Just a quick note, it has been what feels like a long week, or at least my tootsies tell me so. Next week will be extra long with an additional day plus CPR before work on Tuesday. I am in the final countdown for Mel's visit up here, that is sure to pull me through the week ahead. I am happy that on this visit I am not in recovery from surgery, and will get us out of the apartment and exploring some local areas. She was a friend indeed last September when I really needed her help, so this trip will be about having some fun!
I was called to the office today (and you have to know...it feels like a call to the principal's office in school)
I was sure I had done some minor infraction.....it happens. Instead I received an invitation to an Excellence Awards luncheon for next week before work. (yah! free food! Booo! a silly picture) I have not a clue who nominated me, but it is flattering. It is very nice to be recognized for hard work and good customer relations.
I will have to wait till Wednesday to find out who it was. I understand they have to write a speech and present it at the luncheon. Lol..I can feel myself turning red already.
CPR class is next week..my 18th class of this type I believe. Every year I worked at the Hospital in Prince Frederick it was required, and also with this job. We actually have had staff perform needed CPR on guests at this job. One of our supervisors quick CPR saved a guests life not long ago. At the hospital it was a given that a nurse or a doctor would be near for emergencies of this sort. It is a fact that with as many guests as we have per week that not all of them will be in the prime of health. There have been several occasions where someone's life was saved by staff and our First Responders. (EMT's on staff) There is usually a very heartfelt letter and thanks sent to the casino following those incidents. Security...we do it all. And in case you have ever wondered..WE ROCK! Nobody hustles like we do. In a 9.5 hour work shift, Swing shift kicks butt almost everyday.
I will fill you in on the particulars next week. Wishing everyone a great week ahead.
Oh..and take a CPR class...the person you save may be some you love.
hugs,
K
