Yes, I have a new job

Which is the main reason I haven't posted in a while, though I have had chances on occasion and have just been lazy. I am now the Accounting and Human Resources Manager, which, in a nutshell, means I am responsible for all expenditures from the resort, and ensuring we receive all payments. I answer directly to the GM, am his equal in all financial matters, and in some convoluted way still am in charge of the front desk. Sort of. The position I used to be in, which is directly in charge of the FD, answers to me.

I'm loving it, so far. Although, on my two recent days off, I had math nightmares. Weird. I spend all day in my office, balancing checkbooks, managing spreadsheets, signing paperwork, going through stacks of receipts... I deal with guests much less often, which interestingly has lowered my stress levels considerably. As, I think, seeing my wife more often. I actually see her EVERY DAY!

Well, those days when I don't have to work 2 shifts; the person who is taking my place can't, well, take my place, until we have someone who can take HER place. Which should be happening at the beginning of this coming week. Then I just need to train the new manager, and we'll be set. I'll be working days only. WOO!

In other news, I've recently discovered a band called Dragonforce. I'm not normally a metal fan, but it's pretty meoldic. And their songs have a very epic quality to them: Through the Fire and Flames

I first heard about this band, and dismissed them as metal, when someone figured out how to hack Guitar Hero to accept custom songs, and someone made Through the Fire and Flames as a playable song.

Now it's a bonus song on Guitar Hero 3. Woot for community efforts.

In other hilarity: Jack Black performing Kissed by a Rose.
