Defying Gravity

Defying Gravity

It’s been some time since I have posted on my blog. I have been doing pretty well as of lately. I know that it’s only been a few short months but life has really begun to settle down. I have been having some wonderful adventures at work and outside work as well.

I have to say that this weekend was a blast and stressful all at once. I came into work after being out all night on Friday. I got off work on Friday and took a quick nap and headed out with some friends. I joined them for some great people watching that included some interesting dance moves that were… well we will just say it was interesting, the added some fuel to the body with a great bite to eat nearby. I ended up deciding that I was going to go back out even though they were leaving for the night. I am really glad that I did. I was afraid that I was going to be all alone at the bar and just drinking my water and not knowing anyone. It wasn’t that way at all. I ran into so great people and we spent the entire night dancing, mostly on the platforms, bringing all the straight girls to dance with us and making people have a good time. It was nice to smile like that. It was also great to just let loose and have a good time. The best part was that all night I never even had to drink. It was just water all night. So it was wonderful night with some new friends and a great time.

So after feeling great on Friday, I got into work and seemed to have lost my voice. It was pretty great all of the staff were calling it my sexy voice because it was so raspy. It took a few hours but I got it back. During this time at desk I had two interesting check ins for the day. One was Reptile Man and other was a little person both from Ripley’s. When the guy told us who they would be, it just like it was Bob Smith or John Doe. Its amazing that after all these years in the hotel, you just don’t get surprised by anything.

So the two of them just added to the day. After the second shift came in I ended up helping out the Pub Crawl Mini Golf event outside the hotel. I agreed that I would go out for a few hours until it was over. It was 3PM on Saturday and watching people try to putt while they were already drunk was a blast. Had a great time and it was awesome. So we began to tear down and when our bar supervisor deeply cut his hand. I didn’t notice until he told the engineer that he needed to go to the hospital. I just saw how deep it was and agreed. So they called in some other people to cover the shifts while we worked on getting him bandaged up and sent him on the way to the hospital. I called the GM and made sure we were following the procedures and let her know what was going on.  So we had just one staff in the bar and lounge so I became a server for a few hours. It was actually kind of fun and I enjoyed it but only stayed long enough for the rest of the staff to return.

I had to wait at work to make sure that we got all the paper work for the incident and when he got back he said he had gotten 16 stitches and cut all the way through his hand. It was a clean cut and he would be fine in about 10 days. So I filled out the forms and got the engineer to call it in. I made it home around 9:00pm and was planning on going out… I got a call and instead decided I wanted to just crawl in bed and talk. And so that is what I did.

I love that everyday at my hotel something new and exciting happens. Usually it’s a few things over time not all at once but it made for a great story and fun times. So bar supervisor is ok, and the hotel was fine. It was just another day in the life at the hotel.

Today was just boring compared to that but I did have a great night. Playing with Pandora and watching some video and even had a Hawaiian moment listening to some of Lilo and Stitch.  Also watched a few Wicked video and songs and made me feel so good to hear it all and think about performing and that rush you get when you are on stage.

So I guess now is the time to defy gravity. Everything so far seemed to want to pull me down and make me that someone else was controlling me. Everyone does deserve a chance to fly. This is my chance and I am going to make the best out of it. So September is going to be the month that I kick it up. One month until I am heading home and begin the road trip. I am going be doing gym harder this month and making sure that I am striving to make healthier choices in food and for myself. It’s been an adventure but this is only the beginning for me. I am going to Defy Gravity!!!
