Thats Odd

Well, tonight i feel very odd! I'm not really sure why, i had a great night last night with mother's day dinner and today i have just been feeling odd. I was telling a friend about an assignment and he helped me realise that it was probably becuase i have all the Hayman issues over my head and also now this assesment due tuesday that i havn't started and is where i have to design and make a menu for: a wedding of about 250ish give or take 100 : P (i have chosen) Hopefully i will get it done and make it look great....it has inspired me (along with other things) to get tinto a bit more cooking and while i can't cook all the dishes i want to put on the menu, i want to get back into more cooking.....maybe even set myself a "cook for a week" challenge (maybe one time when i don't have an assesment due in two days!) I have kind of done it before but its been a while....we will see....

Some signs to keep you going

I have absolutely no idea about what to write!!!!!!

Well, this is the first time i have been stumped...i was almost last night but tonight i am completely...i know....I'm going to the church working bee tomorrow and i'm really excited... i missed the last one but i am able to go to this one....i'm looking forward to it!!!!! then i'm off up the coast for a day or so then back to work...and my bro has a band and is perorming in a school comp....that is sooo cool!

The Con

Had a rather good day today, i was luckily enough to attend the Convsevatiorium of Music's Chrsitian group this arvo... it was a great, i meet some really great people, had a great chat with one, the talk was really great, brought up things i have never thought about and so helpful! I look forward to going next week, it is nice to find some Christian contact near to uni. Thank you God for answers to the prayers.

Now i'm exhusted from going to the gym and then playing soccer!

What 'exactly' does a porter do i wondered to myself....

Found this on the internet....not sure about the word bellhop (what; you ring a bell and we hop - yeh probably pretty accurate!)......

"Bellhops and porters usually work in hotels rather than motels. Like all employees in the hospitality industry, their main goal is to make sure that the guests enjoy their stay. In some hotels the duties of bellhops and porters are similar; however, bellhops usually work inside the hotel, whereas porters work outside.

Bellhops carry guests' luggage, show guests to their rooms, and make sure that everything in the room is in order. They check the lights, ventilation, and heating and show guests how to use the air conditioner, television, and telephone. If any equipment is not working properly, bellhops report this to the maintenance department so that it can be repaired as soon as possible. Bellhops may also give guests information about the hotel and local tourist attractions, deliver packages, run errands, and bring food and drink orders to guests' rooms. They also carry luggage for guests who are leaving.

In large hotels bellhops are supervised by a bell captain. Bell captains give the bellhops their assignments, train new bellhops, record the bellhops' hours for payroll, and handle complaints made to their department.

Like bellhops, baggage porters handle baggage and suitcases. They deliver luggage to a guest's room on request and, when the guests are prepared to leave, arrange to have the bags shipped and carry them to the loading platform. Porters mail important papers and packages for guests and sometimes run errands that take them away from the hotel—buying tickets to a theater or sporting event, for instance."

.....Yeh, sounds accurate, sounds like fun!

Yay...got a credit for first comms essay! Pleased, dont have to redo....

New Bible.....

Well here are some pics of my new chunky bible...i got it not too long ago

Its really good, i like that it helps you read through the bible, give you pointers, it has people profiles to get to know people and lots of help. one other thing i want to start doing which i've never really done in past bible is start making notes for future reference. As in on of the above photos, some will be definitions, some might be things collected from servces or wisdom pased on from others, not sure about my own 'wisdom'..... don't feel that they would fit

And yes thats a list of the books of the bible there in the cover...its so big that its too hard to 'flip' (more like weight lift) to the contents when i need it.....

Get a life!!!!!!!!

I have been sitting on my computer all day long just writing.....not doing work that i could be finishing.........i have completed at least my once a day quota........mw, go out and live life a little!

Cya
God Bless

ps... Hayman update....resume and application letter sent off.........

100 and counting...or is it....

I noticed that my counter for views of the blog was 100 (after some back and forthing from myself to get it up the extra 14 or so..don't know why...just started and it became addictive...closer...closer....) i wonder how many are people who have actually viewed it or is it just me continually reading it, changing it, cheking its right, and learning about myself.....?

Cutting it close.....

oooooohhhh, just of the ferry from a night out and qickly get on for the 5th....phew....

Well, two things i might go into quickly, 1. show how in depth the discision process for Hayman was...i did my homework and 2. Reply from Hayman.....and from a special request...maybe some chuck norris....(just like to point out that i don't write them....not taking the glory here....just passing them on...)

First, as the picture shows, thoses are my good and negative points above....working through the decision..well thought out...

Second, got a reply back from hayman, saying, thanks for email... yes send resume...only F&B and Housekeeping probably avaliable at the moment... but still to apply.... so i will see how it goes......

and now to finish off......you'll have to forgive me if some are duplicates...

-When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night he checks his closet for Chuck Norris.
-Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there.
-In fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.
-Chuck Norris kicked Neo out of Zion , now Neo is "The Two"

-If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
-Chuck Norris once broke the land speed record on a bicycle that was missing its chain and the back tire.

Thats all for now...

Hayman So far.....

Well, the story so far is...

Hayman island came to talk to us last Friday at Uni. They presented a powerpoint on most of the stuff that i had seen looked up on the website (its so comprehensive! - http://www.hayman.com.au/) The stuff that was presented that i didn't know was mostly about the staff living quarters and staff activities which was good becuase i hadn't been able to see much of that stuff online. The presentation was mostly a bit negative, but it was explained that that was so people know what they are getting themselves into! - I know...

So, after presenting, they said that they would be back (they work on the island...but...**) on Monday/Tuesday and i think...it was suggested to hand in resume and application letter to course coordinator, however....! I asked and i think...(wasn't quite clear) that i am meant to wait until the instructions appear on the our website but the website where they would be found hasn't changed in ages....

The other day after working out (ooohhh-yeh be quite) at the Intercontinental's gym, i was linked up through a friend there with someone who worked for Hayman in sales (in the intercontinental**)and we had a casual chat and she gave the HR people a ring and left a lengthy message about me which was really nice... and i have sent an email to ask what my next step is....

That is where the journey is at the moment....I'm going for the Job and will see where i get too... and i know that God will be with me whatever happens!
