Overload

There is a reason to my madness of work but did I think it was gonna get this crazy, no  I didn't. Worked 11 straight days and at 3 different properties. This didn't even included my full time job that was calling me into work for uncovered shifts. Meanwhile will with any little spare time to do homework. I sucked it up an prepared to do my best. Going from early starts to late night I didn't really have time to eat. The one thing I had told myself was never miss school. Talked to the big boss man and he said "I am sorry but we need everyone that day". I asked to show up late but was then denied. That Saturday I found out why he needed everyone there. We was holding the Concord De Elegance Car Show which is one of the prestige car shows you can enter a vehicle in. Some people said they was invited in and some had to pay a big purse to enter. Cars from the 1920 to brand new exotics to one of a kind to cars in movies. This was one in the books for me. It took us 3 days to setup 30 bars and 4 bars was in the middle of the golf course. Yes you guessed it we didn't have any golf cart to transport anything out there. All we had was push cart and flatbed carts. My body was hurting after the break down of all the bars. Of course we had to take everything back once the show was done. I am so glad that I get the next 2 days off. Is it a day off when you are trying to play catch up.

We All Have A Story

Have you heard the term, " never judge a book by its cover". This blog is about people in general. Everyone has a story but are we willing to read the book or just the chapter or neither. You can relate the book being about the persons life and the chapter be years, months, weeks, or just days. Getting to know a person before you pass judgement maybe time consuming but just knowing or reading a page or two might give you a better perspective on how or why they are the way they are at the moment. I do fault myself at this at times. For the most part I try not to pass judgement on people before I get to know them. My book is still in the work and it's a very interesting to read. All in all is that before you pass judgement on a person read a page or two, so you have a better understanding of there life.

Going On Vacation With No Homework

For some of you may not know this about me is that I was never a school kind of guy. I had bad grades and I hardly ever showed up for class. After getting my GED in 2014 (18yrs later) I decided to go back to get my education. After raising a family and having work experience I knew I had to be focused and dedicated to get good grades. Being almost done with all my classes I went on vacation, but because I was so far ahead I was instructed to enjoy my family and not to do homework. The accomplishment that I have done was rewarding. I was able to spend time with my family and not stress about having to do homework. Cause I set my standards so high I felt like I missed a whole week of school. Yes I did bring my laptop and yes I did try to do homework (10 comments on blogger), but I was on vacation and I was told no homework while I was away. It felt so good that I didn't have to worry about homework the only thing that was bugging me was work. They was trying to get me to come in, and I even have a new place texting me for side work. All in all my vacation was amazing with no homework I just felt like I missed a week of school.

Printing Files

I am an old school kind of guy. What I mean by that is I like to have a hard copy in my hand. This is where we are able to print files to be able for quick reviews of something that is more portable than a desktop or a laptop or even a tablet. Not every employer will give there staff a tablet to go to work with. So printing out a brief description of your job duties will come in handy. Imagine trying to remember 20 to do thing for your whole day, if not always running to a near by office to see what is the next thing on your to do list. Having a printed copy of the list that your able to fold, crumble, tear up, and mark on is way better and cost efficient for employers.

Vegas Strong

5 years ago on this very day Vegas had one of the worst tragedy that happen in the city. For some of you that doesn't know what happen. The Route 91 shooting happened. What is it, a gun man from the top floor of Mandalay Bay opened fire on concert goers at The Route 91 Festival. 58 people had fallen from this tragedy. This was a little close to me cause I had family and friends that was attending and working the festival. As shots rang out chaos broke out, people was diving for cover. I don't mean for this to be a sad blog but this is a day we will never forget. The stories I have heard from people and how it changed there lives made me think about mines. We are Vegas Strong and will  keep moving forwards. Please take a moment on this day to honor the innocent people that lost there lives at Route 91, and remember we are Vegas Strong.
