4 a.m. and the ramblings unfold
It's 4 a.m and I just finished Cherie Priest's "Four Twenty Blackbirds", which was extremely visionary. I can't say extremely phenomenal and a once in a life time must-read as some of the expectations delivered by the Internet promised, but Priest definitely has that quality that draws you in and makes time fast forward. This is rare nowadays, so I ( Read more... ) -

Small Hour Ramblings
Not much to talk about today other that this is the end of my second in a row night shift and I am trying to build some consistency to the posts I write. You know, building a habit out of it again and the likes. I originally was tempted to sit down and write a piece on "Staying True To Yourself As a Writer", but decided that in the small hours I ( Read more... ) -
Hell had this special promo sale, one thing led to another and oops I was in another dimention
I haven't blogged in what seems a small eternity and I don't expect anybody to be be paying attention after such an elongated hiatus, but I didn't even have the time and energy to write a farewell note. But for the sake of making a yet another return this is a small recap as to what happened to me.

Ah, recollections
Some crazy days have passed. I don't remember blogging soon, so I will just take a minor recap.

We had a 220 group from Romania on to celebrate their highschool prom in a hotel. The first day I spend my ( Read more... ) -
I utterly and completely ADORE my job
... a sentence I never thought I would ever type, say or better yet think of. Yes, after three fail starts in the world of employed people I find myself in the flirt stage with my work. It gives me time to study and time to relax. It let's me use my all time favorite foreign language and you guessed it: English. It gives me back the money I spend ( Read more... ) -
and the epic tale continues...
Right now I am on day shift at the hotel and am way more relaxed than expected, but this is perhaps because the hotel has college students, who have organized teaching hours and studying for exams. So the inflow from requests towards the reception have been a small amount, plus my immediate superior - teacher is one hall way away and I can whine ( Read more... ) -
WTF Murphy: The Sequel
Why does mister Murphy takes such strong delight in torturing me? Am I that entertaining squirming from discomfort and panic? Yesterday was my first night shift and I had to stay there 16 hours, 4 additional, in order to learn to operate everything. The wireless for the whole lobby was down and since everybody here is a student in college they need ( Read more... ) -
WTF Murphy
Thursday was so hectic that I couldn’t find the energy to even sit down and reply to the comments I had in my mail, which just shows how tiring the whole day was. First stop was the hotel inspection, where I will start working officially from today and I thought that I would just look around and get instructed how work on the programs and such.
