so i finally have time to post the craziness that has been the past week, when the vip dudes came we couldn't have our normal days off, and i also changed my day to be with melina so that equalled me working a hell of a long time straight. now, it is super hard to try to unwind because i have been in "pleasing mode" for 13 days straight. anyways, first off, henri, the pres, bought the bar team a bottle of champagne and toasted us being the best bar team he's seen in awhile. as well, the other vips were very pleased with how everything ran, and therefore antonio is happy. i actually have never seen him this happy. henri also finished his very upscale visit that began with redcarpet arrivals via boats and champagne to drinking merlot out of plastic cups at 4am in our g.o. room with the whole bar team (unfortunately the camera with the pictures was stolen two days after but luckily we had shown them to everyone including antonio who couldnt' stop laughing). so needless to say it was a memorable visit for all of us.
antonio also keeps calling melina and i his dream team so he's trying to keep us here by propositioning us to do our instructor class on the island and stay for the summer season (not going to happen but it's nice to have your ass kissed every once and awhile) so he's trying to make our lives super easy now, no set ups or arrivals for at least a week. plus all the diving he can provide for us by making our schedules the way we like them. it's nice to feel needed and appreciated, finally. i also have gained the nickname bossy kate because behind the bar i have been appointed the assistant when the managers are not there so i find myself delegating, which i actually have no problem with and luckily the other bargirls and guys find it funny rather than frustrating.
so anyways it is my day off today, melina and i went diving, vis was unreal and they were super chill dives, our friend geoff did his first ever dive which is always exciting to see, and i now have my 35th under my belt and going strong. c.lee (our rescue instructor) told us that those were our last two recreational dives and from here on out it is all about rescue and divemaster, which i am really excited about, and slightly anxious. tonight we don our new clothes we purchased and head out of the club for dins and then watch a movie and have a chill night. sweet sweet day off.
sorry for the length of time between posts hopefully this one fills you guys in a bit more. i miss you guys but cannot wait for march 3rd when my MOM is coming to visit!!!!! so excited.
love you.
