Killing time....

I am here with lots of time on my hands right now as it’s still considered ‘slack’ time.  This weekend should pick up a little bit, because of Thanksgiving reservations at the resort, but we are still lacking snow, so the ski mountains aren’t open yet.  I have had two nights of ‘training’ which have been mostly just my manager having pity on a bored, lonely girl and allowing me to just come to work and kill time there.  We have had next to no business since there are no people at the resort yet.  Tonight should be busier for my last night of training since everyone coming for the weekend checks in today.  I am working on my own, making tips starting tomorrow night.  Yay!!!  It will be relatively slow again for a couple weeks, but then the couple weeks before Christmas through January are supposedly just crazy busy.  We have live music everyday/night, jazz piano, drums, bass.  Tonight is the first time I will get to hear it and I’m excited for that.  

Duchin Lounge is the lounge in the main lodge.  It’s primarily cocktails with a very limited appetizer menu, so the work will be very different that my previous experience, since I am not ‘waiting tables’ at all, but only cocktailing.  It should be a good change of pace.

Until work picks up, I really need to find something to do.  There is plenty to do in this town if you have the gear.  It’s still nice enough to bike the trails, but I don’t have a bike.  I will probably start taking walks.  I spent the entire day in my little dorm room yesterday because I didn’t know what to do, and then of course felt like a loser for wasting time.  So I will NOT do that anymore.  I got out of the place today, came into Ketchum, wandered around town and through the second hand store, now chilling at Tully’s coffee for the internet. :-)

I think I will one of these days go around and take pictures so I can post them on my blog.  Maybe today actually.  I was originally scheduled to work at 2, but my manager called and asked me to not come in until 6, so now I have the entire day.

I will be joining Adam, Sarah and Sarah’s family for Thanksgiving tomorrow, then driving back up here for work by 6pm.  I’m looking forward to hanging out with them again.
