Coolest Toilet

I saw this toilet in the Chicago airport, and couldn't resist taking a picture.

That little dark square on the back...it's a motion sensor. You wave your hand over it, and it changes the plastic on the toilet seat...instant clean toilet seat/bum protector.

How cool is that??

My travels...

So I officially started my AGM (assistant general manager) training on July 25th (though my salary stuff didn't start until August 1st). I trained for 2 weeks with a local GM who trains all the managers for my district. That went well...except the having to be at work at 7am! (Sidebar: whoever decided that the day should start that early should be drawn and quartered, shot in all the major joints, then killed. Yes. I hate mornings that much.)

After that I had a week of vacation, an interesting game for sure.

Then came actually working at MY property (in west Phoenix). I have now been at my property for 2 weeks. 1+ of which, my GM has been on vacation, so I have, in essence, been running the inn by myself. I managed not to burn the place down and hopefully didn't do any major damage (though we'll see when she gets back). It has been strangely enjoyable and I've become spoiled in not having to work the front desk (in other news: yet another of my siblings is now employed by Red Roof-it's become a family thing).


Tomorrow I leave for Columbus, OH. For training. For things I'm already doing. Should be interesting. Wish me luck!

Keys

These keys have become my life, because...

no keys=no getting into office
no getting into office=no work

no work=no money

no money=no food

no food=starvation

starvation=death

and death...well, death is just bad juju.

I REALLY can't lose these keys!

Shoes...

My shoes came in! Now that I'm an assistant manager I get to wear more fun and eclectic clothing with the only caveat being that my shoes must be closed toes. Since I don't have many closed toe shoes, I thought, "What better time to shop for shoes than now??"

So I did...and now they are here.

And I love them so much I feel obliged to share.

I got two pairs of this shoe...a dark grey and my absolute favorite: a delicious raspberry (I had to turn the flash on in order to demonstrate the color). Sorry for the poor pic quality. They are from my phone.

In this one I got three pairs: black (though it doesn't look super black in the pic), "drizzle" (a beautiful cloudy sky color), and teal. I have to admit to being a bit disappointed in the teal color, I was expecting it to be brighter. :( But still overall I am totally in love with the silk fabric and the texture of these shoes.

The final pair I got (sorry no pic) was super cute, but unfortunately didn't fit and tried to eat my toes and I had to send them back. Poor little shoes.
