Testing 1 2 3. Fuck I know it’s been a long time. A quick update is in order I suppose.
On January 18th of this year I was fired for the third time (which you may have guessed from the banners up top) from the hotel business. The reason was a flimsy bit of bullshit about me breaking hotel policy when I posted Work Bitch Post #2. Below is the unedited papers I was given on my exit:
Basically I was let go because I was full-time employee. On the 21st of January the hotel fired my boss. Almost all of the people who had been employed by the Holiday Inn Express of Janesville were either let go or had their hours cut. I was sad to see these american owners acting just like the douche bag foreigners who ruined the old worst hotel ever.
But in a lot of way I got to thank those cheap assholes (owners/managers) at the Holiday Inn Express of Janesville for showing me the hatch. The unemployment I had to fight for has been a nice extended paid vacation. It’s also made me realize my couple decades of working in this business have been a complete waste of time.
I’m currently a month behind on paying (I will catch up this month) my stellar web host and so I decided (with some help from a fellow blogger) to at least start using my site again. I’ll try to update more than once every sixth months.
Fuck me silly. I missed the two year anniversary of the second time I got fired from the worst hotel ever. So pretend it’s the 17th of September and celebrate with me on two whole years since I got let go over the phone by listening to that phone call:

The 27th of this month will be two whole years I’ve worked at the good hotel. Time flies when your having fun.Which really is thanks to the douche bag and the sheriff for firing me. A week later or before and I wouldn’t have had the job. It really was perfect timing.
You see the guy who was working first shift at the good hotel wanted to get out of the hotel business. The lady that was doing the third shift wanted to move to the first shift. I just fell into place. Honestly I couldn’t have planned it better. Big thanks again to the the douche bag (ex gm) and the sheriff (my old boss who still is a pussy I’m sure).
So it’s been exactly one year ago that I would have been fired for the second time from the worst hotel ever. I say this only because I ruined the sheriff’s chance to personally fire me by checking the schedule the day before and then calling him to ask what was going on. To celebrate the day I submit for everyone’s listening approval the unedited version of that call:

In ten days I will also be celebrating my one year anniversary at the new hotel. Which is a nice place to work. With any luck in another year the worst hotel ever will finally be dead. What a happy day that will be.
Fired again. It’s official. Damn near word for word transcription of the recorded phone conversation.
Sheriff: Good afternoon this is the Sheriff.
Turk: Hi Sheriff this is Turk.
Sheriff: Hey yeah.
Turk: Hey I checked the schedule last night. I’m not on the… I don’t have time on the schedule.
Sheriff: Oh yeah, I guess I… I guess I forgot to put you on the schedule.
Turk: So I’d.. Just you know… Am I working or not?
Sheriff: Umm… No actually, no your not working.
Turk: Yeah er. Could you care to explain?
Sheriff: Yeah I will explain. Actually I was going to be in here tonight anyways. But uh, the powers to be have decided to let you go.
Turk: So I’ve been fired?
Sheriff: Um. Yeah. I… I’d… If you want to put it in that sense. Yes. It wasn’t my decision. But they’ve let you go.
Turk: What was the reasoning for my being let go?
Sheriff: Well like I say. The powers that be let you go.
Turk: Was there a reason or did just decided just to just let me go?
Turk: Theres got to be a reason.
Sheriff: I think part of it was just to let you go. I think they they deemed that the morale of the team would be better without you.
Turk: (laughing to myself) Ok.
Turk: Alright I guess that works.
Sheriff: Yeah. But um. But no I didn’t want to see you go. But of course my vote was out voted by everybody else.
Turk: No of course. Of course. Thank you Sheriff.
Sheriff: But no. Because I think. I think your one hell of an auditor and I can work with you. I don’t care what your attitude is or anything like that. I just said your a hell of an auditor and I can work around all… all your attitudes and stuff like that.
Turk: (laughing again) Well I think my attitudes justified.
Sheriff: Yeah. And I agree also.
Turk: Ok well thanks Sheriff you have a good day.
Sheriff: You do the same Turk
Turk: Yeah I’ll try.
Sheriff: Ok.
The Sheriff ladies and gentlemen. Give him a round of applause for that performance. Bravo!

Fuck him. I think the sheriff has to be heard. Just so one can understand the magnitude of his pussy factor.
Turk sent me a copy of his termination papers and I thought it was so funny I had to share it with the group. First just so we are clear here is the Webster’s Dictionary’s definition of Unhappy:
Source: Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]
unhappy \Un*hap”py\, a.
1. Not happy or fortunate; unfortunate; unlucky; as, affairs
have taken an unhappy turn.
2. In a degree miserable or wretched; not happy; sad;
sorrowful; as, children render their parents unhappy by
misconduct.
3. Marked by infelicity; evil; calamitous; as, an unhappy
day. “The unhappy morn.” –Milton.
Ok here is the hotels definition of unhappy:
1. Turk had put passwords from encore on his webpage. Several people from the property had seen them.
2. Turk also was leaving the Frontdesk at 7:00am when he should have stayed until 8:00am. He was going back to the kitchen and eating breakfast.
3. Turk also had a difficult time dealing with being supervised. He felt he could do as he pleased whenever he wanted and did not have to abide by any rules.
This beautifully written poetry was authored by Turk’s ex-boss Larry. So what Larry is trying to say here is:1. a person can’t have a personal life. I know for a fact Turk put up old password’s of this dipshit’s. The fuck was changing his password every day or two. 2. The employee can not spend time for a break to eat breakfast. Shame. Shame on Turk for doing that. And 3. well I can’t argue with his third reason.
I should point out that in Larry’s written statement he spells felt as feet so the line reads as: He feet he could do as he pleased whenever he wanted. You explain that to me. Those of you who like to see this document in the flesh click here.
Well the event I have personally been waiting for has happened. As of 10:00pm I was let go from the hotel by Shawn Kennedy. His reason for letting me see the hatch was that I was not happy at the hotel. So what happens now?
First I plan on getting ass drunk. Then on Monday I plan on calling my friends at the ACLU. Then I plan on contacting the media. They might like the corporate bastards against the poor little webmaster angle. So any way. Troy’s here, we have to go.
I would like to thank in no particular order: Shawn Kennedy. Larry W. John W. Paula M. And anyone else that deserves my thanks. You all have been to kind.
