Life as a Manager

Another day in paradise

This has become my favorite phrase these past few weeks. I became the manager of a hotel with 68 rooms. This promotion occured on August 19th. Some days this is a good thing, some days I wish I would have said no. Here is the interesting part. Everyone I have met and talked to in coporate say that I am doing great. Yet no one has even visited to see what I'm doing. To make things more interesting I haven't even been officially trained. My previous bos taught me how to not cuss out a guest and how to do some of the paper work. The rest I have had to learn as I go. I even asked my regional to stop by and show me how to accomplish his schedule, yet he still hasn't shown up.
There is a new hotel going up down the street. I am waiting until they are underway and then I will put in my application. I will like working for a company that wants a General Manager not a all around manager.
I'm currently the Housekeeping manager, mantainance manager, front desk manager, assistant manager, sales manager and General Manager. And somehow I am suppose to be able to it all everyday. WHATEVER!!!
I just do what I can and hang the rest. Hey if they won't properly train me, why should I worry?
