Totally Slacking at Work ... a Work Post

I have had 2 friends of mine come to me recently and tell me that they miss me writing. So right now, it is totally slow at work and I am breaking the rules and blogging. And if they fire me ... So be it.

A lot of things have gone on since I stopped blogging about 6 weeks ago. Work sucks. It is so slow, I can not book anything to save my life. And its not like I'm not trying. The leads have almost stopped coming in and the phone calls lately have stopped also. It is almost back to being as horrible as during the summer ... and we are supposed to be in the busy season now. I know a lot of it has to do with the economy but I am totally shocked.

I have been looking for other jobs. Last night, I applied to 5 different jobs today and put my resume in all of the major ski resorts around here along with a few places up in Heber ... no call backs or anything. It is kind of sad. I am trying to not make it mean that I am someone who doesn't want to be hired.

What I really want to do is move back over to working my own Travel Business. SO SERIOUSLY ... IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WHO WANTS TO GO ON A VACATION, TO ANYWHERE, HAVE THEM CALL ME. (800) 644-8820. My Mom came to me a few weeks ago and told me that she can't handle all of her Corporate Travel right now. And of course, I jumped for joy. It was a total silver lining in a nasty black cloud of work. Well, I get down with my Mom and it finally comes out that she wants me to take over her Corporate Travel ... eventually. Silver lining just went away. But she does want me to take over a little bit of her Corporate Travel. Right now we are working on the exact details. Possibly a slit, where she will guarantee that I will have a certain amount of bookings a week. That's a possibility and then I will just work my tail off for other bookings.

Its funny though, I have found that the Cruise Industry hasn't been hit as hard with the economy as the Ski Industry. I just booked 4 rooms in a cabin and have a couple more as a possibility.

I hate the effects that this is having on my relationship also ... There has been major stress with Scott and I. It is hard for me to pay my bills and Scott would like to have my income to help pay for our billings, and I would really love to give him my income to pay for our bills. And just not to have to worry about it. To be able to go on trips and vacations and not worry about how we are going to pay for it.

We'll see where it goes. I will definitely keep you posted as to the updates.
