Beginning to Birthday Week!

Thanks mom for sending my tons of birthday party supplies. I'm only a teenager for two more days then 20! This week has been fun thus far. Tuesday it was the Monterey County Hospitality Associations Employee Appreciation Day. It is for all the local hotels around the peninsula to battle in competitions and a bbq after. The culture here for employees is awesome, especially the Hyatts. They do so much for their employees and the appreciation is a great standpoint from my side seeing how they give back to their hard working crew. There was a bed making contest, bartending contest, food & beverage contest, chili cook off, soccer tournament...and..dun..dun...dun..the bellman competition that i was in. Have mercy on my soul.. We did practice but we did not know what to expect. I was about to wet myself when they announced the starting of the relay. The obstacle was to load a bell cart from a trunk race through cones unload it in a specific way, bring the bell cart back to your partner the partner races up loads the luggage, swerves through the cones and loads the car back up in a specific way. Me & the real bellman Ryan (Justin & Ryan), were up second and did pretty well until we found out we didn't place. They take points off for so many things and I don't think it helped that when I brought back the bell cart I smashed it into the famous Laguna Seca Raceway's Lexus SUV, whatever put it on Hyatt's tab. It was a fun day and the sun was shining so I finally got a little burnt. Food was good and it was great to interact with the managers and staff outside of the hotel. Then yesterday I went Whale Watching. it was free to go because it was apart of the whole MCHA Appreciation week. The water was calm and lots of seals lounging on the rocks as we headed out to sea. We only saw one whale and didn't even get close..and also a few dolphins that swam underneath us. But if I was one of the Europeans that was on the boat (we were basically the only Americans), I would have wanted my money back because it wasn't the best. I'm kinda over this blog thing cause now I am not constantly bored and have things to do so I'll try to give updates. Its funny though because now I am in Guest Services doing bellman, the regency club, door attendant, concierge, Camp Hyatt, valet --yeah o god, and reservations. So the mix from front desk and services is seeing all the complaints. This one guy said he asked for a quiet room and was upset because his mini fridge compressor was turning on and off all night?!?! well turn the fridge off asshole..we gave you a quiet room but you still complain about something. I am learning alot and I don't think I want to come back. My birthday is on Saturday and I think were doing a bonfire on the beach. Then also on Saturday and Sunday there is a Charity Golf Tournament and a bunch of celebrities are staying at the hotel.. The only ones I knew were Jerry Rice, Ken Griffey Sr., & the lady judge from dancing with the stars..Their gonna be right next to my room in the Presidents house having parties so I'm gonna snoop and be paparazzi on the down low. Every one keeps asking and here it is: My address is



Justin Wusinich Room 1738
Hyatt Regency Monterey
1 Old Golf Course Road
Monterey, CA 93940

Peace Out.
