Love, Rosie (114 page)

sively,
“Oh
don’t
mind
us,
we’re
just
liaising
.
.
.”

Apparently
I
have
a
flair
for
organizing
and
have
good
communication

skills.
Anyone
who
has
seen
me
rushing
to
get
all
my
Christmas
shopping

done
in
the
last
hour
on
Christmas
Eve
knows
that
I
ain’t
a
good
organizer.

And
I
hardly
count
loud
cursing,
swearing,
and
lots
of
physical
abuse
while

trying
to
grab
the
last
item
of
absolutely
everything
off
the
bare
shelves
of

stores
from
other
panicking
Christmas
Eve
shoppers,
good
communication.

Although,
we
all
have
our
different
ways
of
seeing
things.

Congratulations!!

I
am
so
proud
of
you!
If
I
was
there,
I
would
twirl
you
around
and
give

you
a
great
big
sloppy
kiss!
You
see
Rosie,
things
can
happen
for
you,
all

you
need
is
a
lot
more
faith
and
self-belief
and
to
stop
being
so
negative
all

the
time!

So
where
is
the
new
hotel?
Are
they
opening
a
second
Two
Lakes
Hotel

in
Dublin?
When
they
say
“resort,”
what
exactly
do
they
mean?

Tell
me
all.

Well
I’m
not
quite
sure
of
the
location
of
the
hotel
just
yet
but
I
have
a

sneaky
suspicion
it’s
along
the
coast.
Can
you
believe
that
I
will
finally
get
to

love,
rosie

175

work
in
a
hotel
by
the
sea?
It
will
take
longer
to
commute
to,
but
it’s
worth

it
to
be
able
to
leave
the
city
behind
for
a
few
hours
every
day.
I
should
be

out
there
within
the
next
few
months.
When
they
say
resort
they
are
refer-

ring
to
the
new
eighteen-hole
golf
course
they
are
building.
There
will
be
a

gym
and
pool
and
more
leisure
facilities,
unlike
here
which
is
in
the
heart
of

the
city
and
has
nothing
but
bedrooms,
a
tiny
gym,
and
restaurants.
I’m
a
bit

hazy
on
all
the
details
because
they
haven’t
fully
informed
me
of
everything

yet,
they
just
asked
me
if
I
was
interested
in
this
new
job
and
of
course
I

couldn’t
turn
it
down!

But
this
entire
experience
has
taught
me
something.
It’s
taught
me
that

I’m
ready
to
move
on
from
this
job.
I’m
ready
to
accept
a
new
challenge
and

without
having
any
sort
of
game
plan
at
all,
I
seem
to
be
moving
closer
and

closer
toward
my
dream.
Whoever
thought
those
childhood
dreams
of
run-

ning
a
hotel
weren’t
quite
beyond
my
grasp
after
all?
It’s
funny
because
