It really sounds like doing two people's hours. Maybe there's a job out there that has things similar to what you did like about your job, but not exceeding the usual 40 hour work week! .Good luck, and hugs! {{{{}}}}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814866005541134025.post-7170773831527798732015-02-22T09:25:30.086-05:002015-02-22T09:25:30.086-05:00Thank you, Patricia.

I'll find my way, in time, but for now, I'll do so one small step at a time.

The hours (12-14 a day for 6, sometimes 7 days a week) are just far more than understood and it leaves little time to have a life. Harder when you are single living in the city with one income and don't have that person to lean on or talk to. If I were in my 20's it would be different, but in my mid 30's it isn't conducive to what I know I do want in life. That said, those with whom I worked are some of the greatest, kindest, most supportive and truly good people I've ever known and I know the hotel will shine with them at the core.Lieslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12587832632977708348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814866005541134025.post-19081933380707332292015-02-21T21:09:08.394-05:002015-02-21T21:09:08.394-05:00Oh, I thought it sounded like you loved working in...Oh, I thought it sounded like you loved working in the hospitality (hotel) industry.
