Well, we have been in our new place for a week now!  The husband started his new job on Tuesday. He seems to really like the new job, he has (8) training shifts before he can start taking tables.

I am very excited for him,  I have yet to go into the place he is working but I am sure I will be shortly.

Tonight is our date night! I am so happy! I love that we are working on our relationship and going back to our Date nights! Get out of the house, and enjoy each other and not have to clean up or have Stephen cook.

Where are we going to go tonight?

 New job is going well! We are finally moving out of hotel on thursday.  We are so excited! The only big issues have been the computer so many problems.  I had to send out an now it is being reconfrigered.  Technology stinks sometimes.  The new place is so nice an our apartment overlooking a nice brook.

Waiting for the snow to stop..

Well, beginning of my 3rd week, in my new position, new property and new town.  We think we have found a place, which I absolutely love and want!!  We did apply but the husband needs a job in order for us to qualify, one of the jobs would have him out of the home 4pm-11pm 5 days a week, and we would have no full days off together.  I know I am being selfish, I just really want us to have a life together. So part of me, is wondering if we should then look at a less expensive place in order for us to live off my paycheck and use his part time work for fun!!!

Why be married if we do not spend anytime together? When he was at the Tavern, we at least had one whole day together.  He has other options and I am hoping one of those works out, so we do not have to choose between our life together or paying our bills.  I took this new position to move forward in my career, and to make more money so we can actually enjoy our life together and not be living to work, but work to be living..

These past three weeks have been tough, but today, I enjoyed talking to my boss, and getting everything out what I have seen in the last 3 weeks and learning what the expectations of my position are, and how to go forward without over stepping my boundaries.

I am look forward to the new opportunity and to explore more of this part of the state and Vermont.

Yesterday, we looked at 2 different apartments. I really want the 2nd one, and in order to do that, the husband knows and is trying to get a job. It does mean we are in the hotel until March 20th or so.  That is a long time fo be in one room.   This move is so much harder than I thought it would be, tonight it is 5pm and I am working until 11pm. I am MOD.

Yes, the beginning of my 3rd week on the job and I am covering a MOD shift.  This is not making me happy or even  feel as if I am learning anything. Tomorrow I must have a sit down discussion with my DOS/M and find out what exactly my role is here on the property.

I feel as if she thinks I am a glorified CSM, and that is not what I was told during the interview process. there is no job descriptions which I understand, but I need to know what is expected of me and the role I will be fulfilling here.

I have many ideas and I want to implement them the number 1 being getting on the road and trying to build relationships with local businesses!!  I realize everyone is busy but unless we get out there, the leads will eventually stop and we need to plan for that not to happen.

I just want to be a success and useful in this position not taken advantage of , by only having the title but not the responsiblities that I really crave.  I may not like the MOD shift on a Sunday night, but at least I can see the property and how it works and introduce myself to the evening shift people who I do not see all that often. 

I believe in this property and the company, I just want to make sure I am doing what they intended for my role to be and if  I have to act like a bulldog with a bone until someone hears me I will do that too.  It is about the company nothing personal..
