    Eight Years Old 3:47 pm-

    My site is eight years old today. For the first time since eight years ago I am launching a new website. A sister site to this one in a sense. One that is a blatant attempt to cash in. Dreams of hearing the cha-ching of virtual cash registers. But more on that later. I often wonder what good having this site has done me. I often wonder why I continue to go on.

    The only answers I come up with is that this website (blog jesus I give up) is a direct result of my muse the hotel. No hotel, no website. And the hotel makes it so easy to do whatever it is I do here. I only wish that my tales of idiot’s and sheriff’s were made up. Unfortunately for the shithole it is all 100% truth. At least as I see it.

    As I have hinted at the last few posts I have started up a secondary website. The purpose of this site is the blatant goal of making money. MyBossIsAPussy.com should be live by the time you read this. It will the business front of this movement of mine to stick it to the bosses of just about any business that their lowly employees who happen to purchase a shirt or two. Very soon we hopefully will have some actual products for people to buy. So in the meantime it’s just another blog (god I hate that word) for people to visit. Stop by there and leave a comment about what you think of this crazy venture of mine.

    I’m hearing some things and I of course wanted to touch on them here. The idiot numero uno is still constantly late. Late as defined by me being not getting your lazy ass into work at the time scheduled. If it say 7 am well get your dumb ass in so that when you punch in it is on or before 7 am. I understand being late a few times. I’m late now and then. So I guess I’m idiot number 3? Well not just yet.

    Today the idiot displayed a behavior I’ve heard about before. At 3 the idiot expects to go home. Yeah that means you better not be late for the second shift. Because that there would be wrong. Today I hear that the idiot was not going to balance their shift. The simple process of a few key presses in the computer. How is it this continues? How is it this idiot can expect to leave work at the correct time? Yet it’s to much to ask to arrive at the correct time? Questions that needed to be answered by the sheriff.

    Not directly related to the sheriff you may notice the new poll over on the sidebar. It asks the simple question “Is Your Boss a Pussy?” It’s a yes or no choice.

    Is Your Boss a Pussy?

    It of course does relate to the coming of the website Mybossisapussy.com, which will be coming soon. We plan on offering a few fine products. Top being the My Boss Is A Pussy t-shirt. And maybe if the creative juices flow correctly we can have a I Work With Idiots t-shirt as well. Pricing will be fair. Transactions and shirts will be handled by the fine folks at CafePress.

    Idiot Tales 12:15 am-

    Yesterday morning was a little different. Same general structure of course. I want to leave on time and the idiot is of course late. The curve ball comes once the idiot gets to the hotel. I was baffled for a minute. Mind you that it’s at least 5 after 7 and I usually peel out of here once I see the idiot walk towards the front doors of the hotel.

    The odd thing that happened was that after the idiot punched in (I checked) they left the front desk area. I was of course very baffled. Even confused. There was a guest walking to the desk around the time this happened. Now I waited about 20 seconds before I punched out and left. As I walked outside to my car I was told hello by a guest I had checked in the night before. I watched as the poor bastard went in to the lobby and stood behind the guest already waiting.

    Now there are a fews things I could have done. As it is I got in my car and left. Last raise was how long ago? I don’t fucking care about the place once I’m off the clock. Shit I don’t give a fuck about the place when I’m on the clock for that matter. Give me a raise every year (I hear that happens at other local hotels) and I would wait for the idiot. I would help the guests. But as it stands everyone has to fend for themselves. Me, the idiot, and the guest. The guest really have it the worst. At least I’m payed to be at the hotel. I feel sorry for these poor bastards that have to pay the hotel to be there.

    So I recently discovered Firefly. Now I realize that it’s a case of too little too late. Firefly being the Josh “Buffy” Whedon sci-fi show that just melds the western genre so well into it’s science fiction setting. I only watched maybe one or two episodes when it was on tv. It’s one of those shows that just clicked for me. The movie was also very good. But the ending has left me feeling a little down as demonstrated by this chat with Gawain:

    [05:08] Turk: now that I got it on dvd
    [05:09] Turk: I’m going to end up writing a long ass post on how wrong it was to kill wash
    [05:09] Turk: so wrong
    [05:09] Turk: poor wash
    [05:10] Gawain: jesus why don’t you write some fanfic about him coming back to life in some kind of bizarre alternate reality. Or better yet, have picard bring him through some kind of rift in space to TNG.
    [05:10] Gawain: fanboy.
    [05:10] Turk: I just may
    [05:10] Gawain: lol

    I am of course talking about Hoban Washburne the pilot of the Serenity. One can only mourn him in their own way. A moment of silence please. I’m really bummed over it. A great character from a great show. I mourn the show even more. Add it to the list of sci-fi shows canceled before they should have been.

    It should be mentioned that I dug this show so much after watching it that I had to go out and buy the actual dvd’s of the tv show and movie. I felt that downloading this one from a torrent was sort of dirty. It really is worth the purchase if your a fan of science fiction. Now that moment of silence in honor of poor Wash.

    They Still Suck 12:42 am-

    So I was going to password protect the last entry. I did for about 2 hours. I took it down even for another few hours. And then I said fuck it. The damage has been done already. If they fire me I’m going to move in with Gawain and his awesome Wife (a Firefly fan!). See as it turns out the wireless internet is coming back. So that makes me a happy employee. I’m not so crazy about getting fired again. As long as I have a good isp to use I’m content.

    Although it should be mentioned they still suck. You know when you check into a hotel and the desk clerk swipes your credit card? We can do that. But there will be no authorization done. So in effect we have no idea if a credit card is good or not. We are flying blind. Can you guess why we don’t get authorizations? That’s right. No pay, no play. The credit card authorization company switched us off yesterday. How did I find out this? The fine young foolish lady who works at MSI told me so. Talk about a case of need to know information. Next time honey hold that shit for the fucking manager/sheriff/head of operations type guy ok?

    That also means I will be delaying the “My Boss Is A Pussy” t-shirt design. I had even come up with a nifty graphic and all that jazz. In the meantime feel free to buy my old boring t-shirt.

    The hotel sucks so bad. How bad? I’m glad you asked. Where to start?

    Paying bills. They don’t. Well they do only after they have put it off for as long as they possibly can. They dodge phone calls of people looking for money. They get faxes wanting bills payed. It goes so much farther than that unfortunately. When you check in your given a key. The key comes in this little red key holder. Inside this little guy they list 5 bullet points. The big one is:

    • High speed wireless internet

    This is one of those features every hotel really must have to please the business traveler guest. It took the shithole forever to get it. It lasted a month. The local cable company had to pull the plug because (can anyone guess?) the hotel didn’t pay the bill. Which on a related subject I’m glad that it wasn’t that they had caught on to me playing City of Villains at work.

    And I could go on and on about these fucking deadbeats that run/own this hotel. But I would rather talk about the amazing person I call the sheriff. The sheriff is now the head of operations of the shithole. This douche bag gets a promotion for not doing dick? Hurray for the sheriff! Honestly what in the name of whatever god you worship has this person done to deserve this promotion?

    I tell you what the sheriff hasn’t done. Well nothing. Besides being the biggest pussy to hold the job this person does none of the duties as I see they should. Yeah it’s all my opinion here people. But as I see it the issues with the idiot desk clerk one should have been handled a long time ago. Only at this hotel can you come into work everyday and not get in trouble. But it so much worse than that. The sheriff also likes to shirk their responsibilities to actually come into work. One of the good employees (one of two) had to work sixteen hours yesterday. Because of idiot two not coming in when it had been agreed that certain schedule changes would be made.

    The sheriff also didn’t come in on a day he was scheduled (yesterday) which would have helped the good employee if he had came in to work. Which it is a very amusing coincidence that the pool is closed over the weekend (broken pipe never going to be fixed) and no guest were told when they checked in over the weekend. Who did a lot of the checking in? The sheriff. So is it a big surprise when the sheriff doesn’t come in on sunday when all of these pissed off people checked out? I think not.

    And I’m afraid it’s much worse than that. The hotel is getting split up. So the rooms, restaurant, and banquet hall are going to be separate entities. Which to my mind is just nothing but bad. It means that the place can start to be sold off bit by bit. Rumors have it that this has already happened to the restaurant and banquet hall. How much longer before the hotel end of things is sold or closed even? I say the time is good to be getting. That everyone who has any sense should start looking elsewhere for a job. I know I am.
