New Years

Wow New Years was fun.  My Mom and Dad drove up to Petoskey to spend it with my sis, brother-in-law and I.  I was supposed to work the morning shift and get out at 5pm in time for them to either not have arrived yet..or not been in town long.  Well that didn't work out so well.  On top of this week being "Hell Week" (more on that later) Monday my boss caught the night desk clerk red handed drinking at work.  Now we suspected it for months but could never prove it, and she was still mostly performing her job correctly.  And not only was she drinking at work...she had come to work trashed...and my boss saw that she had made a copy of the master key to his house and was drinking HIS alcohol!  MASSIVE no no.   So he fired her on the spot.  Made that week extra hectic. 

As his sons were in town he wanted to have dinner with them outside of the house.  He asked if I could work night shift...I being the extrememly nice person who usually bends over backwards to help people said yes.  Thankfully they knew I had plans and didn't stay out really late.  They got back at 10:30 and let me go.  I changed and made it to the casino club my family and friends had gathered at and stayed out partying till 4am.  I had to get gas on the way home...I was stunned to realize it was nearly 50 degrees outside.  I mean this is MICHIGAN...in JANUARY!!! 

I slept till early afternoon and then went to my sister's house where everyone had spent the night.  They were all up and drinking by then...my mom has a fantastic picture of them earlier in the morning of everyone passed out on the couch.  Litterally everyone....like 12 people I think.  It was an extremely amusing picture.  If I can get ahold of it I might post it~!
