Let it be/Let it not be….

I recently experienced a troubling situation at work during a meeting about how the place is being operated and to make sure we all are doing our jobs.. I need some advice or maybe just need to vent. Ugh. Here it goes.

I have been at my job since 2007. This job has its perks but also its drawbacks. I’ve learned so much and have been given a great opportunity to advance in the hospitality industry. Which, I am 100 percent thankful for. During this time I have moved up several ladders to get where I am at, now. From a housekeeper to an manager. I work with some wonderful and diverse groups of people. And I can’t think of a better job to have. Well, other than being with animals all day. But I don’t have that luxury. 

A coworker that I have worked with just short of 9 years was told about a conversation that occurred during a very stressful time at work, and I can say, (I am NOT proud of how I conducted the situation. I acted rather than thought on it.) BIG MISTAKE.

During this time at work, our General Manager experienced a tragedy which in turn caused us to be short staffed. Already running on fumes due to her being off the previous week. I knew that I would be in for a along week. I am after all the Assistant Manager, I would have to take on some extra time. Which was fine because I completely understand. I am after all, a team player.. But I still have a right to bitch about it if I want. Right? No one here is as overworked as me.. I can say that with 100 percent certainty. 

So, fast forward to the day of the meeting..

I was under the impression that we were at this meeting to talk about some of the issues we were seeing and to help correct them. All employees had their time and said their peace. I soon realized that there was an alliterative motive in place. Somehow, the meeting was focused on me. About how I conduct as a manger. I was a little dumbfounded at first because, I’m like what could I have possibly done? I do my job and make sure everything is smooth for the GM. One of the front desk agents goes on to say that I don’t know how to remove a patron, the legality of it. Which I was unsure of at the time. And I fixed by asking the GM, the correct way to handle that kind of situation.

1st off- I am a Manager. I do not have to explain to other what I know or what I am doing other than my GM. As long as I am doing my job, there should be no question about my work ethic.

2nd-I asked what other problems she felt she had with my job and she couldn’t find any other issues. Problem solved. :/ But wait? I thought I didn’t know how to conduct myself, so what other issues do I have? I never did get any other answers. Moving on. Really no biggie.

As that issue is dying down, its the next employees turn to speak. And wouldn’t you know it. It’s about me. Lol. Yea, I’m not making this up lol.

Previously, I had spoken to an old supervisor about an issue I was having with an employee, Because she had worked as a supervisor, I inquired about the situation and listened intently to see if I could find any way to solve this issue. This old supervisor which is related to the GM, went and told the employee that I was bad mouthing this other employee. Told her that this employee, I felt wasn’t being fair and it was very disrespectful to not help out and to make me work 7 days for the week when front desk employees only had 32 to 40 hours.Which was not my intention. {Not sure if I said this but I am still in training to become an actual manager.} 

Whatever. Over that situation but I can’t help but go back to this employee mind frame. Why? Jealousy?When I look for wisdom, why would i get a slap in the face. This is NOT professional at all. I also do so much for this gossiper.. Matter of fact, the same day as meeting I gave her a 60 dollar bag of dog treats. I’ such a horrible person, right?

What bothers me more than these issues, is that not one person had my back. After working overtime and trying to help these girls out, this is what i get. After, 12 years, this is what I get………….

Thoughts? Am I in the wrong?

 

 

 

Antonia- Ancient Immortal Angel Series

Hello my name is Taylor Clark-Burger and I am a recently published author.

A little over a year and a half ago I decided to do something that I felt would leave a mark of myself onto this world. Or at least I hoped I would. I wanted to Immortalize a part of me that will live on long after I’m gone. Since I have no kids, my name will be long forgotten years after I’m gone. And I felt like I couldn’t except that. Who wants to be forgotten?

It’s been a long hard road to get where I’m at today. I had many of nights dealing with frustration and failure. Wondering why it was so important for me to compete this project. Not once did I ever think about quitting. Writing is just my thing, I guess. I’ve always been motivated to succeed in life but I have never found something that made sence to me.. Never in my life have I ever completed something so awesome.

Eight long months of creating my very own world and characters.. But all those long days and nights wasn’t all for nothing. Just as I dealt with the bad, I also was able to create something others could enjoy as well. I’m happy to announce the release of Antonia which is the first book of Ancient Immortal Angel series. 😁

Here are a few links where you can purchase the digital copy of the book.

Art (DIY wood Photo transfer. )

I have been feeling extremely creative as if late. Not only have I been writing but I have also been painting on canvas. For some reason my artsy signature has changed. Could be good…

My newest project is a DIY picture transfer on wood. If you would like to try it out here is what you’ll need.

1. Photo transfer Modge Podge or gel medium.

2. A printed copy of photo from a laser jet printer on normal copy paper. Also remember to mirror the image donitncomes out right. (Do NOT use an actually photo on photo paper, it will not work.)

3. A squeegee type instrument.

4. A sponge.

5. Piece of wood. (It will also work on canvas.)

Directions: Make sure wood is free of debris. Map out where you would like photos to go. Once done apply modge podge or gel medium to the piece of wood. Use the sponge to apply gel. Lay the mirrored image face down and smooth with squeegee. Do this until all pictures are face down on wood. Once you are finished, apply the modge podge directly on all the pictures. This is where the sponge comes in handy. Let dry for 24 hours. Use soft side of sponge and lightly remove top layer of photo. Don’t scrub too hard or the picture will come off. Apply whatever else you would like to decorate.

If anyone one tries this please let me know how it worked and your thoughts.

The easy part of writing is immortalizing your thoughts on paper. From the time you write or type those words on paper and or a typewriter; a story starts to form and it’s a wonderous accomishment. But like with everything good in our lives, there is also a possibility for your work to become daunting, unreconzided and possible a public failure. All you want is the world to see this amazing story but you feel so vulnerable putting yourself out there. Wondering if your thoughts and words will affect another persons point if view, for better or worse.

What we fail to remember is that we all have singler tastes. What pleases one might not please another. We just keep on writing for the few we have captured. Books are our canvas and and we must create our medium.
