Living & Working in Great Places

went to the Doctors

I went to the doctors and he said I have severe ear infections and my Bronchiols are closing up so he gave me ADVAIR and then wrote out two scripts but like I said I have to wait for pay day to get them.

The pharmacy down there know's how isolated we are so I am hoping she can get my scripts filled. My ma sent me ear acke meds so hopefully that helps to.; ▶ Reply to This

I think you try to give a true picture of working conditions and that's what we need to hear. I have only worked 1 seaon and that was 2 years ago. I am an older worker and it's hard for me to find a job in the real world. However, I have a full time job right now and I hate it, I hate the company, I don't have benefits, and the people are awful. I am depressed most of the time. I continually come to Coolworks and look for jobs then don't apply. I need a change from where I am. Anyway, are you just tired to moving around or are you having a hard time at the rim this year? Any help would be appreciated.; ▶ Reply to This

I just had my b-day yesterday and no I am not quite older and bolder per se but I think at this point I need to give it a rest for now. From all my years as a seasonal, like anywhere you have your good and your bad, some years are just better then others. Last year I liked it well enough, though I had my fair share of moments but this year its just not the same its just not cutting it for me. I will complete the season and then go on my merry little way.; ▶ Reply to This

I had seriously been looking at the job postings for quite a while now for the north & south rim, but so many people say so many bad things about Zanterra and the dorms and management, but I have never been to the grand canyon and would like to go. If there are things going on that you don't want to make a public post about, I understand. If there is anything you'd like to share about the people, management, working conditions, living conditions, whatever it is that is going on that is affecting you negatively, I would like to know, if you would like to share. I am not happy with my present job, but I would really hate to quit it and take a seasonal job only to be more miserable. I know we can always say, well it's only for 5 months or whatever, but sometimes those 5 months can be an eternity. If you would like to share anything, please email me at jlongamerica1@aol.com. Would appreciate hearing from you. Do you think another location would be better for you, at a place maybe where you haven't worked yet?; ▶ Reply to This

Forever LLC, has properties all over the world including Africa. It's not so much the company. There is nothing personal, I am just at a point I am tired and need a break. This company is ok. There not like the same as last year up here but there no where close to Xanterra. One thing about the company though is, and I am talking Forever Resorts, that at least up here there not so big that they are to busy for the employee's. There not as personal like they were last year and that part is not making it to appealing to me this year. Forever Resorts runs houseboats and resorts.; ▶ Reply to This
