So I get in to work tonight and I’m asked by a few people if I had turned in my two week notice to quit. First let me say this rumor wasn’t started by me. Ok? Not me. I’m serious here. This is one of those things I won’t kid about. At least not this time. Sure I’ve started this kind of rumor before. It’s a tactic. This time this is not something I won’t joke about. That is if I do give a two week notice.

I am looking for a job, I can’t deny that. This siege on the hotel by these new owners is something I can’t be a part of. They are liars. They don’t care about any of the employee’s at the hotel. These people will bring nothing good to the hotel. So far one person was let go. And a cook called in and told them he was done. So I expect more of these kinds of things to happen.

Final thing here. This is night 19. Payday was supposed to be on this Friday. But because of the shuffling of owners we will not get payed until Monday. What can you do?

So we had a meeting on the 17th. In this meeting one of the cowboy’s let the employee’s in on what had happened. At six in the morning on 12th we were no longer under the management of the Old Owners. The bank now owns us, with these cowboy fucks managing.

The cowboy that is here did a little speech in which he told us about the wonderful company in which we all work. His speech and the questions he answered were nothing but empty bullshit filled rhetoric.

He then asked al the employee’s to stand up to introduce themselves and to promise to give good service. Everyone of them pussy managers (and peons) stood up and told this fuck what he wanted to hear. When it came my turn I stood up and told him my name and said “I won’t promise anything. I will do my job.” That’s all I can do. We all have our good days and our bad days. I do my job. No more, no less.

The managers are all running around like chickens with their heads cut off. It’s amazing how this kind of thing can light a fire under their asses. It is funny to note that the GM was fired just a few days later. And the GM was one of those who boisterously promised good service. This new company are bigger fucks than the previous ones.

So as of six this morning we are under new management. I already covered this. It’s great that we have new owners. To the old owners I have a few things I would like to say.

You are all fucks. From the owner herself down to the various presidents, vice presidents, and any other management type. You all have your heads up your collective asses. You couldn’t manage your way out of a wet paper bag.

I will never forget when you bastards fired me. I do thank you for doing that. I have learned much since November 28th 1998. I have met and talked with many lawyers who have told me about the law. I have even had conversations with the fine folks from the ACLU. All though the ACLU contacted me to late, it was very informative talking to them.

To me you have violated my constitutional rights in a way that I find unforgivable. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I can or can not talk about in public. Whether it be on or off the internet. The First Amendment is one of the most important freedoms we as a people sometime take for granted. The idea of it is even more important after the horrible attack on us by the terrorists on Tuesday. The idea that just because you were offended by what I said is just to bad. Its unfortunate that opinions are covered under these laws.

In the future I will follow what happens to you as a company. I wish great misfortune on all of you. It all takes time but when you get yours I will hear about it. So once again I say you all can go fuck yourselves. Thank you very much.

Since the hotel I work at is now mentioned three times on the cowboy’s website (here, here, and here) I decided to make a statement on how I feel about them. Just so I’m clear on this.

I think it is great that such a wonderful company is coming in to manage our hotel. It is a breath of fresh air. Knowing that this company will bring success to the hotel fills me with joy.

And despite what you may have read elsewhere, I have no problem with the new management. Any references you have read with me making reference to the phrase steers and queers, well disregard all that. We all know what comes from Texas. Wonderful management companies, ok? Not steers and queers.

I have mentioned the hotel getting sold a few times. First here and then here. I had a hard time finding the guys that are buying us on the Internet. I was given the website address of the prospective buyers by a person who did not want to be named. If you have the chance go see the guy’s from Texas website.

Before I comment on the cowboy’s website. Let me say I am no expert on this stuff. I have a small artistic background. I think I have some artistic common sense (I don’t know what else to call it). And I don’t think my site is perfect.

With that having been said, the cowboy’s website is the most pathetic site I have seen. These boys from Texas are supposed to be a fancy hotel management company. I expected something more professional. It looks like a kid did it. Seriously go take a look. The music the pages play, well it makes me want to smash out my speakers and maybe run them over with my car just for good measure.

It doesn’t say much about their company. I’m worried about these fucks from Texas now.

On the 21st of this month I talked about the rumor of the hotel getting sold. The Beloit Daily News had a interesting article in yesterday’s paper called Panel told sale near at Holiday Inn hotel which pretty much ends the rumor. It seems it’s now a matter of time before we get sold. Here is the obligatory quote:

“The intent is to keep it a Holiday Inn and retain all of its current employees.”

Sure, though I think us by the hour peons are ok. The article also mentions how they plan to stay with the same brand. Time will tell.

Hey with a title like this can you guess that I’m talking about the state of Texas? And of course it’s a reference to Full Metal Jacket. Where is this going you may ask? Well it’s the latest poop on the hotel being sold.

It seems that a group from the state of Texas is looking to pick us up. And the headline pretty much sums up how I feel about people from Texas. And remember this is how I feel about these fucks from Texas. If in the future you read stuff with me saying otherwise, well that’s me lying ok? Well that’s how I feel about people from Texas looking to buy the hotel.

So if these boys come in and buy us, it seems that they will be changing us over to another brand. Fuck that I say. I’m not learning another computer system. Unless it’s a windows based operating system. You should see this old unix clunker we have.

The other thing about switching brands is that I will loose my status. What I mean is right now I’m the only one who knows how to the do the audit. I’m valuable. But with a new system I’m just another peon again.

You also may ask is it a good idea to come out and bad mouth our prospective buyers? Fuck them cowboys I say. This is the last hotel I’m going to work at. I hate this goddamned industry. And on a subconscious level I think I want to get fired again. The website that got one man fired twice and can do the same for you. Gosh that has a nice ring to it.
