so another horrid day working at lodging. i'm really starting to hate it here. with the new hire training, that means chrissy and lefler (ecpecially lefler) have been hovering around the front lobby desk instead of just hiding out in the back desks. for the past six-ish months, they have hid back there, 'working', leaving me alone to manage the front desk. whatever, i was okay with this. and since they never bothered me, i assumed that i was doing my job correctly. but now with them hovering they keep pointing these things out, making me look and feel stupid. for example;
lefler told me long ago, we do not let the phone ring and ring. if you are busy with a customer in the lobby, you answer the phone, put them on hold, then continue with the lobby customer. but today she scolds/yells at me, saying that when there is a customer in the lobby you're helping, ignore the phone. or ask the lobby customer if it is okay to answer the phone to put them on hold, then continue with the lobby customer. i'm angry and confused.
AND, lefler says if we don't understand something then we need to ask her about it. so this morning i asked her how to get into the off-base office in case i need to get a toy chest for a customer on the weekends. she got all snotty and told me to go find the keys. but both the filing drawers and the cabinet had no key for that office. so i asked her what the access code was for the backdoor. but she didn't know and got all frustrated. she said i needed to be less needy, more self-sufficent and find asnwers on my own. so much for asking her about things i don't understand. but ms. mary (housekeeping supervisor) told me the access code. she's awesome.
but chrissy and lefler left early, and the new hire only worked till 2:00, so i had the desk to myself, with no one around to make me feel stupid. if this keeps up, i'm worried my anxiety and depression may come back. i had finally conquered that a few years ago, and i don't want it all to come back.
and i know i said i would post some pages for the comic this weekend, but i had forgotten how long of a process comic making is. skeleton sketches, fleshed out sketches, then inking. and since i use a dip calligraphy pen and bottle of ink, it takes me even longer to ink. so i'm hoping to maybe post the cover page on sunday, and some more next weekend. if i don't then somebody needs to smack me upside the head, cause then i'm just dragging my feet and being lazy.
