The front desk clerk job should be a challenge considering it's a 306 room hotel. I'm pretty sure there's two people on at all time. At least I hope so; especially at first.
If anybody famous comes to Bismarck they usually stay there so I might get to add to my famous people connection list.

It was inevitable, either that or talk about the Israel-Gaza strip invasion....
Didn't I hear the Swedish Bikini team was training in Bismarck?

OK.... The Swedish over 80 Male Bikini Team : Second String. And if you like, by string, I may well be refering to the bikini type rather than the team.....

Week ends off Sam? Give it a go...if you like it and are around for a while...likely you could get the tastier shifts later. In the meantime...have a card offering DJ services for any banquets that might be happenin' there....

My partner's best friends is a concierge, and has worked in a number hotels in Melboure. When I first met him, he was working in an old fashioned, stuffy hotel, you know the type with the giant chandelier, the Edwardian furniture etc...
We visited him there one day, it was really posh. Then he moved to a more modern hotel, it had a fountain in the lobby and it was always so humid in there! We stayed there one night, the hotel was lovely, and the elevator spoke to you and wished you a pleasant stay!

Well ol Jack is on his way to unemployment soon. 2000 jobs to go by the years end... So anybody wanting a handy man around, gimme a holler!!
I'm nearly free of charge. All I ask is 3 cold beers apiece, for each of my co-workers.. I think a man working, feels more like a man, when he can suck on a bottle of suds...

Dang Sam, 3PM to 11PM, does this mean you won't get to watch Minnesota Wild games? Do you think you will have internet access on the job or other perks, or is that pushing it?

Unfortunately I've only worked one shift at my new job.
The day before I was to start I had symptoms which i felt were related to food poisoning. My first day on the job (last Monday) I was still feeling lousy but went in since it was my first day at a new job; if I was at a job that I've been at awhile I would have called in sick. I had last Tuesday off but was still feeling lousy, by this time I felt I had the stomach flu instead of food poisoning. Woke up last Wednesday and still felt lousy so I went in to see the Doctor who told me to drink Pedialyte like it was going out of style. He also gave me two days off from work. Friday I was scheduled again and still was not up to working as my flu symptoms were still around.
I was scheduled off for the weekend and my flu symptoms finally started to go away.
However since this past weekend I've been very lightheaded and very weak in my limbs. My new job requires me to be on my feet for the entire shift and being light headed like I've been I haven't been able to go to work.
Finally yesterday morning I went into see my Doctor again to see just what the heck is going on. This is a huge concern to me as I haven't called in sick to work for probably five years (not counting time off related to my back and gallbladder surgeries. My Doctor says he thinks it could probably be some other virus other than the flu but he also noticed on my blood work done last week that one of my liver enzyme numbers is a little elevated; this same number has been elevated in the past but not to the point to make him concerned' but he did notice that it was a little higher than usual.
He ordered more blood work for me yesterday; they took 8 tubes out of my arm. I also had an ultrasound done on my abdomen, thankfully I hadn't eaten or drank anything for over twelve hours so I was able to do that yesterday instead of scheduling for a later date. I've also been collecting my urine all day today as they want a 24 hour urine collection from me.
So right now it's a waiting game for me as I wait the results from my tests. Done some research on the internet on just what could be wrong but there's just so many things it possibly could be that it's mind boggling.
Not sure on the status of my job either.

Alot of times the liver enzymes being elevated are coming from an infection in your body...that could be from a virus/flu. Food poisoning usually doesn't last longer than a day or 2. If it is longer than that-it isn't food poisoning. Drinking Gatorade is one of the best things to do...you need to flush everything out of your system.
I have come to this realization about Health issues....doctors really can't do a whole lot for people on anything other than surgery-if it is something major-and they can perscribe medicine- which half the time they get the diagnosis wrong in the first place. You have to be very pro-active about your health. If you read the internet though-you'll think your dying, because every major illness has the symptoms of anything else you can think of.
You guys were talking about drinking and all that in another thread, and I got bashed for saying I don't do it...but the reason I don't (other than all the stuff I said), is because of how seriously bad it is for your health. If you do drink...and your having liver problems- don't drink alcohol. Take a look at a picture of an alcoholic's liver- what alcohol does is it is a diuretic- it deplets all the water out of your system. That's why people who drink look like they are 70, when they are 35. The first thing it attacks is your liver. You body isn't meant to drink alcohol- that's the part that floors me about people drinking....your body is telling you to stop- when people are throwing up- that's your body's way of saying your going to kill yourself with alcohol poisoning. Because that is exactly what anyone is doing when they drink alcohol- they are poisoning themselves.
Sam-I am only saying this stuff...incase you really are having a serious liver problem- you have mentioned drinking numerous times- so if I was you- that would be the first thing I would omit from my lifestyle.
