i thought of other news

so, did you know my brother doesn't work at the hotel anymore? yep. it turns out that his new boss (his old boss' boss) is an ass. he was already trying to do his job, cover shifts for a bartender who had just quit, and try to find time to interview people to be a bartender and weekend night auditor (to replace the one who had moved up to during the week after that one had quit already). plus he had one desk clerk who was out for injuries from a car wreck, and another about to go on maternity leave. and then his whole staff starting turning in two week notices hand over fist after the boss had a particularly asshole-y week. and what was the boss (owner son-in-law, by the way) doing while my brother was running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to hold the place together and clean up boss' messes? golfing and picking out hardwood floors for his new house. so the boy decided he couldn't take it anymore and quit, complete with yelling, and an apologetic phone call a few hours later from the boss.

he has a new job now, although he hasn't started yet. more money for less responsibility (although less hours, so about the same money really), at another nice hotel MUCH closer to his house. he'll get benefits and a free meal per shift at the restaurant that's affiliated with the hotel. i think it's a hell of an improvement really, and i'm sure they'll be finding him some extra responsibility soon enough. his employers always do.

also, if all goes as planned, i'll be a redhead when i see you next. unless i'll see you in about 12 hours when you give me a ride to work, or you happen to need some craft stuff tomorrow evening.
