Ya know how sometimes you get a feeling of impending doom... Well that is how I am feeling right about now, and seeing as I don't wanna burden anyone with it, I'm gonna talk about it here! Look away now if you don't fancy reading my worries, don't worry I will not be offended!
OK, Here it comes...
Last week, in RL, I was lucky enough to be given a job - since moving last July I have had real trouble finding anywhere that will even look my way for a number of reasons, but I now have work as a cleaner in a hotel... So I dressed Rudh up in a possible costume to match the reality!

Yet after today I have this feeling of impending doom... Today was my third day, everyone on the staff was allotted their rooms to clean and I was handed a list of 15! Never done that many before, so it was a rather awesome challenge to start with. You only get a certain amount of time to clean each room, and if the guests are staying then life is a little bit easier as you don't need to change the sheets or do as thorough of a clean as you would if the guests checked out... ALL of the other, more seasoned girls had 20 rooms, and so they joked I was lucky till I looked at my list... EVERY ONE of the 15 rooms was a vacated room, that was a LOT of work... I having still not yet got a rhythm of cleaning and still struggling to make the beds spent longer than I should, and when it was time to pack up I still hadn't done 5 rooms, rather than being nice and helping me I was told I should have let them know before 12pm and that I would have to do them tomorrow...
Personally I have been feeling like a failure since, I should have done these rooms, but then I haven't got a rhythm going as it was my THIRD DAY... I am all for going in at the deep end but surely they could have done it with a rubber ring as a bit of help?? I'm gonna have to ask for less rooms till I get a rhythm going, *tries not to cry at letting people down* UGH...
Ohh its never easy being the "new" girl. Just ask them to give you a few less rooms this time. Then the next week...ask for more. It shouldnt take long for you to catch a rythem,but it takes longer than a few days love. I have no doubt in you, I know you can whoop its a$$. Give yourself a break..first week always sucks. Keep us informed on this next week. You will be just fine my friend =)
