			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is the bachelor party for my brother. He is getting married on October 4th. Now the inevitable drinking and strippers will of course happen. But to my shock we are going fucking fishing. Fishing. I don&#8217;t fish. But it&#8217;s a group activity that the majority of guys will enjoy. Me I will be twitching without my net access. My brother has forbid me bringing my laptop. But I do have my Ipod Touch, so I will be getting some net here and there when we hit wireless hotspots. I also will be bringing my digital camera to document the fishing, boozing, and of course strippers.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong><br />
Checked into the hotel. Next stop the boat for fishing. I can&#8217;t wait.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong><br />
Here are some pictures.</p>
<blockquote class="cent"><p><a href="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/misc/bachelor-party/013.JPG/"><img title="My Brother walking to the boat" src="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/d/27011-2/013.JPG" alt="My Brother walking to the boat" /></a> <a href="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/misc/bachelor-party/037.JPG/"><img title="The Captain, my Brother, and the First Mate" src="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/d/27083-2/037.JPG" alt="The Captain, my Brother, and the First Mate" /></a> <a href="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/misc/bachelor-party/054.JPG/"><img title="My Brother drunk holding a fish" src="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/d/27134-2/054.JPG" alt="My Brother drunk holding a fish" /></a> <a href="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/misc/bachelor-party/059.JPG/"><img title="The Group Photo" src="http://www.hotelblues.com/gallery2/d/27149-2/059.JPG" alt="The Group Photo" /></a></p></blockquote>
<p>I have to say it was a very stomach turning experience. This goes on my list of shit that is not fun in any way at all. For the first three hours I felt like I was fighting to not puke up whatever I had ate. The last hour I had got used to it and it was ok. Also the actual reeling in of the fish was some hard work. Another factor of it being in the not fun list. Worst of all is by the time we got back to the dock it was damn near 9 at night. Everyone was tired and we went to the hotel room and showered. We then ended up driving back home. No strippers. All in all it was a terrible waste of time, if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact I was spending quality time bonding with my brother and his friends.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re from Las Vegas and you went to High School with me, this is for you. Everyone else ignore.</p>
<p>See I know you&#8217;re looking around here. I can see where people are from. You&#8217;re the only person in or around the Vegas area that I know who would do searches for the stuff you searched for. I can&#8217;t imagine what you think of me now you been inside my head. I didn&#8217;t mean to blow you off. Honestly. It wasn&#8217;t you. It was when we talked on the phone when I was at work. We talked about class reunions and how it would be fun to see how people we went to school with didn&#8217;t do as good as us. Something like that. I got to thinking, jesus I&#8217;m probably the least successful person in our class. That idea just freaked me out. It&#8217;s dumb really. I just didn&#8217;t know what to say if I came over. I&#8217;m the same. I&#8217;ve never changed. Probably never will change.</p>
<p>I like to think that shit doesn&#8217;t bother me. But it does. Anyway. I&#8217;ve got your number still. I just was too chicken to call. Sounds like I&#8217;m in high school still. So drop me a line if you&#8217;re not super pissed off at me. You can use the <a href="http://www.hotelblues.com/contact/" target="_blank">Contact Turk</a> page to email me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took down my resume page. I did this because I think someone was able to figure out where I work (not hard as I list the hotel by name on the resume) and call for me there. The second shift guy told me they asked to talk to Turk of Hotelblues.com. Not the kind of thing I want to hear in the real world. I&#8217;ve talked about this before <a href="/2006/03/07/dont-call-me-turk/" target="_blank">here</a>. The last time it happened it was an old friend. this time it was a complete stranger. For whatever fucked up reason I consider that crossing some boundary.</p>
<p>Some chick working at a hotel in ohio found me via this google search &#8221;<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=GF+Management" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.google.com');">gf management</a>&#8221; and found my search page for <a href="/search/gf management" target="_blank">those words</a>. Now on the search results page it grabs the text around the search terms and highlights the terms. To help one find what they maybe looking for. Now on the search page for the terms &#8221;gf management&#8221; it has two results. First one makes no sense it is a post on Firefox plugins. No words highlighted on that one. The second result is a <a href="/2004/08/31/this-and-that-24/" target="_blank">post</a> from 2004 about the management company that managed the hotel that I never ever saw. So I referred to them as something like the make believe beasts like Bigfoot of the Lock Ness Monster.</p>
<p>So prior to this post the only place one finds &#8221;gf management&#8221; was that post. The gf was in the word bigfoot.  Management shows up all over the place. But only in that one post with the term gf. The search page pretty much spells this out for you. But apparently that blurb of the search results and the highlighted words were to much for this person to comprehend. And in general I don&#8217;t want to associate with people with poor reading comprehension.</p>
<p>What irritates me more is that this person tried to tell me what is on my website. She was pretty sure she had read the terms gf management in a post of mine and wanted to get the dirt on them. Now call me silly, but I do happen to know what is on my site. In fact I&#8217;ve noticed that I get quite a few hits from google for the terms gf management. Let me say right now I have no clue what <a href="http://www.gfhotels.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.gfhotels.com');">GF Management</a> is like. I have no clue if they are good or bad. And I don&#8217;t care. Look around on the net. Do not call me at work. Email me or get ahold of me on aim. From here on in I&#8217;m not answering to the name Turk in the real world. Unless your really cute and want to do horribly nasty sexual things to me. And I would want picture for proof. Now you people looking for dirt on this <a href="http://www.gfhotels.com/" target="_blank" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview ('/outbound/www.gfhotels.com');">GF Management</a> can fuck off and leave me alone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well about one year and one month after my <a href="/2007/06/02/the-ugly-revisited/" target="_blank">first raise</a> with this new hotel I get this in my email from my boss:</p>
<blockquote><p>To: Turk<br />
Date: Jul 2, 2008 3:15 PM<br />
Subject: FYI:</p>
<p>A late welcome back from your week away.  I wanted to let you know, there is a change in your pay rate, your new rate of pay increase is $0.35.</p>
<p>This will show on your check that will be here on Thursday.</p>
<p>Talk to you soon.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the first time for two things. First he welcomed me back from vacation. Next I got another raise. At the <a href="http://www.ramadasouthbeloit.com/" class="ubernym uttJustLink" onmouseover="domTT_activate(this, event, 'content', 'Ramada Inn South Beloit is the worst hotel ever. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ramadasouthbeloit.com/&quot;target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;link&lt;/a&gt;)','caption', 'The Worst Hotel Ever' );" target="_blank">worst hotel ever</a> things were so different. The <a href="/2001/01/18/raise-me-up/" target="_blank">post</a> marks the last time I got a raise at the shithole. And the way I was greeted from the end of vacation was getting <a href="/2006/09/17/fired-again/" target="_blank">fired</a>.</p>
<p>I did not even ask for a raise. I did not hint about the idea of getting a raise even. The place continues to surprise me in a good way.</p>
