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.

Wow congratulations! That is great! That is wierd how you were just thinking about how you wanted to move up and just like that you got it. Dream big. Yes you can open your own inn or do whatever you want. Remember just because we have bipolar it doesn't have us! I am trying to accomplish my dream of opening my own art business. I am a shell artist. Very quickly a new shop in town wanted to display my work (a good friend of mine opened the shop so I had an in) so now it is like I have my own gallery/shop on the ocean with someone else doing the selling and I am so excited about that. We have to dream big and make it a reality! Congratulations!

totally cool! Congratulations!

That's awesome Anika !! You totally could run your own inn!!! That sounds like a fun cool thing to do. I'm so so so happy for you lady!!!!!

[faerie_moon_x]

Awesome!!

Great Job!

so what are you going to name your Inn?

[BlueInanna]

The BP B&B !! Totally joking, that would get wild.

But seriously I could see you running such a nice inn, sewing the curtains, painting, decorating. Gardens for fresh foods. You're going to be awesome at it. I still can't decide what to do when I grow up. . Maybe an astrophysicist or an arborist.
