My New Job

I just got a job at the Best Western of Providence-Seekonk. I get to work the third shift for right now which is the 11pm to 7am shift. I am a front desk associate which means I check guests in and out, answer phones, do laundry, handle guest complaints, deliver stuff to rooms, clean the lobby, set up breakfast and keep that well stocked during breakfast hours, insert in reservations, and an assortment of other fun duties.

I was trained today for about 5 hours and then I will be trained again tomorrow at 11pm to 7am then I will supposedly get to run a shift on Friday and a shift on Saturday alone so it shall be interesting.

As well as that job, I also am working for a temporary staffing agency and get to help run a convention this weekend. I work on Thursday during the day and on Friday during the day as well. It is kind of funny how I went from no jobs to 2 jobs within a week and already having to juggle them and their times.

When school starts I'll have these two jobs (the temporary staffing agency one will be a gig by gig basis) as well as a work study job working with the community as well as being a missions leader at church, I think I'll have my hands pretty darn full. I praise God for blessing me with work to do!

Mid-July Weekend Update!

I had a fun jam packed weekend! I thought I would share it all with you guys!

On Thursday night I went to a weekly Bible study which had a great message to it this week. Then on Friday, I had to go in to this temporary staffing agency to fill out some paperwork to get a temporary job for next weekend (at least it is some form of money right?) and then I went to go get drug tested (yay!). Afterwards, Melissa and I headed to Sam's Club to do some grocery shopping then later that evening we met up with some of our friend's from Thursday night Bible study. There was 7 of us for dinner @ Texas Roadhouse then 6 of us headed to go see Dark Knight. We came right as the movie was due to begin and there was no 6 seats together so we exchanged our tickets for a later showing and went for ice cream while we waited. Dark Knight was decent however it was really dark and twisted and it was the first batman movie that I can remember watching (I'm sure I've seen others, I just cannot remember them). The night was fun and it's great to get some new friends.

Saturday, Melissa headed to go work at a wedding in Newport all day and I headed over to my friend Rachel's house where she and another friend, Kat were hanging out. We played a junk food trivia game (wow I am so not a junk food junkie!). After we played the game we got into the car and headed to southern Rhode Island to go to a hot air balloon festival where they had 11 hot air balloons set up at dusk with glows going. After the balloons were packed up again, there was a firework display. It was a great evening. After the festival, we headed to Rachel's house for pie and ice cream.

As for today, I had church as usual which had a great message with it. As for the rest of my day, I do not know what all I am going to do but we will see!
