Last night
at the desk was very simple and easy. We had more check-ins than the past few
days, but since a few were groups and we have five people at the desk, it was
still a really easy night. When I got off I came home to find Cristina, Jesse,
and Tanner getting ready to play a game of Munchkin, so I joined them. We hung
out in Jesse and Tanner’s room until pretty late at night playing, laughing,
and hanging out.
Today has been a really nice,
relaxing day off. This morning I got up early enough to go to breakfast with
Nate before he went into work at seven. After eating, I walked through the
lodge and up to the upper lobby to just admire the first rays of sun touch the
mountains and stretch across the willow flats. I sat up there and enjoyed it
for a while before returning to my dorm room.
I didn’t see much of Cristina, Tanner
or Jesse this morning. I know Jesse had to work for a few hours setting
something up, but Cristina and Tanner just decided to sleep in. I headed over
to the EDR for lunch at about 11:30 and ate with Melissa, who works in HR, and
Adam from the activities desk. We talked about crazy guests and the different
tour groups that regularly come to the lodge. Pretty much everyone that works
here knows that some of the groups that come in are really nice, while some
definitely are not (Backroads groups are awesome to have here, Tauck Tours are
awful).
Shortly after getting back to our
room after lunch, Cristina and Tanner came in and said that they were going to
the pool, so I said I’d join them. Jesse was off work by then, so we invited
him to come too. He said that he had a few things he needed to do around here,
though, and that he was planning on going into town later in the afternoon. I
knew that I had a couple of medicines and other stuff I needed to pick up in
town, so I said that I’d go with him. I then went and spent about an hour in
and around the pool with Cristina and Tanner. The cool water felt amazing on
this warm, sunny day.
I left the pool area before Cristina
and Tanner did to get ready to go to Jackson. After changing and hanging out in
my room for a while, Jesse knocked on the back door and said he was ready when
I was. A moment later we jumped in Tanner’s car and pulled away from the dorms.
We stopped by the pool before leaving to ask Cristina and Tanner if either of
them wanted us to pick up something for them in town, then we hit the road.
It’s about a 45 minute drive from the
lodge to Jackson, and with the windows rolled down, music playing, and the
beautiful scenery around us, it can be a really nice 45 minutes. We spent a
couple of hours driving and walking around town, picking up a few things for
our rooms. It was a really nice afternoon; it seemed like I hadn’t gotten to
spend as much time actually hanging out with Jesse lately, so going around town
with him was great.
After picking up everything we needed
we headed back, and returned to the lodge just in time for dinner. We went
straight up to the EDR, where we sat with Nate, who was already in there.
I go back into work at three
tomorrow. I didn’t really want to split my days off, but Rebecca seemed really
desperate to have Thursday off. Apparently there’s a concert in Salt Lake City
that day that she really wanted to go to, so I agreed to switch days off with
her. My next day off is Friday.
