Drama At Lodge

Our second day working at the front desk this season was with Donna, our favorite co-worker. She keeps us laughing and we always have a good time on the days we work with her. She also fills us in on all the gossip and happenings behind the scenes. There have been numerous changes in personnel over the winter, some of which are still occurring. Our poor manager, Judy, is faced with a scheduling nightmare now that one of the regular, long time employees quit over the weekend. Tasha is leaving over a dispute with the handling of her boyfriend's firing. It seems that loud, public arguments in the lodge saloon resulted in his firing, and the management insisted that he not show his face on the lodge grounds. Of course, Tasha cannot have a relationship where she can't have her (now) fiancé allowed to visit her at her home on the grounds. She occupies the fifth wheel in the employees area of the campground that is located next to our rig. Other changes in personnel have surprised us, but none of the others have the potential impact of Tasha's departure. We'll see how the changes affect us, if at all.

We spent most of the morning yesterday watching the Indy 500 race which was, for a change, a crash free race until there were only about 25 laps to go. It then turned into a race run under the yellow flag. At one point, the race was stopped while debris was cleared from the track. It still is always a fun race to watch.

Our day at the lodge today will be with one of the new front desk employees. She has already created discomfort with at least three of our coworkers. We will go into the day with an open mind, and will report our experience tomorrow. In the meantime, have a great Memorial Day everybody...
