I LOVE my Job!

I am so blessed to love my job. I know it doesn't pay well and requires no actual skills, but I LOVE it.

I love the hours I work. Monday-Friday 4:15am-10:45am. Soon, I will be working even better hours. Monday-Friday 8am-1pm! Those are the best hours ever!!! I can sleep in until 5:30-6, (Ya, that is sleeping in for me.) work out, shower, eat breakfast and then go to work. To be off at 1 o'clock is fantastic! I can still do errands and clean and cook. (Not saying those will actually get done, I just have time to do them!)

I love what I do. I check ID's, keep the facility clean, wash and fold the towels, and most importantly, sit there and look pretty. =D

My FAVORITE part of my job though is the patrons. In the early mornings we have PT groups that come in. They call me ma'am and I actually like it. The mid-morning crew that comes in from 8-10 are my favorite. These are the retires who know my name and I know theirs. They tell me stories about the military back in the day, or their grandchildren, or talk about what they would do if they won the lottery. They also tell me I'm awfully nice to look at. I have received 2 marriage proposals. Though I know they are completely joking, I love it. I can totally be won over with flattery.

Today was my very favorite patrons birthday. Mr. Eddie. He turned 72 today. We were talking last week about how we are just a week apart and our numbers are flip-flopped this years. He is 72 and I will be 27. He comes in every Tuesday and Friday. Those are my favorite days to work. He likes to complain about this and that as a typical older person, but he is just a nice guy. I got him a birthday card today and I know he loved it. He gave me a sincere thanks and said that he loved me. Then he said if anything ever happend to my husband, he would swoop in for the steal. Ha! It made me happy to let him know that he is special to me.

It is amazing that just a year ago, doing the same thing at another facility, I was miserable. I know that life has its ups and downs and I'm thankful that I'm in an up season. I hope that you are in an up season, and if not, don't worry, it's coming.

I love you guys. Have a great weekend!
