Another day, Another dollar

So today was my 4th day of work this week, out of 44.5 hours I've worked 33.75 of them. Does not sound too bad, but when you're days are 12 hours, 11 hours, 9 hours, etc, long it definitely takes a toll on you. On top of it I am attempting to study for the LSATS. Key Word: Attempting. It is not really going well. I have never been good at studying, but even now when I really need to because my future career depends on it I still lack motivation. This week I have further established that even when I get asked if "Hablas espanol" and I answer "asi asi" or "un poco" the spanish speaking guests still think that means I am 100% fluent and try to talk to me at 100 miles per hour in spanish. Asi asi means so so, not that I am fluent in spanish. I guess we translate that differently. Another thing I have learned this week is that even after spending all day encouraging guests to defeat bad habits and lead healthy lifestyles in one of our venues I still go home starving and eat as much junk food as possible. Probably not what the sponsors were looking for. At our closing meeting tonight we were informed that the newest venue in our building is going to be closing down until its grand opening in march for some work. Apparently on the blogs and in person, guests have been commenting on areas of the venue that they liked and didn't like and things about it that they think need to be changed. Because they take guests opinions very seriously here, they decided to close the venue and take to heart exactly what the guests said. That to me shows how important the guests are to where I work. Without the guests there would be no reason for us to come to work everyday, therefore it is important to value their opinion. Well, I have to work 11 hours tomorrow before I get two days off so that's all for tonight. Have a magical weekend!
