What do I do to get these weird chats with people? The last time this happened it was some young asl chick. This time it was some wannabe webhost, who you got to give props to for either being that much of a newb or a guy who has very big balls:

Session Start (Turk:Wannabe Webhost): Tue Feb 24 03:36:33 2004
[03:36] Wannabe Webhost: Hello Are you there?
[03:36] Turk: yeah
[03:36] Wannabe Webhost: do you have a server
[03:37] Turk: web server?
[03:37] Wannabe Webhost: yes
[03:37] Turk: yeah
[03:37] Wannabe Webhost: and can you host people
[03:37] Turk: yeah if I want to
[03:37] Wannabe Webhost: so do you want to host people now
[03:38] Turk: no, not really
[03:38] Wannabe Webhost: why
[03:38] Turk: I’m not in the hosting business
[03:38] Wannabe Webhost: ok. but can you host me. I’m <name removed>
[03:38] Turk: I host a few sites for friends and that’s about it
[03:38] Turk: <name removed>?
[03:39] Wannabe Webhost: yeah. from phpbb.com/phpBB
[03:39] Turk: I’m sorry I don’t know you
[03:40] Wannabe Webhost: ok. but can you host me. I run a hosting company which is closed because I closed it
[03:40] Turk: sorry to hear that
[03:40] Wannabe Webhost: ok. and I need a very good host to host my company. would you do it
[03:41] Turk: nope but these people will be more than happy to help you http://www.pascomwebhosting.com/
[03:41] Wannabe Webhost: nope. I need free good hosting
[03:41] Turk: can’t help you I’m afraid
[03:42] Wannabe Webhost: why. please can you host me… if you host other sites you can host me
[03:43] Turk: One, as I said the sites I host are friends. Two, I’m running out of webspace
[03:43] Turk: so you will have to look elsewhere. I’m sorry
[03:44] Wannabe Webhost: and how much webspace do you have
[03:44] Turk: 750 megs total and I’m down to less than 50 megs now
[03:44] Wannabe Webhost: oh.
[03:45] Wannabe Webhost: and can you install cpanel
[03:45] Turk: no
[03:45] Wannabe Webhost: why
[03:45] Turk: that’s something my host does
[03:46] Turk: I run a website not a hosting company
[03:46] Turk: what kind of site will you have?
[03:47] Wannabe Webhost: hosting company
[03:47] Turk: you said a company, what you selling?
[03:47] Wannabe Webhost: hosting
[03:47] Turk: you want me to host your webhosting company?
[03:47] Wannabe Webhost: yes. i will be very grateful
[03:48] Turk: and am I supposed to host all of the people that sign up for your web hosting?
[03:48] Wannabe Webhost: yes. or maybe no
[03:48] Turk: yeah, you new to this kind of thing?
[03:48] Wannabe Webhost: yes.
[03:49] Turk: so will you be selling this space from your hosting company?
[03:49] Wannabe Webhost: what space
[03:49] Turk: your going to be a webhost, are you charging for the webspace you host?
[03:50] Wannabe Webhost: maybe. maybe not.. I’m thinking of having paid and free hosting
[03:51] Turk: Again I say no to you then. My webhost is a nice guy and he wouldn’t like it very much if I gave out space to someone who in turn will sell it out for his own profit
[03:51] Turk: it was nice talking to you though, good luck on your company

Do I have a sign name that says easy mark or something? Does the name Turk scream out to you all as the name of a guy who is stupid and easily duped into things? This is why I’m always tempted to only allow people on my buddy list access to talking to me. Not that I’m a super popular guy or anything.

I did pimp my webhost. Pas-Com Web-Hosting has to be the single best webhost on the internet. I don’t just say that because I’m late paying for the month. They really are awesome and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a cheap (yet very good) webhost.

After iming me every day since the initial conversation the kid finally got on my nerves:

Session Start (Turk:Wannabe Webhost): Fri Feb 27 04:52:25 2004
[04:52] Wannabe Webhost: hi
[04:52] Turk: hi
[04:52] Wannabe Webhost: can you host my forum
[04:53] Turk: no
[04:53] Wannabe Webhost: why
[04:54] Turk: have you even been to my site/forum?
[04:54] Wannabe Webhost: can I see it and what is the link
[04:54] Turk: so you don’t even know my url?
[04:54] Wannabe Webhost: can I see it
[04:55] Turk: you just picked me off the phpBB forum list?
[04:55] Wannabe Webhost: nope.
[04:55] Turk: so how did you get my aim name?
[04:55] Wannabe Webhost: phpbb forums
[04:55] Turk: just at random?
[04:56] Turk: or have you bugged others as well?
[04:56] Wannabe Webhost: nope. I didn’t
[04:56] Turk: so I’m special then
[04:57] Wannabe Webhost: I will block you if you say something else bad
[04:57] Turk: I’m not trying to be mean
[04:57] Turk: you imed me
[04:57] Wannabe Webhost: ok. so tell me… can you host my forum
[04:57] Turk: no
[04:57] Wannabe Webhost: why????
[04:57] Turk: because I said no
[04:58] Turk: I think blocking is a good idea
[05:02] Wannabe Webhost: ok
[05:02] Turk: Hotelblues.com is my site, learn about someone before you try to con them
[05:04] Wannabe Webhost: you put a conversation of me in your update
[05:04] Turk: yeah
[05:04] Wannabe Webhost: why?
[05:05] Turk: do I have to explain everything to you?
[05:05] Turk: how old are you?
[05:05] Wannabe Webhost: 11. and you are an idiot
[05:05] Turk: yes that could be
[05:06] Wannabe Webhost: you are AN IDIOT
[05:06] Wannabe Webhost: IDIOT
[05:06] Turk: I agree

[05:06] Turk: I’m an idiot?
[05:06] Wannabe Webhost: and delete my conversation
[05:06] Turk: no
[05:07] Wannabe Webhost: ok. diiiif
[05:07] Turk: huh?
[05:08] Turk: remember I’m an idiot
[05:08] Wannabe Webhost: I’m blocking you **** idiot
[05:08] Turk: ok
[05:08] Turk: bye

All this is making think about toggling that setting in Trillian that only let’s people on my list im me. Oh and I’m an idiot. I shouldn’t let this get me mad, but it does. I’m getting to old to have to deal with a 11 year olds shit. He’s blocking me? Jeez that is ironic.

So it appears the hotel has plans to fire me again. I’m surprised and at the same time I have been waiting for this to happen. Here is the im log from my “source” that warns me of my impending firing:

[01:38] Ex Hotel Guy: wanna hear something fucked up?
[01:38] Turk: sure
[01:39] Ex Hotel Guy: i was told by <Name Removed> that they wanted to fire you
[01:39] Turk: I’m sure they do
[01:39] Ex Hotel Guy: they are going to
[01:40] Turk: let them
[01:40] Ex Hotel Guy: you haven’t written anything on your website lately
[01:40] Turk: nothing to say
[01:41] Turk: did my boss say why they want to fire me?
[01:42] Ex Hotel Guy: no, but she was really excited about it?
[01:42] Turk: was she?
[01:43] Ex Hotel Guy: yeah she said she can’t wait to fire you
[01:43] Turk: heh
[01:43] Turk: I’m sure she can’t
[01:45] Turk: personally I’ve been waiting for this
[01:45] Turk: and have prepared
[01:45] Ex Hotel Guy: did you hear why they fired me?
[01:46] Turk: no
[01:46] Turk: don’t care either
[01:46] Turk: got my own problems to worry about man
[01:46] Turk: plan of attack and all that
[01:46] Ex Hotel Guy: what problems do have
[01:46] Turk: getting fired?
[01:47] Turk: that’s a problem
[01:47] Turk: they better have a good reason
[01:47] Ex Hotel Guy: how are they going to fire you if there is nobody to replace you?
[01:47] Turk: little different this time
[01:47] Turk: well see that’s going to be <Name Removed>s problem
[01:47] Turk: here in a few weeks
[01:48] Ex Hotel Guy: why
[01:48] Turk: it’s a surprise
[01:48] Ex Hotel Guy: damn

It seems my appointment to see the lawyer in June has come at a good time. If this is true it’s good to know in advance. I can plan ahead. I can get ready to start emailing all the press type people that like to cover this kind of story. And there are lot’s of things I can say to the press that would be interesting reading to anyone who has stayed or thinks about staying at this hotel. Practices that most people have no idea go on. Things a lot of local business would love to hear because it would convince them to take their money elsewhere.

Of course this is all hearsay. My “source” and his motives for telling me this are suspect. It’s not like me and the guy are good buddies. In fact he has no reason to warn me of anything. I’m the reason his hours got cut after all that x-mas bullshit. Which of course could be the perfect motive to tell me bad news. It don’t matter why he told me. I’ll find out tomorrow night when I ask my boss if she plans on firing me.

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.

It has been foretold:

[13:42] Turk: www.mybossisapussy.com I think that is open hahahaha!!
[13:42] Gawain: oh jesus
[13:42] Turk: I’m going to make it my alt url
[13:42] Turk: heh
[13:43] Gawain: I dunno. what if your boss gets fired or quits? then you’re stuck with a site that doesn’t apply anymore. its too specific.
[13:43] Turk: a line of tshirts
[13:43] Turk: fame and fortune!
[13:43] Turk: theres are ip
[13:44] Turk: domain is open
[13:44] Turk: we sell shirt with whatsitcalled at first
[13:45] Turk: and if it hits we look into a cheaper means with more profit
[13:45] Turk: what guy/girl who works for some schmuck not want a shirt like that?
[13:45] Gawain: I think you lose your job if you do that.
[13:46] Turk: well
[13:46] Gawain: though I admire your ability to be an asshole. : )
[13:46] Turk: me?
[13:46] Turk: come on it’s a cash cow
[13:46] Gawain: I will design shirts if you get the domain.
[13:46] Turk: it gets picked up by a big site and the orders come in
[13:46] Turk: ok
[13:55] Turk: fuck it I’m doing it
[13:56] Gawain: lol
[13:56] Gawain: goddamn dude, you really hate that guy
[13:57] Turk: I hate all bosses
[13:57] Turk: yours, mine, everyone
[13:57] Turk: anyway
[13:57] Turk: I don’t hate him
[13:57] Turk: thats another shirt all together
[13:57] Turk: my boss is a pussy
[13:57] Turk: simple as that
[13:57] Turk: holy crap I’m insane
[13:58] Gawain: its true.

Insane? Yes I am. But I’m just following the gods wishes.

Was going to “blog” about this but decided it was another time to post a Gawain chat log:

[01:33] Gawain: what up?
[01:33] *** Auto-response sent to Gawain: Yeah I’m playing Dark Age of Camelot at work! You think those assholes pay me enough to do work?
[01:34] Turk: hey
[01:34] Turk: I had a drunk I called the cops on
[01:35] Turk: guy just looked fucking odd
[01:35] Turk: set off my spidey sense
[01:35] Gawain: lol
[01:35] Turk: turns out the guy was like drunk I’m going to die drunk
[01:35] Gawain: nightauditey sense?
[01:35] Turk: yeah
[01:35] Turk: so I may have saved the guys life
[01:35] Turk: plus the dumb fuck had a warrant
[01:36] Turk: so the moral of this story is don’t call the night auditor 5-10 times in a 2 minute time period

Honestly folks if you have a warrant out on yourself try not to annoy the disgruntled night audit guy. Because when you call down six times and the first time you worry about being a pain in the ass and the audit guy say no of course your not a pain in the ass. Well guess what? You are a pain in the ass.

Here is a one sided conversation with Gawain:

Session Start (Turk:Gawain): Tue Jul 04 23:23:39 2006
[23:23] Turk: Happy Independence Day!
[23:24] Turk: do you realize of the five people so far I’ve seen at the hotel, they have looked at me oddly when I said that. And responded isn’t it the 4th of july?
[23:25] Turk: which makes me feel to smart and sad that americans as a whole are fucking stupid
[23:25] Turk: one person answered my question of how old the country is by saying 235 years old
[23:26] Turk: so not only are they ignorant of their own history, they are also bad at subtraction.

Be proud America in your people.
