Thoughts on management training

Have we been taught too many clichés this week?!

Olympics Uniform

Went to London to collect my Olympics uniform ready for the summer. Was very exciting, all these people volunteering their time to help out at the Games.  First I had to queue for my accreditation which I will have to wear to get in. And then we had to queue for a piece of paper to say which items we need. Then we queued to go through to the trying on bit. Then I tried on the trainers to decide my size. Then we waited to go in the changing room and decide which size t-shirts and trousers we wanted. Then we queued to collect it all in the warehouse. Then we queued to have it all scanned out. And then I collected my volunteer Oyster card. Phewww. Actually took two hours.

This is what I will look like:

Well cool. Along with my London 2012 trainers, socks, trousers, cap, brolly, watch, water bottle and bag. Ha!

Chicken Rugby

Meet our chickens; Margery, Henita and Betty who we got a few weeks ago. 

After leaving them in their run for a week, we now let them out to be free range hens. Henita is still the only one laying an egg. Sometimes they look bored so we created some games.

Check out 'Chicken Rugby' - throwing a cherry tomato at them.

And 'Chicken Seesaw' - making them walk the raaaamp!

The end of the season..

The survivors:

..and our last week with lots to do.

Task one:  Clean whole chalet with a toothbrush. And that does include steam cleaning the floor, cleaning under the benches in the sauna and cleaning the groove in the lift to get Christmas tree pine needles out.

Task two: Drink the bar created from left over guest alcohol. Oh yeh, and clean our room...

 Task three: Visit the Hospiz Alm restaurant to slide down to the toilet. Weeeeeeeee

Task four: Make three matching skirts from ugly duvet cover so no one has to see it ever again. And wear them to staff party.

Task five: Hoard enough food to survive bad staff meals and lack of breakfasts. And to make a enough sandwiches for the journey home. One loaf of bread. 1kg of tuna. 1,5kg mayonäse. Lecker.

And off we went home to try and cope with not cleaning, not making a cake everyday, not having an organised fridge, not having a bio bin and not getting up at 7am everyday.

My first ski season finished - and it was amazing !!!!

Another week!

The sun has come out! This is the end of day off..sitting outside Krazy Kangaruh. Love how colourful everyone dresses for skiing. 

Found my guests inside dancing on the tables.  Tried to go over to see if they'd buy us some jägerbombs but didnt work :(

 A beautiful sunset :)

Love day off!

Sunbathing

Was soooo hot today we boarded half way down red 21 where the boys had built a big hole with seats right in the sun and sunbathed in our bikinis all afternoon. Still couldn't believe it was hot enough, especially when my toe touched the freezing cold snow and reminded me where I actually was!! Loving the mountains now it's sunny most days..although sad the snow is melting.

More Northerners!

Was soo nice to have guests that said please and thank you again! Normal people who wanted to chat.

Had a big family of Northerners this week who hadnt skied much before.  Finally convinced them to go to Mooserwirt for some Aprés. I know they'd been when no one was there when I went in to make dinner. Then I heard the door go, and the two ladies creep in and go 'ALICE...WE'RE DRUNK' haaaa. You can always tell when they've been to Aprés when they try to creep in.  I then got told the gossip about 'them upstairs' and that they love me and I had to tell them how much a good tip was. Kerching..!

Took the 'children' of the family on a night out..was fun! We tried to be nice and buy a round of drinks coz they bought us drinks and we actually liked them and they weren't rich snobs. We just scraped together €30 for 6 jägerbombs between the three of us ha!
