Day 2

I can't believe it is still only day two of the series of afternoon shifts. Well Now at least I changed one of them to a from 10 till 18:30 shift just for tomorrow with the other trainee girl. Hope it works out we will have a hell of a day with 223 arrival guests. Let's start praying. Today we had some issues as well. As days pass by I think I am handling the chit- chatty trainee girl better. Or I just stopped getting angry at her. Seriously she tries so hard we should give her a little bit of time to learn. But her voice is indeed annoying sometimes. :)) Today we had some luggage issues, because the guest had a different name tag on the lost bag as he had on his reservation but during the night they will get their bags . Also I can't live without the hotel apparently I started my day with a nice call to the Concierge desk about the minibus I ordered the day before(already in the changing rooms). Julcsi the sweetest she is just smiled at my idiotism, to spend presc...

First day of hell.

Heyy:)) I know a little bit overdramatized title but hey five days in a row with afternoon shifts...that's something.  School just e-mailed me about the letter I gave them last week(what a fast sercice...) so I am going to have to go in for a meeting on Monday just to make my life busier. Anyways at least they took their time to reply me. Also as time goes by and I am supposed to know more and make less mistakes I make just more.Damn I want to be so good at this job, and I get th feeling sometimes that I am actually more organized than the other two trainees buts still there are some great things that they are better at, such as upselling (the pricier rooms) or just in certain walk-in guest questions. Still not giving up, just saying that this will get harder and harder.But I am cheerful since colleagues are still adorable , and I realized how I am opening up to everyone more and more. AND I added some of the girls on facebook *clapclapclap* I felt really great about...

Korean traditional dance and haircut day off

Image
Hey I had an eventful day-off. First I went to have a haircut in the morning(well around lunch time to be exact) because the length of my hair was bothering me as hell. After that I had a nice fruit salad at this awesome place where you can choose the ingredients yourself from the counter. A-MA-ZING In the afternoon also I had some shopping to do, but as usual I spent more money on useless stuff, than I spent on the things I actually needed.... Then I travelled through the city with bus, tram and metro to get to the Korean Culture Center for my first ever Korean traditional dance lesson.. I was so baaad at it, and the kind Korean volunteers were so nice and tried to help, but I was horrible. I felt so bad for them for the faces I made while I was trying hard. But they were doing it so beautifully *_* I am going to work hard to reach this level VIDEOTIME I hope I will be able to go to the lessons since my work schedule is kind of messed up, but this one I re...

Survivors

That's what we are with the other trainee form the hotel, we were at the desk only the two of us today in the afternoon and we did it. WE DID IT. WE ARE SIMPLY HEROES. just sayin' I double checked and the mistake I thought I made was not a mistake although I got scolded for another mistake, I accidentally deleted a credit card number so the reservation department had to look for it again with many many phone call to the travel agency with whom this booking and payment was arranged... After that I took off with a sour face and a fucked up mindset for the afternoon, saying sorry at least a dozen of times..... Anyways I got over it after dinner and I gathered myself to continue my awesome job. As usual there were some idiots, but fortunately for me , most of the complicated people went to the manager we had on duty today so I am glad that he was distracted from my mistakes. Other funny news I met the cute waiter from the bar again, he was nice as usual and made my...

Mondays

Hey:)) I know it is Tuesday but I just realized I forgot(again) to blog on Monday and I have some things to tell. Maybe I am really getting more and more tired by work and maybe I should just try and find a workplace with less working time or responsibilities(for of course less money) or just marry a rich guy . I am getting mad at people I love and it hurts so much after, also today I woke up thinking about how I might have made a mistake with a guest yesterday...gosh when I go in today I am ready for getting scolded(although I really hope I am just overreacting and at the and I was right).So it ain't good. I don't want to yell at those I love. Also I am very grateful to my cousin who made the past few days more exciting and I am looking forward to next week when she is back in the city again. As some of you might know I am doing a body cleansing diet, with a lot of tea(I started a few days ago so I am not that committed yet) but it is so hard , since at the hotel or ...

Lazy Ass

Hey, so contrary to my promise to blog everyday I missed yesterday and I felt so bad since I finally had something to write about, but yeah I am making up for it now. My lovely cousin from Canada just arrived the day before yesterday, so I basically spent the day with her and her friends(who are awesome people) after work. I kinda missed the morning shift, and today's happenings just made me realize how much more suitable I am for the am shifts rather than the afternoon/evening. Nevertheless I still have a long way to go, I had some ridiculous mistakes today but all in all it was fine. Other news that I found so many nice places, I will just link the home pages http://www.europakavehaz.hu/ first the Európa Kávéház , is a beautiful traditional confectionery and coffee place with alcoholic beverages and some sandwiches (called canapes) . It is exactly how I like to drink my coffee not Starbucks or Costa, or California style. It is pricy, but classy. Also my dinner ...
