A/N: this is not the last part I promise

Summary: You finally make it to the town you set out for all those days ago. Feelings get shared when you find a place to stay for the night.

18+ MDNI || WARNINGS: profanity, suggestive

        "Can't believe we left the map." Daryl shook his head as he drove. He finally got one of the cars working, though it had a strong gasoline smell as he drove it. 

        "You were in charge of it." You pointed out.

        "Don;t need it anyhow." He defended. Men and their pride when it came to directions never ceased to amuse you. "Should be 'bout thirty minutes up this road. We can load up some while we're there, get gas, hole up of the night, and loot s'more before we head back tomorrow."

        "Sounds great." You agreed. "If I have to go one more day without a shower I'm gonna kill someone."       

        "Can barely fight a walker off of ya. Who you gonna kill?" He teased.

        "I was distracted." You defended.

        "With what? The view?" He retorted. Well, yes, but you couldn't tell him that.

        "Whatever." You grumbled, crossing your arms and turning your attention out of the window.

        It wasn't long before the town you two originally set out for rolled into view. You spent an hour looting an old thrift store for some clothes and random things you thought the prison could use. Board games, soaps, hairbrushes, plates and bowls, you name it. If they had it, you took it. Next was the pawnshop for guns and ammo, which were pretty sparse but they did have some good knives and machetes. You also found an old DVD player and some movies that you thought might be nice for Carl or something. Daryl focused more on equipment. Golf clubs, tools, lawn equipment for when everyone started working on the garden.

        On your way out of the pawnshop with your load of treasure, you noticed a flyer on the window. 'MONTHLY FOOD DRIVE - DELIVER ALL GOODS TO 227 PINEBLUFF CT DR'

        "Hey, check this out." You called Daryl over. He squinted as he read it.

        "C'mon. Town's small. Can't be too hard to find."

----

        It wasn't hard to find. It was a church, of course. Wasn't hard to clear the place out, either. Just the pastor and a few ladies stumbling around. They had a bunch of canned goods stored in an office, which you and Daryl happily loaded up in the car.

        "Think this is a good spot to crash for the night?" You asked him. 

        "Nah. Windows are all busted. We'll find a little house or somethin." He said.

        So, when you guys were done with the church, you drove around for a little while, siphoning gas from random vehicles and searching for a house suitable for the night. He settled on a little blue house, with a fenced in front and back yard. He reasoned the fencing was good added protection.  Plus, the windows looked to be in tact and overall the place looked untouched.

        There weren't any walkers inside, but there also wasn't any food. There was, however, running water. Whoever these people were, they ran their house off filtered rain water. 

        While Daryl was working on blocking all the exits off with furniture and nailing blankets over the windows so nothing could see inside, you opted for a shower. It wasn't hot since the house had no power, but damn was it nice to feel clean. Well, as clean as you could get with no soap, anyways. The towels were all dusty, so you drip dried when you got out. When you were dry enough you slid into the extra outfit you packed, and found your way back out to Daryl. He had the house as safe as he could get it by then.

        "All yours." You told him.

        "Nah." He shrugged.

        "Uh, you smell like a biohazard." You insisted. He glared.

        "Yeah, shoulda smelled yourself. By day two in that tree house you were chokin' flies." He shot back.

        "And, would ya look at that, I showered!" You sneered. He huffed a little breathy laugh and shook his head as he grabbed his bag and disappeared to the shower.

        You were hungry, so you decided to light the gas stove and heat up a can of Campbell's chunky beef stew for the two of you to share. By the time it was done, he was out, so the two of you ate in silence before tossing the emtpy can and borrowed spoon in the sink.

        "It's not even dark yet." You commented.

        "Yeah. Best to get to bed early. We can head out first thing, make it back home by tomorrow night." He reasoned.

        "Guess so." You agreed.

        "Guess? You don't wanna get back?" He questioned.

        "And give up our quality bonding time?" You joked. He scoffed and shook his head. Damn, you were a smartass. 

        "'S that what ya call it?"

        "Yup. What else would it be?"

        "Thought we were stranded on an island." He recalled.

        "Oh, that. No, I was just hungry." You shrugged. "Never take me seriously when I'm hungry. I become a different person, really."

        He rolled his eyes a little. "Still wanna play that game?" He asked.

        "What game?"

        "Twenty questions."

        "Twenty-one questions, Dixon." You corrected. "And sure. You go first."

        "Alright." He nodded, pondering for a moment. He had a million questions he could ask, but somehow they felt too personal. Did you miss Shane? Were you ready to move on? Did you like him, or were you just a tease? Why did you always pick on him? Was it the same reason he always picked at you and gave you shit? "How ya like the shoes?"

        "They're good." You nodded. "I love them. Thanks again. Uh.." You thought for a second. "How long do you wanna grow your hair out?"

        "I dunno." He shrugged. "What'd ya like to do before the world went to shit?"

        "Hmm... Paint, listen to music, go go out and eat my weight in food from little hole in the wall restaurants." You recalled. "What kind of music do you like?"

        "Whatever was on the radio." He said. "You plan on movin' on?"

        That was an okay question to ask, right? He broke the ice pretty well, he thought, with the rapid fire Q&A flying between the two of you. He realized maybe not, though, because you seemed to really take your time with that one.

        "Don't see why not." You finally said. "I mean, he would, right? As long as I thought I found someone who would treat me right... Are you seeing anyone right now?"

        You asked the question so casually but it choked him up. He felt so naked, like a chicken with all its feathers plucked off one by one.

        "No." He cleared his throat. "Nah."

        Uncomfortable silence blanketed over the two of you.

        "Your turn." You reminded him.

        "Oh. Are you?"

        "Am I..?"

        "Seein' anyone." He clarified. You giggled a little.

        "No. But I have met someone. Real nice guy, actually. He gets me gifts and teases the hell out of me,  but I think he'd do just about anything for me." You smiled to yourself. He had to know you were talking about him, right? Wrong. He was clueless. Right over his head. He admittedly felt sad to hear it. Who was this guy? He kind of sounded like everything Daryl tried to be for you. "Do you like anyone?" You asked, taking him out of his swirling thoughts.

        "Nah." He shrugged. A lie, but everything he had tried to work up to was washed away when you said you met someone.

        "Oh." You said, slight sadness hinting in your voice. "Your turn." You reminded him again.

        "Who's the guy?" He asked.

        "Oh, you don't know him." You waved him off. If you could slap yourself, your would. What kind of lie was that? He knew everyone. There were literally less than ten of you if you didn't count the baby. 

        "Oh? Some kind o' pen or somethin'?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Then it hit him; you were talking about him. That's why it sounded like everything Daryl tried to be for you, because it was him. "Oh." He blurted quietly.

        Your face felt like it drained of blood completely. Well, way to completely humiliate yourself around the only real friend you had, huh?

        "You okay?" He asked.

        "Yeah." You nodded, forcing a smile, but your voice was sort of meek and squeaky. You shook it off, reminding yourself that you were, in fact, not the type to falter under pressure. This would be no different. So what if you liked him and he didn't feel the same? You could get past that. It was nothing--

        "(Y/N)." He snapped you out of your thoughts. 

        "Hmm?"

        "You asked if I like someone..." He trailed as he shifted uncomfortably.

        "Yeah?"

        "It's just -- I do, but... How do I know she likes me too?" 

        He didn't make eye contact as he asked. In fact, he looked quite literally everywhere except at you.

        "You just... ask. And if you don't wanna ask... Make your move." You shrugged.

        "Right." He nodded.

        Well, that conversation had gotten awkward enough for you, so you figured that was a good place to end it. You cleared your throat and stood up.

        "I'm gonna go choose a bed." You announced.

        You went to walk past where he sat on the couch but he stood up abruptly and cut you off.

        You looked up at him with confusion. What did he want? Your nerves were eating away at you and you were honestly pretty tired. You shifted your weight anxiously.

        "Daryl--" You went to complain about it but he had other plans. He gripped your arms firmly and smashed his face into yours. Like, actually smashed. It hurt. "Ow." You mumbled as you rubbed over your mouth. He gulped. It was supposed to be a kiss. Was he always so clumsy?

        "Sorry, I--"

        "Were you trying to kiss me?" You asked. He just stared at you. "'Cause, I gotta tell ya,you could really work on your technique." You smirked. 

        When he remained frozen, you began to feel bad for teasing him. He clearly had no idea what to do now. His hands were even still rested on your arms.

        "Here, let me show you." You whispered. You reached up for his face, his hands sliding softly off of your arms. When your palms found his checks,you tippy-toed up a couple of inches, and slowly leaned in, placing your lips softly on his. It wasn't a long, rhythmic kind of kiss. It was just simple and soft, and it lasted just a few seconds longer than a quick peck-and-go.

        His eyes were still closed when you pulled back, a tiny smile slowly spreading over your lips. When his eyes opened,he looked disappointed, like he was waiting for more. 

        He leaned down slowly, a little unsure. He was waiting for you to stop him, but you didn't. You pushed yourself back up on your toes o close the gap and snaked your arms around his neck. This time, it was deeper. You slowly moved your lips, allowing him to find the rhythm and synchronise. When he felt a little more confident, his hands gripped your hips and he quickened the pace.

        Slowly, he eased you down onto the couch. You gladly followed his lead. When you were comfortably seated, his lips peeled away and his kisses found their way down from your cheek to your neck to your collarbone. Oh, this was going to get good.

A/N: next part will be spicy ;)

A Personalised Gift that is Meaningful 

Nothing can beat a personalised gift for father. It shows them what you feel in the perfect way. A simple mug, if your father loves his tea or a journal, if he loves to write, can turn into something he will cherish forever.

Gifts Based on His Hobby

Giving your dad a present that reflects his passions might be really thought-provoking if he has particular interests or hobbies. Customising your gift to fit his interests shows how much you know him. 

Golf Accessories: If your father is an avid player, get him a new set of clubs, a personalised golf towel, or some high-quality golf balls.

Fishing Equipment: A father who enjoys being by the water will appreciate a new set of lures, a tackle box, or a high-quality fishing rod.

Gardening Supplies: A set of top-notch tools, plants, or a membership to a gardening magazine can make the ideal present for your dad if he likes gardening.

Art Supplies: New paints, sketchbooks, or craft supplies can help inspire your father if he is a painter or loves to explore his creative side. 

Gifts that Facilitate His Well-being

Father's Day is the perfect time to encourage your father to start working out. You can choose from a wide range of options. You can pick a yoga mat or a fitness tracker. You can also get them an annual subscription to a health club or a local gym. Stores like Sun & Sand Sports offer a wide range of sports and fitness equipment and apparel. 

You can pick massagers and at-home workout equipment as well. If they are already in fitness, they will greatly appreciate these gifts. 

Things to Consider When Picking a Gift

There are two things you need to consider when choosing the best gift for father. These are:

His Likes and Lifestyle: Assess what your father loves to do and how he typically spends his day. Gifting something that will make any of his everyday tasks easy can be a great help for him. Consider his hobbies.

Balance between Personal and Practical: Choose something that will be a useful item and try to make it customised. If it is not possible, add something personal to it, like a handwritten note or a card. You can also opt for gift hampers. 

Final Words

Father's Day is not just about the material gifts. It is about honour and expressing love in a way that will be special to your father. Whether it's a cologne or a photo frame, the idea is to select the item of desire that would make him happy. 

Forget the price tag and whether or not it is something high-end. Choose something that reflects your bond and your feelings in the best way. That will be the perfect gift for dad.

Ball Marker: A small but essential accessory, a ball marker is used to mark the position of your ball on the green. It's especially useful when multiple players are on the putting green.

Scorecard and Pencil: Tracking your progress is essential, and many sets come with a durable scorecard holder and pencil, so you’re never caught without a way to record your score.

Golf Towel: A good golf towel helps keep your clubs and balls clean, ensuring that nothing interferes with your shots. Towels are typically made of absorbent, high-quality materials designed to withstand heavy use.

Club Brush: Keeping your clubs in optimal condition is key to performance, and a club brush allows you to clean dirt and debris from the grooves of your clubs after each shot.

Golf Glove: Many sets include a Novelty golf items, which improves grip and reduces friction, making your swings more comfortable and precise.

To schedule a pickup, donors can visit the AMVETS website or call their local chapter. The process is straightforward; you’ll provide your address and details about the items you wish to donate. After that, AMVETS will confirm a date and time for collection.

The pickups typically occur during weekdays, but some locations may offer weekend options as well. It’s important to check availability in your area since schedules might vary across different states or regions.

When preparing for pickup, ensure your donations are packed securely and accessible on the day of collection. By following these simple steps, you can support veterans while making it easy for yourself to give back through AMVET donations.

Tax Benefits for Donors

Making amvet donations can be both a generous act and a smart financial decision. Donating to AMVETS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving veterans, often qualifies for tax deductions. This means that you may be able to reduce your taxable income by the value of the items you donate.

To claim this deduction, it's important to keep detailed records of your donations. You should document the items donated along with their fair market values. Having receipts or acknowledgment letters from AMVETS can also help substantiate your claims when filing taxes.

It's beneficial to note that not all donations are treated equally under tax laws. Generally, clothing and household goods in good condition are eligible for deductions, while other types of contributions may have different rules. Always consult IRS guidelines or a tax professional for specific advice tailored to your situation.

By contributing items you no longer need while potentially lowering your tax bill, you make an impact on both personal finances and the lives of veterans needing support—an excellent way to give back without compromising financial health.

Impact of Donations on Veterans' Lives

Donations to AMVETS play a crucial role in transforming the lives of veterans. Each contribution, whether big or small, directly supports programs designed for their well-being. These initiatives often include job training, mental health resources, and educational scholarships that help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.

Many veterans face challenges after serving our country. They may struggle with transitioning back to daily routines and finding stable employment. By donating goods or funds to AMVETS, supporters provide vital assistance that can lead to sustainable careers and improved quality of life.

Additionally, donations aid in providing essential services such as housing support and medical care. Accessing these resources allows veterans to focus on healing rather than worrying about basic needs. This kind of security is invaluable for those who have sacrificed so much.

Moreover, the camaraderie fostered by donation-driven community events helps combat feelings of isolation among veterans. Engaging with fellow service members creates a strong network where they can share experiences and support each other’s journeys toward recovery. Such connections are fundamental in enhancing overall well-being.

Conclusion

When considering amvet donations, it’s clear that your contributions can have a profound impact on the lives of veterans and their families. By donating items like clothing, household goods, and vehicles to AMVETS, you not only declutter your space but also support essential programs aimed at helping those who served our country.

The organization has garnered positive ratings for its transparency and effectiveness in utilizing donations. With convenient pickup schedules available, it’s easier than ever to make a difference without leaving your home.

Additionally, donors benefit from tax deductions when they give to AMVETS. This financial incentive enhances the appeal of donating while providing crucial resources that help veterans reintegrate into civilian life successfully.

Your generosity plays a vital role in changing lives. Every item donated contributes directly to improving services for veterans across the nation. Engaging with AMVETS through donations is more than just giving; it's about standing by those who stood for us.

Deciphering the Mysteries of Golf Glove Care: An In-Depth Professional Handbook

In the intricate world of golf, where precision and finesse take center stage, the partnership between a golfer and their equipment becomes a nuanced dance. Amidst an array of clubs, tees, and balls, the unassuming golf glove quietly assumes a pivotal role in shaping a golfer's performance. Beyond ensuring a secure grip, a well-maintained golf glove significantly contributes to the comfort and control experienced with every swing. This comprehensive guide embarks on the journey of mastering the nuanced art of golf glove care, with a primary focus on the crucial step of learning how to clean your golf gloves. Whether you're a seasoned player or a weekend enthusiast, incorporating these meticulous techniques into your routine can undoubtedly elevate your game.

Masterful Techniques for Cleaning Golf Gloves:

Cleaning your golf gloves may seem like a minor detail, but it can make a substantial impact on their durability and overall performance. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to expertly clean your golf gloves:

Assemble Your Cleaning Essentials:

Begin by gathering the necessary items for cleaning – mild soap or dishwashing liquid, a soft cloth or sponge, and access to lukewarm water. Having these supplies ready streamlines the cleaning process.

Dust Off Excess Dirt:

Before immersing your golf gloves, delicately remove any loose dirt or debris using a soft brush or your hands. This initial step prevents abrasive particles from causing damage during the cleaning process.

Create a Soapy Solution:

Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water and add a small amount of mild soap or dishwashing liquid. Mix the soap thoroughly into the water, creating a gentle, soapy solution for effective glove cleaning.

Perform a Spot Test:

Before applying the soapy water to the entire glove, conduct a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area. This precaution ensures that the soap won't lead to discoloration or damage to the material.

Thoroughly Clean the Gloves:

Dip the soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently clean the entire surface of the golf gloves. Pay extra attention to areas with visible stains or dirt buildup, using a light touch to preserve the delicate leather or synthetic material.

Rinse with Care:

Once cleaned, thoroughly rinse the gloves under lukewarm running water. Ensure complete removal of any soap residue to prevent potential skin irritation during future use.

Remove Excess Water Gracefully:

Gently press out excess water from the gloves without wringing or twisting them. Utilize a clean, dry towel to blot the gloves and absorb any additional moisture.

Air Dry in Style:

Allow the gloves to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Steer clear of direct sunlight and heat sources, as excessive heat can harm the glove material.

By meticulously adhering to these steps, you can clean your golf gloves with precision, preserving their quality and extending their lifespan.

Pro Tips for Golf Glove Cleaning:

Cleaning your golf gloves demands attention to detail, significantly influencing their longevity and overall performance. Follow this systematic guide for a meticulous cleaning process:

Assemble Your Cleaning Arsenal:

Ensure you have the essentials – mild soap, a soft brush, and lukewarm water. Having these items ready streamlines the cleaning process for efficient glove care.

Banish Excess Dirt with Finesse:

Start by gently brushing off loose dirt or debris from your golf gloves. This initial step prevents potential damage during the cleaning process, preserving the gloves' integrity.

Craft a Soapy Elixir:

Formulate a gentle, soapy solution by mixing mild soap into lukewarm water. This solution becomes the key element in effectively cleaning your gloves.

Spot Test for Pristine Results:

Before immersing the entire glove in the soapy water, conduct a spot test on a small, inconspicuous area. This precaution ensures that the soap won't cause discoloration or damage to the material. If the spot test proves successful, proceed to the subsequent step.

Glove TLC – The Art of Cleaning:

Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently clean the entire surface of the golf gloves. Pay particular attention to areas with visible stains or dirt buildup, using a light touch to preserve the delicate leather or synthetic material of the gloves.

Rinse Away Residue:

Once the gloves are cleaned, thoroughly rinse them under lukewarm running water. Guarantee the complete removal of any soap residue to prevent potential skin irritation during future rounds of golf.

Bid Farewell to Excess Moisture:

Gently press out the excess water from the gloves without resorting to wringing or twisting. Employ a clean, dry towel to blot the gloves and absorb any additional moisture, expediting the drying process.

Let Nature Take Its Course:

Facilitate the drying process by allowing the gloves to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or utilizing heat sources like hairdryers, as excessive heat can compromise the integrity of the glove material.

Pro Tips for Storing Your Pristine Golf Gloves:

Now that your golf gloves are impeccably clean, the next crucial step is proper storage. Here are pro tips to ensure your pristine golf gloves stay in prime condition:

Ensure Thorough Drying:

Before storing, confirm that your golf gloves are entirely dry. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew development, impacting both appearance and functionality.

Shield from Sun's Gaze:

Store your golf gloves away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material deterioration over time.

Embrace the Glove Shaper Magic:

Invest in glove shapers or inserts, especially for leather gloves. These aids help maintain the glove's shape, preventing misshaping or wrinkling.

Cool, Dry Havens for Gloves:

Choose a cool, dry storage spot for your golf gloves. Excessive heat or humidity can jeopardize material integrity, resulting in premature wear.

Eschew the Compression Conundrum:

Avoid stacking or compressing your golf gloves during storage. Keeping them in their natural shape preserves flexibility and fit.

Rotation for Extended Harmony:

If you boast multiple pairs, rotate their usage. This practice allows each pair to rest between rounds, preventing undue wear and extending overall lifespan. Mastering the art of golf glove care involves not only cleaning your gloves effectively but also storing them properly to ensure they remain in top condition. By following the steps for cleaning golf gloves like a pro and implementing tips for proper storage, you'll enhance the longevity and performance of your golf gloves, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your game on the golf course.

4 Tips for Golfing in the Fall and Winter

Golfing in the wind is bad enough. Throw in rain, freezing temperatures, and clouds, and you’ve got yourself some classic winter golfing conditions. You’re not going to let some chilly weather keep you from the sport you love, though.

These tips will help you make the most out of your fall and winter rounds. While USGA handicap rules don’t allow posting scores during winter months, you can still make this season a fun and productive one. From layering high-quality golf apparel to protecting your clubs, here’s what you should know.

Layer Up

When it comes to fall and winter golf, what you wear matters even more than during the summer. Specifically, layers are the name of the game.

Start with a base layer polo that’s soft to the touch and features moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabric so you stay cool and dry underneath all your layers. Then, add on some outerwear. What you choose depends on the weather. A vest is a good choice when it isn’t too cold, while you’ll want a pullover or full-zip jacket for the really chilly days.

Just make sure your clothes move with you and don’t weigh you down. They should keep you warm without getting in the way of your swing.

Make Sure Your Clubs Are Up to the Task

If you’re dealing with mishits and short shots through the summer, winter can bring disastrous results for your scores. Before you head out for a full 18 in sketchy weather, consider upgrading your clubs to more forgiving and better-performing designs.

Find the best golf store Chicago or wherever you live has to offer and look for drivers with an aerodynamic head design and high-speed face that can help your ball cut through the wind. You should also consider players irons that cut down on shanks with a perfectly placed COG.

The right clubs can make all the difference when golfing in the winter. With next-level clubs, you can improve your accuracy so you don’t spend the whole round chasing down your ball.

Keep Yourself and Your Clubs Dry

Whether it’s raining or snowing, precipitation can not only drop your score but it can also damage your clubs. Make sure you always have the right gear to combat unexpectedly wet weather.

Make sure you have a hat, umbrella, players towel, headcovers, and rain hoods. These are all essentials to keep you and your gear dry. Even if the forecast calls for clear skies, you know how quickly that can change, so stay prepared for anything.

Warm Up Before Your Tee Time

Maybe you can hop out of the car five minutes before tee time and beat your handicap by two strokes in the summer. But in winter, you need to take time to warm up so you can perform at your best.

Before you even leave the house, go through a stretching routine that gets the blood flowing and helps you loosen up. Once you get to the course, go through a bucket of balls on the range. You’ll feel warm, play better, and reduce your chances of injury.

In June I started working overnights at a small, but beautiful resort.

It has 22 rooms and is outside the city surrounded by a vineyard owned by the same person who owns the resort.

On the outside looking in and even in pictures, it's absolutely beautiful. It's got a large man made lake, for the vineyard, it's got a decent sized yard with plenty of grass, a heated swimming pool, and a stunning view of the surroundings.

However, working here hasn't always been the most fun someone could have working for a hotel.

We are constantly short staffed, mostly due to our upper management letting go of the hotel manager and not making any active steps to hire a new one. And not really taking any steps to hire for understaffed positions, housekeeping and cooks.

At first the overnight position was amazing. It's super simple, easy to get the hang of. And with some of my free time at night I have expanded and taken on some tasks that weren't my responsibly.

However, now due to them being short staffed in housekeeping they are trying to shadily slowly but surely pass off a lot of their tasks to me.

Such as, taking out all trashes in the kitchen and bathrooms, keeping the bathrooms stocked with toilet paper/paper towels/hand soap, sweep the bathrooms, make sure the bar is clean, and to sometimes do dishes in the kitchen.

While I very much believe in being a team player, i.e. helping when other coworkers are sick, or seeing something I could easily do real quick to make one less task for the next shift, etc.

I am not about to take on a housekeeping roll without extra pay. The amount of tasks they are slowly piling on me will begin to eat away at all my time I have for my other tasks that I have to do at night in order to make sure the day shift runs smoothly.

Sure, I still have a few down time moments, but most my night is constant motion. I sit for maybe a combined hour at most.

If they don't want to pay me more, than they either need to move some of my tasks, like polishing the silverware and rolling them into napkins, setting up the coffee bar, putting ice in the bar, making the coffee/hot water, watering the flowers, folding the pool towels and putting them out, putting the dirty pool towels in the laundry room, etc, on to other shifts.

I'm not a one man show. Sure, I could cut out some of my time by not walking out to the bungalows and use the golf cart instead, but I enjoy the time walking in the night in the cool weather instead of being cooped up in the hot as hell buildings.

But, the fact remains. More work requires more pay. I'm happy to help out in as many ways as I can that don't take me over 15-20 minutes, but I'm not about to take on tasks that could add well over 2 hours of work a night and still be expected to make the same paycheck.

That being said, I have begun looking for a different overnight job in the event that my boss tries to fire me for not taking on these addition tasks due to his unwillingness to ensure that they have enough housekeeping to do them.

I absolutely hate job hunting, it's mentally exhausting. I've been here three months and really thought that this place was going to be a wonderful job that I could stay long term as they have really good health insurance as well.

But the whole place is slowly going downhill every day.

From serving hand made scones and muffins, which were amazing, to the premade just pop in the oven kind that taste like shit.

To dishwashers that can't even properly sort and get the silverware ready for me to polish at night so I have to waste a ton of time sorting them into their proper containers in order to even begin polishing and folding them.

To lazy coworkers that refuse to pick up after guests leaving me spending a good chunk of time collecting all the used plates and glasses and doing their dishes, when they had more than three hours to have done so.

To other coworkers complaining that my polishing job isn't good enough and I need to do better before folding them, even though I take my time and polish every single one sometimes taking over two hours to do.

And now them trying to pawn off housekeeping jobs onto the night shift.

I don't know where to go from here other than find another job.

I don't have time to sit down and speak with my boss when he is here about everything as he gets here long after I'm already home and in bed before going to my day job.

Now, to find the time for interviews. yay.
