An illustration of a girl working in a hotel

Tha mi air leth toilichte - tha obair ùr agam! Tha mi ag obair pàirt-ùine ann an Taigh-òsta na Pàirce ann am meadhan bhaile Mhalaig. 'S e neach–frithealaidh a th' annam. Bidh mi ag obair gach Dimàirt agus Diciadain. Bidh mi a' tòiseachadh aig cairteal an dèidh còig feasgar agus bidh mi deiseil aig aon uair deug. Tha an taigh-bìdh uabhasach trang, gu h-àraidh aig an deireadh sheachdain. Nuair a bhios mi deiseil sa cholaiste, chòrdadh e rium a bhith nam chòcaire ann an taigh-bìdh spaideil mar seo.
