The night before last after I got home from work I was thinking how I wished they would advanced me at work a bit. I have been doing a lot of the supervisor duties for the last few months. This is a seasonal job and it would be nice to have something on my resume that reflects what I have been doing there when I need to look for a new job in the spring.

Yesterday my boss radios me to come to her office. I thought she sounded kind of mad. I even asked my co-workers "oh no, does she sound mad?". I got to her office scared I am in trouble for something. But instead she asked me if I would be willing to step up to a supervisor role! She said she wanted to sooner but scince I only work 2-3 days a week it was hard to get it the okay from her boss.

Okay it's a little weird when you put something out to the universe and it gets answered so quickly ?!?

I know it's just a housekeeping job....but I have been on disability for 7 years. When I got this job I was so terrified that I would not be able to handle it even at 2 days a week. I was so scared I would fail, just no condifdence in job arena. I have never been promoted at any job even tho I work hard my bipolar symptoms always got in the way.

I had to handle a very hard guest that wasn't even checked in. Follwing me into the rooms I was cleaning trying to bribe me with $100 bucks to pull some weird stuff for him, very aggresively. My boss said I handeled the situation perfectly and that I should not have to deal with those issues since that is her job, but I could not get her to handle it since she was at one of our other hotels. I always worried how I would handle difficult situations because dealing with people in conflict is not my strong suite. Normally I would just cry.

I feel proud and like wait a minute.. I accomplished something that I didn't think I could. Maybe I can run my own Inn one day. Maybe I can handle this. Maybe I can make my dreams a reality.
