy pulled me out just before my dad came so my dad followed me home but I made it! YES! After that I slept and slept and slept....and then was awake all night because I slept too much....Oh well....
PHEW! ok I'm done. Sorry I warned you at the top... just really had to vent for a second....more like an hour but whatever. I'm cutting back my hours at Raintree so I go in at 6 pm...then I still have to go over to marriott at 11...we'll see how that goes. Stay tuned :)
And I promise not to complain once for the rest of the week! You have permission to slap me if I do.
