The worst hotel ever is on fire. The below pictures were taken just 20 minutes ago:

The title is just a dream of mine unfortunately. The real story is that the worst hotel ever just had a clothes dryer have a small fire. That was coming from the guy parked next to me who was listening to a scanner. This little dryer fire had South Beloit, Rockton, and Beloit fire departments come to the scene.

I do admit I got my hopes up when I came down the road from the interstate and saw fire trucks at the hotel. I still hope that one way or another that damn worst hotel ever gets whats coming to it.

I had to go get a crib for a guest and this below is what I saw:

It made me think of the pictures the Fail Blog has. I imagine you got to blame dumb bellman. I’m glad whomever did it can’t read. It gave me a good laugh.

Man I’m smiling on the inside and the outside. Two news articles to link and do minor quoting. First the links. Missed payment costs Ramada owners and Court names receiver for Ramada. The Rockford paper has the better article so I’ll use that one. Here is the good shit right off the bat:

The owners of the Ramada Inn and Conference Center were removed Thursday night after failing to make a payment to the city.

Owners Nooruddin and Farida Sadruddin (Tejany) were removed from the premises, and court-appointed receiver M. Neal Eckard, president of Nationwide Asset Management Group LLC, took over the hotel.

Good riddance! Hot damn! It goes onto say:

Eckard will run the Ramada Inn until it is in foreclosure; then the hotel will be for sale.

Now its auction time again and you got to hold your breath something worse than these fucking idiots buy it up again.

“We called over there; they said they were going to bring a check right over,” Kirichkow said. “Obviously, that didn’t happen.”

Manager Zar Zahid told the City Council she was trying to buy the hotel, but Kirichkow said she was removed from the hotel Thursday with the owners.

They even threw out the cousin/sister/aunt that was trying to save the hotel. This chick was going to turn the place around. She did a wonderful job didn’t she folks?

Kirichkow said the situation is good for the city.

“We’re guaranteed to get paid now. The court will see we get paid,” Kirichkow said. He’s confident the hotel will be under new ownership soon.

“It seems nothing but positive from this day forward,” Kirichkow said.

Kirichkow is a dreamer. These douche bags they just threw out were in the worst hotel ever because of a similar situation. In 2002 Tejany bought it for less than 2.3 million dollars way back in 2002. The place surely won’t get 2.3 million here in 2009. Only trash worse (and/or related) to the kicked out owners would buy that shitheap the worst hotel over. No I hope someone buys it and tears it down and builds a parking lot. Only then will the damage done by these removed owners begin to heal.

Time flies when your having fun. Below is the audio recording of the phone call of me getting “fired” by my then boss the sheriff:

I listen to that every now and then to make myself chuckle. I love the reason given to why I was “fired”:

they they deemed that the morale of the team would be better without you

That bit still makes me laugh out loud.

Because I keep forgetting and Gawain reminded me here is G’s remix of the above call:

Memo Time! This shit gets thrown up on the back of the door into the front desk office. It’s not like they want to draw attention to this kind of news. The bits I like are below and the bolded stuff was done by me:

This hotel is in a transition period. With the loss of <Name Removed> and the slowdown in business travel, the guest service and overall value that we offer our customers must be better than ever. I am confident that <Name Removed> knowledge and experience will enable us to do just that.

So now I this read as we (the peons) have to do more work. For those of you not counting at home it’s about 2 years and 6 months since my last raise from this hotel. So they (the bosses) expect more work for no more pay. This hotel is slowly starting to get to me.

I gave the new girl her exit interview. Not official in any way of course. The main thing that stood out for me is the reason the young lady is quitting. It’s funny really. She said she has a degree in HR and that her experience here at this hotel has made her change what she thought was her career path.

See the poor thing was trained in a matter of days. I remember a time when people were trained for weeks or in some cases months. This hotel is taking the worst hotel ever approach as of late and gives all trainees balls to the wall training in just a few days. The girl who this was her last day said she felt like half the time she didn’t know what she was doing. It’s a shame.

She also confirmed my suspicion that they (they always equals management) don’t inform new people about this retarded you have to stay until your relief has counted their cash thing rule. A while ago this was put in place because someone stole money from the change drawer. To combat this evil theft they decided to treat their employees like children and enforced this fucking stupid you stay until the next shift counts their money rule. This will not stop stupid people from stealing from the workplace.

Even better when you realize they have cameras they are to lazy to move to watch all of us nasty employees.

I mean if they really wanted to make sure the money wasn’t being stolen from their own employees turn that camera a bit and the issue is resolved. But I suspect they are honestly to lazy to turn the camera or too cheap to buy a new camera.

After having to deal with the idiot for so long at the worst hotel ever I just may be a little crazy about wanting to leave at my scheduled time. This craziness was explained to my boss before he hired me at my interview with him. So now I have to call the wisconsin department of labor and find out if they can fire me for leaving at the time they scheduled me to leave. This is almost a worst hotel ever level of retardeness.
