Oh bloody hell...

as my buddy Sebastian would say.

Can't write currently because I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do about paying the bills. Show up to work today and get a bomb dropped on me. Just shows that sometimes it does pay to call off.

Apparently the hotel I work at is having issues with money- didn't help that they had a worthless PR/Sales person hired for over a year that cost the hotel more money. I would have fired her three weeks into the job. Anyway, in order to fix the mess, the manager of this particular hotel has been ordered to work first shifts during the week. Of course, this could also be due to the fact that he's rarely been at his hotel and taken no interest lately. Kind of like a "you're grounded, now you're stuck at work" deal. Whichever it is, it has definite immediate repercussions on the rest of us. The poor girl working all the first shifts now gets shoved off to part time second shifts. Now, this particular girl also does all the scheduling, direct bills, group accounts... etc. She practically runs the hotel. You can just imagine the chaos that will occur from having the ignorant boss working her shifts.... Women and children in the life boats first, the ship is going down!!

Typically when my classes are in session, I'm only working Saturday and Sunday. I was working a twelve-hour shift on Saturdays followed by an 8 hour shift on Sunday. Now I'll be lucky to get one meager 8 hour shift each week. Not enough to pay the bills and with school starting in less than a week, there's very little I can do about it. The news was just dropped on all of us with no regard for our welfare.

I mean, if I have to claim bankruptcy or get bad credit from not paying my bills the next few months, that's what I'm doing. Fuck it, I haven't come this far to fall apart now. I'll just have to remember that momentous hero of my childhood:

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....Damn, this is a long hill.
