The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

As some of you know, I've had the opportunity to work for the same company as Nick works for for the past two weeks. The company is called Las Vegas Parking, and is a vale parking company. This company has employees at a number of restaurants, hotels, malls, and other places around Las Vegas. The World Market Center is one of those places. The world Market Center has two Furniture shows a year and the company hires an extra 150 people just to work these two weeks. I offered to help for these two weeks and it hasn't been the funnest job ever due to being a traffic director and an information booth girl. :) On top of that, I've been reminded that my back is not that strong from my fusion and standing for that time period has not been easy. Thinking it couldn't get any worse than that, Monday night proved me wrong. Monday Night was the busiest night because it was the first day of the show AND there was also a Rod Stewart concert as well. That day Nick worked at the Hilton from 8-4 and then came to the World Market Center to bring me diner. As soon as he got there, our boss asked him if he would be willing to work a few hours of overtime because they needed his help. Nick agreed and got right to work. He drove into the other parking lot to find a parking place so he could begin working. But before he could find a spot, ANOTHER vale worker BACKED into his car.

The UGLY...

It may not look that bad at all, and YES he was very lucky not get hurt or have his car damaged worse, but the door doesn't fully shut leaving the cargo light on as well as the beeping noise. Every time Nick gets out of his car he has to un-do the cable so that he car will start when he returns. We are lucky enough to work for such good people and they sent Nick down to the body shop to get his car looked at. The company is covering all the costs.

The GOOD...

Since Nick and I are both starting school in a couple of weeks, he as been trying to get both his school and work schedule figured out so that they work around each other. His current work schedule will not work around his classes, so he has been trying to figure something out. His boss has been fully aware of the situation and has also been thinking about what to do. Monday night they offered Nick to move from the Hilton to Mandalay Bay. This move will change a few things: first, he will be actually parking cars again; second, he won't be shift supervisor any longer; and third, he will receive an increase in pay.

The BAD...

That sounds like a pretty good deal huh? But he's going to be working the graveyard shift. I'm just praying that he will be able to handle full-time school, full-time work, and also being married. :) It sounds like a lot and we're BOTH realizing that no matter what shift he takes that once school starts and we both have such crazy schedules, that we won't be seeing that much of each other. :( That's life though right? I hope it all works out!
