Well, Memorial weekend is over and the start of summer vacations has begun. I have worked a lot of summers and see some travelers forget things that they really need or seen some misinformation that really scare travelers.
So, today I decided that I am posting hotel tips, or facts. I'll try and do this daily. Having experience in the hotel industry, I see a lot of things, and misinformation has become an increasing problem.
Right now I cannot afford to stay at hotels, but I wanted to use my knowledge and share it with people. Hopefully I can make your vacation a little bit better. You'll be able to catch those tips on my twitter page: https://twitter.com/#!/Shay2010 and you can follow me @Shay2010
So here it goes:
Hotel Security Suggestion #1:
Add names to the other people staying in the room.Your friend wants to go the room, and forgets their key OR you have different friends coming to the hotel at different times. The front desk needs to identify who is allowed in your room.
Just a little blog to share my musings, interests, advice, other people's advise, and just living in Southern California while being a woman in her (almost late) 20's.

Trying to find the bright side
As you may have noticed, I haven't posted in a while. I feel like I'm going through a rough patch with myself. I don't like posting things on the Internet that are negative.
Almost 2 months ago I was let go of my job as a Sales Admin Assistant. I was on a probation, but I know that I worked really hard at the job, helped out the team as best as I could and followed the rules. I wasn't doing anything against policy procedure. I tried to stay positive and kept on thinking that everything is going to work out. However, the job was stressful and I wasn't completely happy there.
Finally, the day came, and I was told that I needed to go. Yes, I was sad and scared. This was a job I wanted for a long time. I wasn't going to earn a wage anymore especially since I planned on moving out of my parents. The place I worked at was well known and people would get excited when I told them where I worked.
But I felt a sense of relief. I was taking a break from all the stress I endured in the past 10 months. My anxiety level came down a lot and I had more free time to figure out what I really wanted to do in life. Plus, I am using less gas and I get to sleep in.
Although not needing to go into work has it's upsides, I will feel down at times that I don't have a job. I am a college graduate, living with my parents and jobless. I see my friends having jobs, they travel the world, and I get jealous. Dealing with the unemployment insurance isn't as easy as I thought and sometimes the topic of conversation in small talk turns into me looking for a job.
But I do have to remember that I do have a roof over my head, food to eat, a great boyfriend, great family, and wonderful friends. I know my life can be worse. And I live in a great place right now. When I am down, I have a great support system.
So, I'm trying to stay positive and know that things will work out. God has a plan for me.
