Why yes . . . I am wearing a muumuu

Don’t you love when people say they are going to train you and then they don’t? They just kind of assume that by watching someone do something once will be plenty of explanation for all of the whys, how, and any of the other questions you may have. I feel like I’m seeing a trend here, but then again that’s kind of just the hospitality biz for you.

My day started off great; I went on a long walk in the morning and enjoyed reading the paper and eating breakfast on the lanai in Café Hanalei. So I went in today to work at the front desk from 2-10 and the person who was suppose to be training me was named Vilma. She didn’t know that she would be training me and when she did have me she really didn’t explain much of anything to me. She’s very good at her job and has been here for a while, but she didn’t really seem to want to explain things to me. So this led me to kind of follow her around and ask questions where I thought necessary. It was a very slow night, so for about 5 hours I prepared key packets and filled them with different promotional flyers. While I was up at the front desk, I noted things that went on and tried to pick things up as much as I could.

And yes . . . I got to wear a muumuu . . . and it was glorious. Tomorrow I’ll be working from 10-6, so we’ll see what’s in store for then!
