It was a boring day at the hotel where I was working, it was a rainy day so a lot of guests didn't go out to explore the city, they stayed in the lobby waiting for the rain to stop. I really hated this routine every day waking up at 5:00 in the morning to be here around 6:45 and having to be friendly all day, they ask a lot from me. But I needed this job, I had seen an amazing hotel in Ljubljana called Grand Hotel Union, I was a beautiful hotel in the capital city of Ljubljana and you could only work there with a lot of experience. But I couldn't go there without any hotel knowledge of course so I decided to work in a hotel in my hometown first. I worked here for over 5 years now and I really loved it here, I had some amazing colleagues but I also had colleagues I couldn't stand but everyone has that at their job right? You can't like everyone. I first came here when I was 15, I was so young and I had no idea in what I wanted to do but I saw this advertisement online and I was like why not so I applied to this job thinking I wouldn't get it but well in the end I got it and I was so excited. Now that I've been here for 5 years I would've expected that I got some recognition from my boss but no.... I was still the same employee as I was 5 years ago! I didn't even got one function higher. But that bitch Jane got it and she worked here for only 8 months now. It was now 15:16 I had to over work yeyyyy I love when that happens.... I was counting the money from the cash register and when I finished with that I finally go home. And tomorrow it was all gonna be the same, wake up tired, go to work, be nice to people, hearing people complain, counting the cash register, going home.
I was still living with my parents. My parents were though people, they are so strict but I didn't care, I'm an adult now they can't say what I can or can not do especially when it comes to traveling. I love traveling with my whole heart, I wish I could travel al the time but I didn't have all the time or money in the world but when I could I go to a different county. My parents don't really like it but they can't change my mind.
When I walked in my parents immediately stated to complain about something to me. "Come on I didn't even stepped in the house" I yelled back. "LANA WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THE TRASHCAN TO THE STREET NOW IT IS FULL AND WE HAVE TO WAIT 3 WEEKS TILL ITS GETTING EMPTIED AGAIN". My mother yelled at me "jeez I'm sorry mom" I said back. I hated it when they still treated me like I was 16, I know I still live home so I have to live my their rules but that really sucks. I went straight to my room and changed into my at home clothes Aka my pajamas.
My room was connected to our garage and I was really happy with that, that meant I could sneak in and sneak out whenever I want. I know I'm 20 so I could stand wherever I'd like but not with my parents.... My parents also don't know that I smoke so I always do that outside on the garage roof. I was so tired from today, work was so tiering for me. I also was so mad that I still have the same function like come on I've been working there for so long now, I know how everything works and I know every secret spot there. I actually wanted to quit there and travel around Europe but I just couldn't.
Today I woke up a little late so I was a bit late at work. I was lucky that my boss (luckily) also was a bit late today. I sensed the night shift home and I prepared everything for my shift. And the day went by slowly but I was finally done with my sift and the next 2 days I had off so I was really happy but as I was about to leave my boss called me to his office shit what did I do this time. I didn't think much of it and I followed him to his office he pointed to a chair as a sign for me to sit down so I sat down on that chair.
" you probably wonder why I wanted to talk with you" my boss opend the conversation " yes I kinda and curious" I said to him with a little laugh in the end. "Did I do something wrong?" I immediately asked after it "no no don't worry you didn't do anything wrong" he said. "Well I called you to my office to talk about something, something I know you want for a long time" he said to me. "Oh what is it" I said. " I know you want to go to that hotel in Slovenia" he began. " and you work really hard" he went further on " I see a lot of potential in you!" Well if he saw a lot of potential in me why would he only put me behind the reception I thought to myself. " and I got an email from them saying that there is an open spot there, and they asked me if I knew a good candidate for that spot and I immediately thought of you" he said to me. I couldn't believe what he was saying and I also couldn't process it, I probably looked weird because I was completely in shock. "But there is a catch, he had sended this email to a lot of hotels so you are not the only one who wants to work there so there are some kind of try outs" he said to me. Shit how was I gonna win from all those people who also wanna go.
