Hi everyone! Just wanted to post a quick update...I am currently staying at the hotel in York PA with Collin and have been here since Friday. I quit my job, rather suddenly as a matter of fact! I didn't really mean to but...
Here is the quick version: I had to give my 2 weeks notice by Wednesday. On Tuesday our department had a meeting with the HR guy and the president of the company. They told us that they were dissolving our dept, 2 of us would go to finance, 2 would go to customer service. The 2 in customer service would continue doing the work I was hired to do, the 2 in finance would have different jobs. Well, I was told that I would be going to finance. They also told us that w/i 6 months, 2 of us would be laid off. I asked if we had a choice in the matter and the president said, "No, and if you don't like it, resign." (First and LAST words he ever said to me BTW!) Of course, being a quick-tempered,no-nonsense kind of girl, I said, "fine, consider it done." and left the room. So that was my last day of work. I loved the job I was doing and didn't like someone arbitrarily making decisions on my day-to-day life and certainly not on my future career path! What a jerk!! Come to find out, I am the 9th!!!person to quit that company in the last 6 months!!! sounds like they have a problem....
Ok, so flash forward to now...I came to stay with Collin for a few reasons, 1) because I missed him!! 2) the landlord is selling the house and people are swarming all over my apt which is upsetting both myself and Duncan and 3) to get a headstart on the job hunt...
It's been difficult though. Even though this hotel is beautiful, it is very hard to entertain my 90lb dog here. It's located on a golf course so lots of green grass but NO DOGS ALLOWED! I have been driving him every day, twice a day to any local park I can find. Which is a nightmare in itself. As many of you know Duncan is horrific in the car and I don't know my way around well so it's been trying!
I'm learning the town though and I like it so far. It has everything you need but it's still country enough. Very pretty area. I haven't done well on the job search end though. Mostly because the only computer I have is the one I am on now in the hotel lobby. It has no printer and there are always people waiting to use it so I feel rushed....
Collin works nights, from around 10pm until 1 or 2pm. (I know...16 - 17 hours each day...
I am heading back to Jersey tomorrow for the "finale" of my root canal and then to finish packing. The movers come Sunday...Unfortunately Collin can't come back until Saturday so I have to finish packing and cleaning the old place alone. (remind me never to move again!!)
I'm trying to stay positive since I am happy about this move. And I'm trying not to KILL Collin for the 0% effort he ahs put into helping me with all the details!!
Anyway, I have been trying to post as I get a chance to get on the hotel computer and I will try to post again from home tomorrow. After the move, I will get the computer set up asap!!
Oh, one more thing...our digital camera was stolen from the dining room at the hotel on Friday night!So no pics for a while...It was our fault, we left it there accidentally. We called first thing in the am but they said it wasn't there. Miraculously the case was, but not the camera? (we KNOW it was one of the workers here, we got a tip from one of the guys Collin knows really well but of course, he denied it! I WILL be talking to the hotel manager before I leave tomorrow though...theft at a fancy hotel like this from a guest is a HUGE "lose-your-job-immediately-no-no)
We plan on buying another but first we need a washer and a dryer!
OK, this quick update sure isn't short! Talk to ya'll soon...
Jennifer and Duncan
