So this guy signs my GuestBook bitching about a post that appeared over at Sherry’s site (which I host). I would think that the two sites are different enough in look and maybe even attitude that one wouldn’t mistake mine for hers. Of course maybe Sherry can take this as a compliment or even possibly as an insult.

I have deleted this pinheads post from the GuestBook. Sherry has a link clearly labeled guestbook. So go and sign her guestbook pinhead. Another thing it’s just a fucking pepsi can. Jesus I hate people like you. A pepsi can. Anyway if you want to see what the pinhead got all flustered about go look at Sherry site. Here is a link to an article the pinhead left.

This post is regarding the Breaking Policy post from last week. It’s kind of funny how rules are made to be broken. It shouldn’t be any surprise to anybody who knows me that I disregard rules. I’m a little disappointed in some of the managers though. The restaurant manager caught me smoking and it appears she hasn’t narked me out. I even told her that when she speaks of me, she speak well.

If I was a manager I would have narked. I mean that’s what managers are supposed to do. You have to maintain that pretense of some kind of command. I have no respect for someone who doesn’t have the balls to do this. Sure it’s cool she didn’t nark on me. And I’m not looking to get written up.

It would be different if me and this restaurant manager had some kind of buddy friendship going on. But I don’t really now this chick well enough to consider her a buddy. She sure as hell doesn’t know shit about me. Maybe next time she will nark on me. That is after they read this.

Here is a memo I have personally been expecting. I expected it because I’m paranoid. Because I can add one and two together and get three. Because I have recently trained two other people to do the Audit. Ladies and gentlemen the paper trail begins! I have taken the liberty of posting it right below in it’s all caps greatness:

FRONT DESK & AUDITORS

THERE WILL BE NO SMOKING BEHIND
THE FRONT DESK OR IN THE BACK
ROOM. THIS IS THE POLICY OF THIS
HOTEL AND EVERY EMPLOYEE NEEDS
TO ABIDE BY THIS POLICY. ANYONE
FOUND SMOKING BY ANY OF THE
MANAGER’S WILL BE WRITTEN UP!!

The only part missing is the THANK YOU and the managers name. I just love the all cap memos. These are the same people who do this shit in chat and e-mails. It’s annoying. Now I don’t want anyone to get the idea I’m making fun of the memo writer. I’m not. It’s just the subject of the memo I’m making fun of.

Everyone smokes back there. I’m the only one who gives the management the respect of doing it openly. Because I give them the benefit of the doubt. I assume they are intelligent people. I figure theses people are smart enough to know that I smoke. And that I don’t have to insult their intelligence by hiding the ashtray right before they come in for work.

So at least I don’t have to worry about insulting their collective intelligence anymore. Anyone who does this based on what a guest said and then they do not ask me about it has no intelligence. Of course the memo writer could say that they are just following orders. But then that excuse didn’t work for the Nazi’s and it doesn’t work here either.

President To Author: Your Book Is Unpatriotic is the kind of news story that makes me worry. The author of the book has a website. At this website there is a page that lets you send an e-mail to the President. I find this kind of thing very disturbing. The fact that Bush would send a letter to this guy telling him more or less that in the act of expressing his freedom of speech he is being unpatriotic kind goes against these supposed freedoms.

If you are interested in this kind of stuff there is a place called Freedom News that will be right up your alley. They cover this kind of stuff every day. They also have a newsletter you can sign up for.

Changes at Ramada continue is the name of a Beloit Daily News article. The news item tells about the changes going on at the hotel. It is also worth mentioning because it has a picture of the infamous “Temporary Gm” who created and then forgot the 3 R’s, 4 F’s. The picture below should have a caption saying “and it was this big” don’t you think?

The picture doesn’t do the guy justice. Or either I just never noticed what a huge Cro-magnum forehead this guy has. I mean that in the nicest way possible.

You know the funny thing about truth? It’s all a matter of your point of view. What I consider the truth is all a matter of my point of view. The same thing I think is the truth could be considered a lie coming from someone else’s point of view. The only reason I bring this up is because of some events going on at the hotel. I hear lots of things from lots of people. From my point of view none of what I hear is even close to the truth.

Mike the guy who has been doing the audit with me has quit. So the mad dash to find and train a new auditor has started. Now according to my truth I’m the only one left who can train someone to do the night audit. I have to say that I’m going to miss Mike. Mike was/is a good guy. He has gone on to sunny California to find some new truths.

So I’m given a new audit trainee. A very smart and I should say very artistic person. And the whole artistic thing is a good quality as far as I’m concerned. Just seeing some young people who are interested in art makes me want to get going again on the whole artistic front.

As the usual for this kind of post I have strayed from the point. The point being trust no one. I hate to invoke a X-Files mantra, but that’s the only way to explain the way this hotel works. Take no ones word for granted. Everyone has an agenda. Even me. I will lie and spin the truth willingly for my own purposes.

Which may make you wonder what my agenda is? And like a great Bond villian I will tell you. Everything I do is to further chaos at the hotel. If I can cause enough trouble for the lying backstabbing management then I’m a happy man. If I can expose these frauds then I’m a happy man. If I can get even one or two other employees to think like I do then I’m a happy man. I guess my ultimate goal is to stick it to “them” as much as I can. And that makes me a happy man.

Jesus I hate my job. It’s the people you know. I said this before, even recently. But I can’t stress how much I hate the people at the hotel. And yeah it’s my job to see the people and interact with them. But god almighty I hate it. If I could only be left alone to do my job I would be so happy.

And it’s the little things that get me thinking like this. This fucking chucklehead comes in this morning. He wants a room. He says he wants it for one day. So I inform him that if he checks in now he has to be out at noon. It’s the way it is. It’s the way it has always been.

But this asshole has to try to play games. He says to me that the manager had let him do it before. He can’t even get the managers name right. So I tell him if he doesn’t like it he can check in when the manager is here. He asks if she comes in this morning. I tell him no she doesn’t.

So then the guy leaves. He goes out to the his car and sits for a minute or two and comes back in. Ok now he wants the room. So I reiterate that check out is at noon. And I also charge the asshole full rate for his little stay.

That’s terrible isn’t it? But you know what? That’s the way it is. It’s my hotel when I’m there. I don’t care who or what has told some customer that the rules are different for them. Not on my shift. I do follow some rules.

And for the record I treat everyone like this. I don’t give a shit if you the customer thinks they are important. I don’t care if you own a business or have a lot of money. I don’t care who it is you think you know at the hotel. All that doesn’t mean a thing to me. I treat others as they treat me.

I also want to say this is all dedicated to the schmuck in 254.
