I'm baaaack
Did that sound ominous?
I tried...
3 Day weekend... You know, Labor day :)
We got some new muffins, chocolate chip, I think, a little dry, but not to bad, and cream cheese pastries, its a change, its a good thing :D
Friday night, not full hotel at all, about 1/2 or maybe 2/3, I need this hotel to be 100% full every night that we are open so that we can be open till the end of October, that is the very latest that we will stay open, I think, so come on people, get in this hotel... lol... I wish!
The pool is clean, yet it is to cold outside to swim... that is called Irony...
I have figured out why the hotel keeps having demon possession problems... Its because there is a cemetery next to us, actually next to and behind, it is set a bit back from us... So they must have buried an evil person or 5 back their and they have been bothering the hotel... at least I have finally figured it out!!! Took my long enough... I'm just a little slow... took me all the way since May to see the HUGE sign that is next to my Hotel that says Cemetery... Nice...
Ok.. got to go...
Later people...

The weekend of 8-28/29 ... Gentlemans Club? LMFAO
Ok... So, not much happened yesterday, actually, nothing happened yesterday, I checked in 2 people... that is it... bored, bored, bored... So I guess folks figured they would make up for it today... WOW, they really didn't have to... REALLY!!!
Today, the police pulled somebody over right in front of TBHTEW and blocked the exit of the parking lot with their cruiser, that was nice, and they stayed their for over an hour, what that guy did to have the cops search his vehicle and keep him detained for over an hour, I don't know, but they did eventually leave, I don't know if it was under his own power or if he was towed away, I couldn't see from where I sit, I just see the flashing lights unless I go look and I got tired of going and looking... so... they did eventually leave...
I had somebody call me and ask if I had any rooms available, what size, how much, could they get them for 2 nights (no we are only open on weekends now), are there fridges in the rooms, how close to the local attractions, every question possible was asked, and when they were done they said thank you for my time and they would discuss it with the wife and maybe be stopping in... I don't think they stopped... but ok, I was waiting for them to ask when the building was built and the name of the person wow built it... I would have said Bob and between 1902 and 1908... because I am a smart ass....
There was a room that got about 134 calls this evening... almost every time the phone rang "Put me to room ..." and every time I would say "Pardon me?" and they would then say "Can you please put me threw to room ..." You know, you think they would have caught on after about the 5th time... I just pretended like I was having trouble hearing them... lol... MANNERS PEOPLE!!!
There was the cutest gay man that came in here tonight... he had a reservation, and his two female companions brought him here so he could leave his stuff in his room before they went out... so one of the girls is filling out the reg card and my Gaydar is just pinging like crazy, and he tells the other girl "I just want to go find the nearest gay bar and have a good time!!!" mean while he is holding a paper mask on a stick that is of a blond girl wearing a tiara!! So cute and funny :) and I tell him that he should go to either ____ or ____ and he looks at me and says "How did you know right away where to go???" and I said "Now... what do you think" and he takes a good look at me and says "OMG, Your a Lesbian?!?! Well, then tell us how to find the way!!" So I did... and then just to make sure that they wouldn't get lost I gave them the address to put into their GPS...lol... Its always good to be helpful :p
Now... There are certain questions that you just do not ask the front desk clerk, and the following is one of them, this is why we put phone books in the room... I got a call from one of the room (happens to be the same room that got the 134 calls) and when I answered the phone this is what I get asked "Hello, I was just wondering if there are any Gentleman's clubs around here?" WTF? Really? If you want to go to a strip joint just ask me if there are any strip joints, cause in the amount of time it took me to think about what you said and then say no, I don't think so, and then hang up while thinking about it, I remembered that there is a strip joint or two in the area, but with you trying to be all high class and everything I totally forgot about them in the midst of me trying not to laugh at you.... There is nothing wrong with going to a Strip club, it made me laugh that you are staying HERE and trying to sound all uppity... Thanks for the laugh buddy :)
So that is all for this weekend, unless something great happens in the next hour... then I guess I will be back... Have a great week :)

Then don't eat them you big jerk!!!
So... Breakfast is served here from 6-9am, and when I call it breakfast that is being polite, there was a previous post about what we serve, so if you want to go take a look, there are pictures...
Anyhow, yesterday morning, about 7:50 a guy comes up to the desk and asks me if there are any of those puffy pastries today, and I told him no that today all we had was the muffins that were set out at this time, Juice and Coffee, and then I smiled, and he proceeds to bitch about how those muffins are nasty and this is unacceptable and that he is hungry and why don't we have more variety than that and those muffins are disgusting and blah blah blah... I smiled the while time we he ranting, there was nothing I could do, what do you want DAFI? You want me to pull a puffy pastry out of my ass??? I don't have any, if I did, they would be out on a tray, like they were the previous day, but obviously I don't, because they are not...
Really people... if you google the city name and then cheap hotel... well... expect a cheap hotel, expect to not get good breakfast stuff, expect to have to come to the desk to pick up your own extra towels because I can't leave my desk empty to deliver towels to 15 different rooms, and expect to have your room NOT look like the Ramada, cause that is not where you are staying... and guess what??? You bitching isn't going to magically make things appear, it will make me grouchy and if you come up here and ask for anything after you have bitched, I hope you don't expect me to go looking real hard for what ever it is that you want, cause once you have pissed me off, I don't just "let it go", I hold on to that crap...
Remember, politeness counts, Use you manners, We are all still people even if we are Hotel clerks and we deserve to be treated with respect, I am respectful toward you I would like it in return :)

Booty call :P
Just so you all know... If you rent a room, and then leave your Mom with your son and go out to the bar and pick up a Booty call and come back to TBHTEW and you want to rent a different room so you can get you some Booty, you don't have to whisper, your Mom and your son can't hear you... LMAO... and I promise not to tell them that you went out to get some...
Yup... that was my highlight so far this evening... If anything else happens, I will add it later... I need to go roll around in the back room and laugh to myself now...
OH... Update... I stepped outside for some fresh air... and the chick that was in here whispering about needing a room to get that booty... ya... I didn't have a room for her, so she took that guy out to her vehicle and got some booty THERE!!! Nice... I wonder what she is going to do with him now???
I work at such a high class Hotel....

This Blog will be ending soon...
I got told we will be closing soon... Just another week or so of full time and then we go to weekends only :(
We close October 1st for the season...
So I am currently looking for new employment for after October 1st...
The blog has been awfully slow lately, I guess the DAFIs have been staying home, or at least off my shift... LMAO
I am lucky if I get somebody to check in on my shift... at least my arm is doing better now so I can do some cleaning and laundry, not so bored now :)
I made a tower with the Pepsi cans, but I forgot the cord to hook the camera up to the computer...lol.. I will try tomorrow to get that on here... Cause that is THE excitement since the last time I was here ... sorry... nothing else.. Tonight I get to build another Pepsi tower... YEAH... besides that it has been very quiet, just some laundry...
So I hope that everybody had a safe and fun summer, and I will keep on putting things on here until we close... Hopefully something good will happen :)

08-16-09... time is moving backwords... wow...
Actually I am just catch up blogging while I have somebody Else's computer :)
The coffee demon has moved into the back room... I don't know what is up with this CD, but I think it must just like me :) because it keeps finding more and more ways to remind me that it is still here...
There is now a "purring" noise in the back room when i am folding laundry, yes I said "purring" like a cat... at first I thought it was some kind of a machine, but I walked around and I couldn't find any machine that it could be coming from... so I don't know what is going on... I did finally locate the noise as coming from the duct in the ceiling, and it stops sometimes, but then it starts up again later... I am beginning to wonder if it is actually a cat, but there is never any meowing, just the purring... I am pretty sure it must be that Coffee demon... the one that was possessing the coffee pot... To bad there is not a coffee pot demon exerciser...
There was nothing else happening on this night that was exciting... Just trying to stay awake on 3rd shift :)

8-17-09... car crash, visitors, and drunk people... oh ya!!
SO... LMAO... when I got to work tonight I had company :) BL and Princess Leia (formerly Obie One) were both here, BL was working on some paperwork that had gotten messed up, it was suppose to be her day off and tomorrow is her day of also and she doesn't want to come in tomorrow so she stopped out tonight to get this little bit of paperwork fixed... so anyhow, they were here... and BL was about done and one of the Students that are staying at TBHTEW comes running into the lobby and yells that BL vehicle just got backed into and that the perpetrator was trying to drive off! BL took off out the back door like a bat out of hell... So, VERY long story short... 3 kids (to me anybody that is young twenties or younger are kids :D) were staying down here with friends and going to a local amusement park during the day and partying it up at night and these 3 were sent on a "store run" well... instead of looking were they were going they just backed up into BL vehicle... nice... Now, you would think, call the cops, get the report, turn it into insurance and everything will get paid for, right?? NO! Dumb ass cop tells the kids that hit BL that since her tires were over the parking line AND that since we are on Private property that they are not liable to pay the damage... WTF??? And they didn't even get ticketed for anything... So... that means that if ANY of you dear readers are having a bad day and you want to mess up some stuff, you need to get your older messed up beater car, go to a motel parking lot and just start running into vehicles, you won't get ticketed, and your insurance won't have to pay for anything... and doesn't it feel great to just destroy things??? That is MY plan the next time I'M having a crappy day... Not the vehicle I have now... I'm going to have to go buy a different car, cause the one I drive now is entirely to nice :)
and why is it that Drunk people think that everybody wants them? You are staying at the TBHTEW, which obviously isn't, and that means you really DON'T have money, you are dressed like a slob, you smell, your hair is nasty looking, you are stumbling around calling people Huny, Sweetie and whatever else happens to fall out of your mouth and you REALLY think that somebody is going to go back to your HOTEL ROOM with you??? I don't think so SugarBalls!!! Get over yourself, get some self respect, and treat a girl like a human, then you MIGHT have a chance... but probably not... cause with the way you were acting, your Momma obviously didn't teach you the whole: open the door, pull out the chair, treat a woman nice routine... Not that all women like that... but it is a good place to start... I'm soooo in the wrong business.....

Don't leave your post.. dumbass!!!
I got a call while i was at work tonight, it was from our security guy, he was at another property, the one right next to ours, he wanted to know if I could come over and check in some people, they had been standing the in the lobby waiting for an hour for the desk clerk and he hadn't showed up... WTF??? So I said I would... The security guy came to my hotel and waited here so TBHTEW would not be empty and I went there, I could not find any keys, evidently they use key cards over there, we use real keys here... so I finally found them a room at one of out other hotels, they were all set to go to that hotel, they were in there car and everything, I got in my car and that is when the clerk got out of his car with a donut box and walked into the hotel!!! Where the hell was he for the last 2 hours??? Those people called 30 minutes before they got to the hotel, then waited for an hour before the security guy got there, then it was another 30 minutes before i got there and found them a room to stay in... total... 2 hours... where the hell was he all that time??? and then he just walks in with a box of donuts???? I want THAT job!!! He better get written up, 3 days suspended... SOMETHING!!! He probably won't... but he should!
Nothing really happened at TBHTEW, some guy couldn't get his PSP online because we have weak WIFI, and giggly girls called about pillows and cups, and 20 people checked into 2 rooms... it was 4 adults and there kids, they were big rooms, I didn't realize there was that many people till after they walked away and I looked at the number in party part, then I was like WOW... that is crazy!!! And of course there was the usual "I need towels" ... All in all... slow night :)... Thank you Princess Leia for letting me use you computer :) It really helps me stay awake :)

My 'Puter and my arm are not working right...
Its been a hot minute since I have blogged... sorry... My computer will not let me get online, I don't know what is wrong with it, but it is messed up, so my blogs will now be few and far between, when I can get on somebody Else's computer I will update on what ever has been happening since the last time i have been on... I addition to the messed up computer I messed up my arm, don't know for sure how, but I now have a soft cast thing on it and that makes it super fun to type, so you all better appreciate this damn blog!!! lol... ok... lets get this started..
Since the last time I was on here I went away for a few days, came back and on the days that I have worked not a lot happened... a few people asked for some butt paper, more towels, things like that... the pool has now turned a Lovely shades of emerald, and while I really think the color is very pretty nobody wants to swim in a pool that cool... at least it has cut down on the towel usage :) Last night a guy came in on Obie-One (currently Princess Leia) shift and looked at like 6 rooms before he decides that he would take room 109, by that time it was my shift and when he came up he said that he needed extra sheets, blankets, pillows and all that since somebody would be sleeping on the couch bed, i gave him all that stuff and he went back to the room, it was about 10-15 minutes later that he came BACK up again and said that no they would not be staying after all because they didn't like the couch and they needed a refund, this entire time I never saw anybody but him, but he kept talking about "We" so I guess maybe he had a frog in his pocket...
Now, I usually don't talk about things that happen on other peoples shifts, but this one is just to good to pass up... I had the other night off and Zena covered my shift for me, and this happened while she was working... I got this story second hand, this is what I was told happened when she was working... There were 3 girls staying in one of the rooms, they had gone out for the evening, one of them came back early and when she got back to the room she locked the deadbolt on the room, thereby leaving the other 2 girl locked out of the room, when they got back they freaked out on Zena, she ended up calling SG who came in and broke into the room threw a window (with the 2 girls permission) meanwhile the 2 girls are demanding that the hotel buy them breakfast the next morning and that they be upgraded to a better room, and just being snotty little bitches in general... now really people... Was it the hotels fault that your friend locked you out of your room? NO! Why the hell would that make it the hotel's responsibility to buy you breakfast??? What brand of crack were you smoking to think that you would not only get a better room but that the hotel would buy you breakfast? At least you got back into your room... So the next morning they come up and start fussing to the manager about how easy it was for SG to get into their room last night! Wait just a minute... it wasn't that easy! Now they are bitching that a robber could get into their room... The entire time the previous night Zena was as calm as she could be, from what I was told, while these girls were being bitches, and when SG got their she did walk away at one point in time so as to not kill somebody... I guess it was a good thing that I wasn't working... I don't know if I could have kept my calm, from what I was told, they were major bitches and I would have hurt somebody...
I think the coffee pot demon has moved into other areas, I was reading a book and one of the lights was out, but them it suddenly came on and then I could see my book just fine... and the bathroom light doesn't always come on like it is suppose to, the vacuum sometimes comes on when i plug it in, so I think that the coffeepot demon has moved into the electrical system...
That should be it for now... I will write again when I can get on a computer again... till them.. take care of your selves and remember that just because the hotel is a good price does not mean it is a good place to stay :)

Leaving for 2 days...YAAAA!!!!
Once again... not alot happened at TBHTEW... Just after SG left a guy comes up to the desk and says that somebody is knocking on all the doors upstairs and could I make that person stop... I told him that I would look into that in just a moment (I had to write a reg card onto the daily sheet) and when I was done with what I had to do I walked upstairs, looked around, saw nobody and went downstairs and looked around... still nobody... What exactly did this guy think I was going to do? Use my Super Powers and magically see who it was and then go bust down their door? For real??? I didn't fine anything and there were no more disturbances for the evening... thank you for your time :)
And, just in case I haven't mentioned it before (cause I don't know if I have) the fax machine scares me... it rings like a telephone at odd times of the night and then nothing happens... There is a different noise it makes when I fax comes in so I know that is not what is happening... but everytime that dang thing rings and I am in the office area I about jump out of my skin! I should be use to it by now, it has been fixed for at least a week now... Oh well... I guess I will just keep jumping until the season is over...
By the way, I think that the demon from the coffee pot got angry about us getting rid of its home and it has decided to hurt me... I don't know if it is hurting anybody else, but I figure that since I am the one that made the coffee 5 days a week that is why it is picking on me... Since we got the new coffee pot (about a week now) I have popped both my knees, and that hurts a LOT, hit my left hand on the dryer and my right hand on the folding counter, I have also done something to my right arm around the elbow area, it hurts when I carry anything heavier than a book and even the book causes some problems... So... I think that the demon from the coffee pot is attacking me, but since it is invisible I can't see it! Does anybody know a good coffee Exorcist?
I am going to be gone for a few days, so don't think I have abandoned you all, dear readers :)

20 minutes left on the dryer... lets see what we can write about :)
Not a lot happened this evening... a lady checked in, and then checked out about 5 minutes later... I put her in a room at the end of the hotel, we have some foreign students staying in the hotel and after one room of them checked out we keep having that one room have problems... there was one night that a guy rented that room and when he walked into that room there was a guy standing in his room, the guy understandably wanted a refund and he left... tonight this lady rents a room, I put her in that room and when she goes to walk in to the room the door isn't even locked! She pushes the door open and the air conditioner is on (it isn't suppose to be), there are crumbs on the bed like somebody was sitting in there eating, and there was toothpaste on the mirror, she also said that the door above that room was also opened and that she just didn't feel comfortable staying there tonight... hhhmmm... Me thinks that one of the students has a key and they don't want to turn it in... Besides that.. Nothing exciting...
So... On to the infomercials... There were a TON of them on tonight, and everytime I tried to change channels a would end up with a new infomercial after just a little bit... So pathetic...
First infomercial was about "Coin Bears" These are bears with coin sealed onto some part of their body's... AND with the price they were asking it was a STEAL!!! They had collectors trying to call in and buy up ALL the bears, so we should call RIGHT NOW and get us one each of these 10 bears... Ya... No thank you...
2nd infomercial of the day was for something called the "Bump-It"... This little product (I don't know how we have lived without it THIS long) puts a huge lump on your head, so your hair will stick up, kind of like a speed bump for jokes, so you have more time to get them... and not only will you get these two regular size ones you can also get FOR FREE (just pay shipping and handling) 2 ponytail bump-its... so your ponytails can have bumps... Isn't that great???
and for the final infomercial of the day... it was for a Male Sexual Enhancement product :) Now I am not 100% sure what it does, but I do remember a testimonial from one Happy customer "I gained 1 whole inch" and there motto... and it made me laugh every time they said it "You have nothing to lose and A LOT to gain" So the basis of this product is to make your Madhood bigger... ok, that is great! However... until they put Skill in a bottle, size isn't going to matter... Sorry guys... but if you don't know how to write your name, you really should just keep your pencil in the case, cause your essay is just going to disappoint all people involved :)
So... Besides hearing the infomercials, moping, wiping, and laundry... Not a lot happened today... :) Don't worry, Be Happy :)

8-1-09... I saved a life... No really.. I could very well have...
Nothing to exciting happened all night long... little bit of laundry, little bit of cleaning, you know.. the usual... a few people checked in, a few people left cause they just could NOT stay in TBHTEW, nothing out of the ordinary... That is, until... BL got here and I was telling her about what happened on my shift and giving her a reg card that somebody was going to call about and a little boy about 2 1/2 years old come running into the lobby from up the hallway, he was crying hysterically. If you are a Mom (the kind with a capital M) then you know that cry, the one where the kid if frantically worried about something, well, that is the cry that was emitting from this child, so I step out of the office to see where the parents are... and there are none to be found, so I followed the child, he ran out of the hotel into the parking lot (still crying) and he proceeds to run around the cars and I'm asking people out there if they know who this child belongs to, and nobody does... so I am tring to get thing kid to stop running and he is looking at me all scared cause I am NOT Mom... then he takes off toward the front of the hotel, that would be where the 4 lane Highway is... um.. YEAH... I moved my ass a bit faster then.. I caught him about 10-15 feet away from the Highway, he was a quick little bugger! Once I grabbed him and picked him up he stopped yelling so much, I asked him what his Mom's name was, and I think he told me his name...lol... and then I told him lets go find your mom and then I carried him into the hotel, I went into the office and sat him on the counter and within just a minute or 2 a couple ladies came up and said they found him mom and that she was coming up to the office to get him.. I told them thank you... Mom shows up and says that his sister was suppose to be watching him while she loads the car, Ok, I am expecting that there was probably a random teenager in some trouble now... NO... a little bit later a little girl, maybe 7-8 years old comes in through the front door looking like she is about to cry and says that she is looking for her little brother and she starts to describe him, I let her know that her Mom already got him, and she said Ok, and thank you and takes off...
So... Lesson for the day people... If you are in a strange place, like not your home, DON'T have your young child watch your very young child while you do ANYTHING with the door open... cause they don't know where they are and they get lost easily... That poor baby was scared to death and couldn't find his Mom, and the sister was scared and couldn't find her brother... And you never know who could have snatched up that cute little blond hair, blue eyes baby boy and took off with him in just a moment... or he could have been hit by a car right there on the highway...
Later folks

7-31-09... The night is not over, but I have a moment..
So lets get this done...
Why is the Vacancy light on? How many times in one night can I be asked this? I am NOT suppose to turn that light off until the last reservation comes in, that is it... I am sorry... and i have told about 100 people that tonight, and why do you complain about our policy? Just get the hell out of my hotel, is your complaint going to get you a room? Do you think I make this policy? NO! I don't! All it does is cause me trouble... ALL NIGHT LONG!!! I just smile, be polite and use my people skills :)
So... There was this one chick... GRRR... I wanted to kick her in the freaking head!! She walking up to the desk and asks if we have any rooms available (its 12:10), and I tell her no we do not, so she walks out, and then about 10 minutes later she walks back in and says where is the girl that was wearing the white shirt? She said that if the people that had reservations don't show up by 12 that we can have their rooms! Well.. I don't believe that... and i have a note that says 12:30 and since she was a pain in my ass and kept harassing me I made her wait till even later than that... once again people... DON'T PISS OFF THE DESK CLERK!!! A lady with a reservation came in, signed the reg card and then decided that she wasn't staying after all, so she checked out, she never even went into her room, so I got her key back, right ofter she handed me her key a guy comes in and asks if I have a room, I sayed yes, this lady just cancelled so he got her room, he left and that one chick that was annoying me comes in the door and says to me "I know he didn't have a reservation cause I saw him at another hotel that we were looking at, so how did HE get a room???" and I had to explain to her how he got a room... so... I made her wait longer to see if my reservations would show up... once again... DON'T PISS OFF THE DESK CLERK!!! Then she says "Well... We are going to wait here in your lobby just in case that happens again, so we can be the first ones in line, unless we can be put on a list or something... is there a list????" I told her that there is no list... so she says they are just going to wait in the lobby... Fine... you are going to be waiting a while... once again... (say it with me...) DON'T PISS OFF THE DESK CLERK!!! Really... If you want good treatment, then you really should act nicely... You have to wonder, did their momma's ever teach them ANY manners at all? Ever? And if they did, at what point did they forget them? I know I was taught manners... and I choose when to use them, I use them dealing with the general public, Grandparents, people that I want to hire me for a job, you know that kind of thing... AND when I want somebody to give me something, like a hotel room... yeah... like then... The final straw was when this chick told me that she had a room reserved across the street, but it was $109, and since ours was less than that she cancelled that reservation and was just waiting for a room at ours... Are you serious? You should have kept the other one and saved yourself the trouble...
And on a little side note here... Our fax machine got fixed... So now it rings at odd times of the night.. like a telephone, but there is nobody there, cause it is a fax machine, not a phone... and then once in a while we even get a fax... Just another item in the hotel that is possessed...

Guess what I did at work on Thursday night... LOL... Well... and the usual mopping and stuff...
And I guess none of the maids can clean a bathroom... because the only person that talked to me all night on Thursday the only thing they said was that the bathroom was not clean, mostly the shower...

I have proof that we are the Hotel from Hell!!!
Our coffee pot is possessed by a demon... No really! It was sputtering (like talking in tongues), there was stuff spouting out the top (like foaming at the mouth) and there was water shooting out the bottom of it (like when that girl projectile vomits split pea soup)... So, the only logical conclusion is that the coffee pot is possessed by a demon... I think I will call him Bob...
One of out rooms has water all over the floor... don't know where it came from, but it is there... it was also there last year and they fixed what ever was causing the water to be there, but it happened again this year, so I don't know what is going on what that... either way, I was told not to rent that room... Ok... Thank you Captain Obvious?
There was no laundry left for me to fold or wash tonight... so Obie-1 (and I may have spelled that wrong) is Princess Leia for tonight, on her request... She likes that name better, but... I'm sorry, Obie-1 is what came to mind... But for Tonight... Princess Leia it is :)
On to the Maid issue... We had 3-4 maids to clean the hotel rooms, they averaged having about 14 rooms each on most nights, sometimes a few more. I have a friend that is a Maid also and she said that they can do 16 room properly with no problem in the allotted time... So anyhow... This one maid we have, Martha, doesn't clean rooms for crap, we are constantly getting complaints from guests about their showers being dirty, no towels, dirty sheets, and the floors not being vacuumed... BL talked to Martha about these problems to see if she could improve, she did not, BL talked to her again... Martha eventually went and talked to the head of Maids (I guess that is what she would be called) and said that BL was picking on her... so NOW, Martha gets to go clean a different hotel, because the people that own our hotel own a bunch more, so they just put Martha at a different hotel to clean there, fine, let her go NOT clean at a different place... BUT... Where is our replacement Maid?? Oh... we don't get one... We now have 2 maids to do the work of our previous 3-4, because Martha also got her friend to go with her... That is soooo going to help our hotel get cleaned... NOT...
I almost forgot! We have boy scouts!!! Big ones... like 20 year old boy scouts... well... they said they were boy scouts and I thought it was funny, cause when they went to fill out the Registration card they couldn't remember the licence plate number so I said to them "Wait a minute... I thought Boy Scouts were always prepared..." They thought it was funny also... At least they were polite and didn't call me Sweetheart or anything stupid like that...
I have got to go, this is actually my day off, I was just catching up on my blog before I forgot... I hope you all have a great day, don't drink Demon possessed coffee, if your hotel room is not clean and you are polite, they will often times give you a better room... so Remember... Manners count, and think about what you are saying to that person behind the desk... how do you know that chick is not a single mom, getting little or no child support, working at that lovely hotel to support her family the best she can and you just walked in on her second day of PMS, with no coffee, one of her kid's birthdays is next week, she just put the last of her money in her gas tank and some guy that looks like YOU cut her off in traffic on the way to work today...
Kind of makes you take a moment... doesn't it??

Kind of makes you take a moment... doesn't it??
Migrain...
So... I had a migraine.. Give me a break... I have had more than a few people call me and ask me why I didn't post a blog for the day before last (or what ever that damn day was that I worked... it was Sunday) If I have a migraine looking at a computer screen makes my head hurt even worse... so come on people... can't I get a day off???

If you are a Maid.. don't stay in a hotel.. EVER!!!
Hypothetical question... Now you KNOW this isn't really hypothetical... right.. cause it is on here... lmao...
If you had to make a choice between having a room with a hole in the wall... or dirty sheets... which one would you choose? I would go with not staying here... but that is just me...lol... No really... I would go with the hole in the wall... This lady comes up to my desk last night and asks for a set of sheets, and then says "Our first room had a hole in the wall and now this one has dirty sheets, this is just horrible... I just want to go to sleep..." So I got her fresh sheets and told her I was very sorry and that I would talk to my manager and let her know that the maid did not clean that room properly and I hope the rest of her stay was better and if she wanted me to I could move her to a different room... but she said she just wanted to go to bed.... and then she left...
So I little bit later my FAVORITE couple of the night walked in... they had a reservation for 3 nights... I got the Registration card out and had them fill it out, gave them the key to their room and then they told me that they were housekeepers for a hotel where they live and could they please have sheets and a clean blanket cause they know how it works (WTF does that mean?)... So I got them clean sheets and a blanket and sent them on their way, and that is when the fun began... I saw them a LOT for the next hour and a half! The first room smelled, so I moved them, the second room needed vacuumed better, but I didn't have anywhere else to put them that was close enough for them so they stayed there, then the tub was not clean enough for them, then the towels were not actually as white as they wanted them to be... not as WHITE as they wanted them to be??? And "They paid $200 for this room and it was crappy and they could have gone across the street" Blah Blah Blah... Hey... SugarBalls... I checked you in... You didn't pay $200... Why do you keep saying that??? Oh... that is right... cause you paid through an online travel agent, so you might have paid THEM $200, but that doesn't mean you paid US $200... By the end of their fussiness I was ready to go pay for them to stay somewhere else just so I could have some piece and quiet... they did finally go to bed... I hope they enjoy their Express Breakfast! And they said they are NOT going to stay here for all 3 nights, they are leaving today, and they want a refund for their last 2 days that they are not staying! That is nice, take it up with your travel agent... cause we can't do that... sorry...
And I finally have a name for the new girl, well not the newest girl that started last night, but the one before that... she will be.... Obe-1... Because every time I come into work she says "There is just one bin of laundry" and I like when there is some laundry for me to do... and for some reason One Bin of laundry made me think of OBe-1... yeah.. I am dork... so now I have to go change the Hotel Players list... Now the new girl needs a name... I might actually have one for her already... but I will wait and see... hhhmmm... Obe-1... lol

How sad is it...
When you get married and on your wedding night you have to stay at TBHTEW?
Do you not have at least ONE relative that will pay for you to stay at a really nice hotel somewhere?
Isn't it tradition for the Brides family (or is it the groom's family?) to pay for the honeymoon?
There is a couple that came in to TBHTEW at about 3am in their wedding outfits and got a room... for real... I felt bad for them... and they were all like blushing bride kind of Bride and Groom...
And that was not a very comfy looking dress either, and it needed to be fitted better around the top...lol... poor girl...
I wonder if this is how she pictured her wedding night when she was a little girl :)

The BL has found the blog...
So... The BL has found the Blog...
And my job is great...
I love coming in here...
There are never any problems...
I enjoy every minute that I spend here...
I look forward to being here...
My schedule is awesome...
I love only having Mondays and Thursdays off every week...
I enjoy having people yell at me because the Maids didn't actually clean the rooms, they just pretended because they knew they would be at home sleeping by the time it was figured out...
(This particular blog was put up as a joke because the BL actually did finally find the blog... and I thought it would be funny... I now have other days off besides Mondays and Thursdays, and people don't really yell at me all that much, and the maid usually do a pretty good job)

I was informed... Oops...
I was informed tonight that I may be getting different nights off soon... I have only been able to have Mondays and Thursdays off for a while now... because Faceless can only work here on Mondays and Thursdays, he has another job...
He is called Faceless because I never see him, I did meet him one time, but I don't recall what he looked like...
Anyhow, he has to go "Drive Big Trucks" or "Go on vacation" or some people say he is "Going to visit his Uncle" there are many different ways to say it... but it all boils down to the boy has to go sit a little time in jail... he didn't do anything horrible, like kill somebody, but I do not want to see him again... he gave alcohol to a person under the age of 21... and in my eyes that is Bad, with a capital B, what if that person had gotten in a car and went for a drive and killed somebody? When I was told about this I was told about it like it was no biggie... Oops, he did this, he has to go sit some time... You want to know something? Somebody I knew was KILLED because he was drinking under the age of 21 and then got in a car and drove, he killed himself and 2 other people... to me, this is Bad... not an Oops.... I don't ever want to see Faceless again... This is a problem for me... really really... I think he should have to read the book Letters to Stephan while he sits in jail... Maybe I should have my BL give it to him...
OK.... Public service announcement over for today... Sorry... touchy subject...

Is it a Felony or a Mistomeanor?
BTW... The spellcheck doesn't work on the title...lol...
Tonight started out REALLY interesting, the moment I walked in my second shift girl (she is new and still doesn't have a name yet) was having a "discussion" with a couple at the front desk... They were not happy with their room and they were leaving, they wanted a refund, the problem was that they had checked in HOURS ago, like more than 8 hours ago, and they now wanted a refund because they were not happy about the room. The problem with that is that in 8 hours they could have come into the room, slept, showered, gotten some booty, had a party, done whatever, and then come up here and said they didn't want the room and that they wanted a refund... So the girl called the Manager and asked what we should do, and the guy that was standing in front of her say (really loudly because he is an asshole and his Momma didn't teach him any better manners) "You can refund my money like I said" and so she listens to the manager for a moment and tries to explain to him that she can't refund his money because they paid in cash on a different shift and that money was dropped and we keep limited cash on hand her and she is being as nice a possible to him and finally she says "Do you want to talk to my manager?" and he says "YA... Gimmy that phone!!" he was such a rude ass... and he listens to the phone for a minute and then tosses it back to the girl and starts to walk out the lobby and says "You better send me my money in 3 days or I will come back down here and put a bullet between your eyes!" Seriously? Dude... You paid $55.69 for that room and your an asshole... and if you think that you are going to get that money in 3 days you are soooo mistaken... and after he said that his wife tried to make things all better by saying "He doesn't really mean that... he doesn't.. just please try to get that money sent out as soon as possible... I am so sorry..." That guy will be luck to get his money sent out in 2 weeks...
Somewhere in the conversation with that girl he asked why we can't just get a housekeeper in there to clean him room... Well... lets think about this... it is after midnight... and housekeepers work first shift... He wanted us to call in a housekeeper at midnight to come and re clean his room... I don't think so... Some people just need to have their ass handed to them at some point in time... he was a big, tall, man and i think that he has just never had his ass handed to him... poor guy, I hope it happens to him soon... then he will appreciate thing more...

Real stuff...
Ok... So there were people sitting in my lobby all night long, this happens alot actually, we have students from other countries staying here and they work in different places around here on late shifts so they sit in the lobby and use the Internet all hours of the night. They don't bother me, so I don't care if they are there, just be quiet..
So I am up doing my usual nightly work, mopping, laundry, general cleaning and I go into the lobby area to do my mopping and there are 3 people sleeping at the tables!!! 3!!! I was a little startled, but didn't think anything of it... I just continued doing what I was doing, mopping and cleaning windows I figured they were the students and that they would get up and wonder back to their rooms in a little while, it has happened before and I actually find it kind of funny... Well... This actually is not what happened... just a minute ago I was coming out of the back room and one of the people picks her head up and looks at me and says "Hey! What time is it?" I told her it was 6:15 in the morning, she then asks me where the nearest Money gram place is!!! Are you kidding me? You just sat in my lobby all night long being in my way so I couldn't vacuum, or wipe things and you aren't even a registered guest here??? WTF?? Since when is the name of my hotel charity place to get in the way so 3rd shift can't get her job done and not TBHTEW? Maybe if I had been asked it would have been ok, or if the second shift person had told me she said it was ok for this person to sit there it would have been ok, but no, she just sat there and waited all night long with a couple of the students... And I know she is not one of them as soon as i talked to her... GGGRRRR
Somebody stole a shower curtain out of one of the room and took it home with them when they left... Really? You wanted our nasty shower curtain THAT bad??? Wow... I want to know how bad their shower curtain is at home for them to want ours????
Nothing real exciting happened tonight... and I have tomorrow off... so that is nice... Type to you later :)

You left what at my work? And you want me to watch out for it???
I walked into work today to see THIS 
abomination sitting in a chair behind my desk! I HATE SpongeBob. I was asked by SG to please watch out for this huge monstrosity until tomorrow because it would not fit in her vehicle today... what else could I say? Of course I will! Smile, Smile... Gag...
So, here I am at work, with a freaking stuffed toy that is almost as big as I am! And I have lots to do... Well buddy, you are going to earn your keep! So get to work!
First order of business... You need to make sure that we have all the Reservations for tomorrow, so get your happy little butt on that computer and check to see if they are all in there!
He did a decent enough job with the reservations on the computer, once he stopped all that damned giggling, I thought I was going to have to muzzle him! OMG... And he is a little slow, so by the time he was finished with that I noticed it was almost 2am, and it was time to do a few wake up calls, so I handed him the Wake-Up call sheet and told him to call the room and get them up... He did... but once again with the damned giggling... I don't know how people handle that crap on a day to day basis!?!?!
So we finally got the Wake-Up calls done, then we needed to start with the cleaning, we had to mop a few floors, I told him to get that done while I got some laundry folded... he didn't want to, he sat his whiny little but down on a chair and said he was tired!!! WTF?? How are you tired?? I am the old one... So I ended up mopping the floors by myself... and he sat there like a little freaking princess!!!
I guess it was a good thing he sat there... cause while I was gone the phone rang and he took a reservation over the phone, he forgot to write down all the info, but he did get the girls name and address, I think BL is going to fuss a little because he forgot to get a credit card number, but it was his first time, so he
should be given a little slack... right??
I almost forgot... I did feed him lunch also... all I had was Tea and some lifesavers, but I also found an apple and some crackers, he didn't complain, so I think it was enough...
After lunch there was still a bit of laundry left, so I made him help me finish it... he wasn't really good at it because he has T-Rex arms, so really all he did was stand there and hold what I folded... But at least it all got done...
I think that the next time somebody leaves one of these things here I am going to go put it in a room, cover it up with a blanket, and let it sleep the night away, because I just don't have it in me to take care of things all night long while I am trying to get my job done... I can't entertain and work...
(Ok... just in case there is anybody out there that doesn't get it, none of the above is true... that thing is a stuffed critter, it didn't do any of what I said, I put it in a chair and took pictures solely for entertainment value. The only part that has any truth to it was that my co-worker did in fact leave here at work, that is it... so PLEASE, do not get excited that SB is going to come see you or something... ok... Disclaimer done)

Holy Bat Crap.. You Didn't Have To Make Up For It!!
Holy Bat Shit Superman!!!
Where oh where do I START???
How about when I walk in we only have one room left... That room is reserved and as long as there is a room key left I have to leave the vacancy sign on, so people keep coming in saying "I need a room" and I have to keep saying "I'm sorry, we are booked for the night" and then we have to argue back and forth about the DAMN SIGN... I was polite as I could possibly be about that damn sign being on, but really people when I say we are booked, we are booked, get the hell out!!! The chick that has the reservation did finally call me at about 1:30am to see if I still had a room for her... no dumb ass, I don't you made a reservation and we gave it away... anyhow... she said that she would be right here, that she had just gotten off the freeway and was just passing this one store... and I said "Oh... well then you have driven to far, you should turn around and come back this way, because you past us" and she says "Well! I Have GPS and it is telling me I still have about a mile until I have to go around a corner and then I will almost be to your hotel!" and I then politely told her that there are two of our hotels and that her reservation is at this one, and she said that she likes her GPS and it has never steered her wrong before... So I told her "Oh, Ok, Ma'am, I don't have GPS, I don't understand how that works, I will see you soon" and I smiled and said goodbye... Her GPS was sending her to the OTHER BHTEW, and with the amount of time it took her to get here, I know that she drove her snotty little ass there, found out that her reservation was for here, then had to drive her snotty little ass all the way back here... she should have listened in the first place... so she got here, and says "Can I look at the room before I pay for it?" and I said sure, and gave her the key, knowing full well she wouldn't like it just by her attitude, so she went and looked, came back and said "We won't be staying after all, its just to........................ Small.... for us" and I said thank you and you have a lovely evening... and she left... I didn't bother to tell her that we had called every single hotel in this town AND THE NEXT ONE an hour ago and there were no other rooms available... I hope she had fun with that....
So, on to our next adventure... a guy come up to the desk and tells me that he got locked out of his room and do we have a spare key, I say yes (we still use regular metal keys...lol...) so I give him one, he goes and trys it and it doesn't work! He comes back and so I grab all the others and I go with him and try all of the spare keys, NONE of them work... none!! So I have to call maintenance... but it isn't that simple... the owner shows up, and he tells me to call BL, well... she doesn't answer the phone.. and he wants the master key, I don't know where that is, we never needed it before... he gets the door open and then tells me the spare key I gave him is garbage and to "Get the Laundry done" that is what I was doing in the first place!!! GGRRRRR!!!
THEN... A lady and 2 men show up at the front desk and tell me that they lost their hotel room key and could they please have a new one, they also lost they car keys while they were on the island and do I have a phone book cause they need the number to a locksmith for tomorrow... I felt kind of bad for them :( They should have had AAA It might have helped...
We have some young adults staying in some of our rooms and renting the rooms by the week, they are from other countries, and I am beginning to wonder if their mommas taught them any manners at all before sending them here... They are loud, obnoxious, rude, and just generally not doing unto others as they should... 3 of them moved out of a room today, only when they left they didn't turn in all the keys to that room, they gave one to somebody that is staying here, and that somebody waited till about 3am when he thought that nobody was going to rent the room and then he went into that room and went to sleep, so he could have a room all to himself without paying for it... the problem with that, is that at 3:30am this morning, I rented that room to somebody and when that person walked in, there was somebody laying in his bed... The guy jumps up off the bed and says "Sorry, the room is all your" and leaves... needless to say, he didn't want to rent that room anymore and I had to give him a refund... I tried to call the BL, but she didn't answer, but she had only been asleep for a few hours, so I didn't expect her to answer...
One of the Housekeepers gave the BL flowers, they are carnations... me and SG were joking that they are coated in coke (like the drug) so that when the guests sniff then they will be super happy to stay here :)
That is about it for now... I will try to update on what happens concerning this all later...have a super day :)

OMG! The Gun/Bat guy is HERE!!
Just a quick post... The guy that called to ask if he should bring his gun is HERE... and he is kind of funny... He just came up to the desk and says to me "Hello ___, I have 3 Gideon Bibles in my room but no remote, how about we do a trade?" I wondered how he knew my name... but then he says "Oh, by the way... I brought my Gun AND my bat" OH... That is how he knows my name... we have spoken before :)
So, I found him a remote and he took that to his room... he said he will do his best to get it programmed... We made a few jokes while I was looking for a remote and batteries so evidently he is enjoying his stay so far :)

Me: So... Your haven't a problem with your nuts this morning?
SG: Yes... They don't taste right...
Me: Your nuts don't taste right?

Yes... she kept eating the nuts and raisins...lol...
I guess they can't read...
Well!
We have pets at TBHTEW... But we are not allowed to have pets here... there is a sign that says so... Since starting here we have had more spiders than I can count, flying insects, June bugs, you name the insect and we have had it (probably)... and then just recently we had that bat... he was fun... and just last night there was a HUGE, big ass moth on the front window... BTW... I was told that SG caught the bat, I don't know what she did with it, I will ask her next time I see her and let you all know... But anyhow, I took pictures of the moth on the window, from the outside so you could see the top and from the inside (I put up my hand next to him so you could see how big he was, I used my hand for size comparison... ) It was REALLY FREAKING HUGE!!!
Anyhow... I also put up a picture of the sign, cause I am thinking you probably haven't see the sign... So, here you all go... Nothing else happened at work tonight :)

Our bat is still here... and people are scared...
The bat didn't leave... you may have guessed that from the title... He (as we will refer to the bat for the purpose of this blog since I was not willing to go look under the bat's skirt to check it's gender and for the most part men are WAY more stubborn then female when poked with sticks, or that has been my experience) has taken up residence in the outer corridor of TBHTEW. This is causing some of our guests a bit of an issue.. I don't know why... all he is doing is hanging out there... He is about 8-10 feet up on the wall, just hanging there. I would guess he is about the size of the palm of my hand when all folded up, I didn't get real close and put my hand there for size comparison but from what I could see, that is good enough... So anyhow... It was decided by SG and myself that the bat had to go, since there were enough people complaining and I guess they were complaining to SG enough that maybe she was waiting for me to get here as backup, that once her paperwork was done me and her (armed with cameras of course) set out to save the day (I wish I had had my cape with me...lol...). So we get out there and first we took pictures of the bat, he has not as yet been named, if he sticks around I am sure he will be eventually. When we were done taking pictures it was decided that SG being taller would be the stick holder... yes, stick holder... the plan was to gently rub the bat with a stick and try to encourage it to fly away... good plan, right??? LMAO... NO!!! That bat didn't like our plan, that is for sure! For one thing, he didn't fly away, for two, did you know that an angry bat sounds like an angry mouse? Yes, they put their little wings out a bit and make loud angry mouse noises when you rub them with a stick... they don't like being rubbed with sticks... just so you know... and there is probably not a lot of things funnier than one girl (with her hood up to protect her identity) holding a stick hanging over a railing trying to rub a bat, while another girl hides behind her on the stairs holding the bottom of her hoodie in one hand and her camera in the other and takes pictures on the event... I know we heard some laughter while this was all going on, and everytime that bat moved even a fraction of an inch, we jumped back like it was 6 feet tall and not 3 inches...
Moral of this story... If you are ever at TBHTEW and you see a bat on the wall... don't ask me to "Make it go away" cause I will say "We will get right on that" and then leave it alone... cause it isn't going anywhere near you, it wants to be left alone just as much as you want to be left alone...

When I said to bring a Bat... I was kidding...
In a previous Post I mentioned a guy calling and asking if he should bring his gun, because of the reviews on TBHTEW, the reviews mentions bugs and spiders, I told him that we would rather he not bring his gun but that he could bring a bat if he wanted to...
Ok.. Forward to Tonight... July 12, 2009... Second Shift... Room 213...
There was a Bat in that room!!! A real live flying around BAT.. I'm serious... a Bat... We don't know how it got in there, but the guest went into their room and turned on the light and the bat started flying! I am guessing there was screaming involved... I don't know for sure, I wasn't here... The girl that was working tried to call maintenance, but nobody would answer, she tried to call every single person that she could, but nobody would answer... the bat eventually left.. I guess they left the window open... I wish I was working second shift today, that would have been FUN!!! I would have taken pictures :)

That list...
I haven't been doing that list...
There is a list... Hand written and photocopied... and it says everything that we are suppose to do each night... as we finish each item on the list we are suppose to write down the time we finished it... I don't usually do the time part... I am to busy actually cleaning things to write down what time I wiped the windows, and mopped the floors, and I am not going to stop and come write down what time I mopped the breakfast room before I go mop the game room... I will just do my job and BS my way through the list when I am done... As long as it gets done, then that is all that matters...
Have I mentioned that I love my job??

Breakfast.. Its called Express
What exactly is "Express Breakfast" anyways? I use to wonder that when I drove past these hotels... Some of them said Continental Breakfast... some said Express Breakfast... and some just said Breakfast... and I knew was Continental Breakfast was, I have stayed at enough hotels with my 'rents while we have traveled across country to know what Continental Breakfast means... So here this morning I am going to break it down for you... Because I have time and I need to stay awake for another hour... So here we go...
If the Hotel sign advertises "Continental Breakfast" then you will more than likely get Muffins, Danishes, Juice, Coffee, assorted pastries of some kind, maybe donuts... stuff like that... and there will be plenty of this stuff, the hotel you are staying at will probably have somebody watching the breakfast area in case the stock gets low so that it can be replenished... it will more than likely take good and be f
resh... Not to bad...
resh... Not to bad... If you stay at a nicer Hotel I have heard that they serve real breakfast, like hot food... I have not ever stayed at one of they hotels that I can remember... or if we did we left before those breakfasts were served... my 'rents like to get on the road early...lol... But I have heard of this kind of Breakfast happening...
Then we have "Express Breakfast" This is what we have at TBHTEW... "Express Breakfast" involves one box of 24 danishes getting taken out of the big freezer at the beggining of 3rd shift so it can defrost along with of small boc of fruit pastries... yummy...lmao... Now mind you, we have 56 room, each of them having on average 2 beds, just so you know... I also make 4 pots of coffee and then I open 2 cans of Orange juice, the OJ goes into a silver Carafe... That is an "Express Breakfast"... That is it... No more... and it is served from 6am to 9am... and if the first 5 people up eat it all... to bad for everybody else... they get nothing... because it is all frozen! I use to get out 2 boxes of the Danishes because that sounded more right to me... 24+24= 48... that would be a little better... but now the danishes are gotten out for me... I guess I was get
ting out to many... lol... ok... Let first shift explain to people why there is nothing to eat for breakfast...

Check your room before you leave... seriously!!
If you leave stuff in your room and then call us when you get home and ask us to send you your stuff... we won't... we might say we will... but we won't... sorry.. Actually.. I will say "I will leave a note for my manager, she works in the morning at 8am, and I will see if the housekeepers have found what you left and she will see what she can do" But in all actuality, you paid between $49.95 and $99.95 for your room, probably, unless it was some kind of special weekend and then they milked you for all they could... Yeah, they do that... And of that money they have to pay Me, the housekeepers, the electric, the gas, the whatever... They are NOT going to spend ANY money to send you your Books, pillows, favorite blanket, cloths, or whatever the heck you left in that room... Why didn't you check before you left??? Really? You packed all that stuff before you left your house, you probably had a list, and checked it to make sure you didn't leave anything at home... but then, you left stuff at TBHTEW??? Really... you saw how crappy it was here, and you think they are going to spend money to send you your stuff to where ever you live... LMAO... When we find things in the rooms it is like a bonus for us! I have a new sleeping bag now... and 3 new books for my kid... and one for me! And the season just started... We washed that sleeping bag in our industrial washing machine before I took it home... The kids were super happy to have it :) If you leave you pillows here, we will just wash them, change the covers into one of ours and then put them on a bed, because we are forever running out of pillows... that is just how it works.. sorry...
Sooo... Check your room before you leave... check it twice... or maybe 3 times... just to make sure.. check the drawers, check under the bed... But if you check under the bed, you may have to fight with the spiders to get your stuff back... LOL

I just took a phone call... 7-6-09
Finally something happened!
I just got a phone call from a guy asking about something... and it made me laugh... he called because he just made a reservation and then he read our reviews...lol... he should have read the reviews first... and he was calling to check if he should bring his gun with him... because our reviews talk about the bugs and spiders... I told him we would rather he not bring his gun to our hotel, but that he was welcome to bring a bat instead... LMAO... I don't think he liked my attempt at humor... I then told him that people only put up a review if they have had a bad stay, but if they have had a good stay they don't bother and that we have 56 room, and with 56 stays a night and there are 37 reviews.. take that in to consideration... and he said that was a good point... I am suppose to put things into a good light for my hotel... But really... I still tell my friends not to stay here... but I couldn't tell that guy not to... Poor guy... I hope he brings a bat :)

Can I get some excitement??
Really?? Nothing happened this weekend..NOTHING!! It was 4th of July weekend and nothing happened... Nothing at all... I thought for sure that something would happen... people would set off fireworks and get the cops called, drunken partys, something! But NO, nothing happened... Not even people staying up late swimming... Oh well, I guess I should be happy that nothing bad happened... I am, but it was also really boring :(
I think that our spider Charlie died... he was super big, and now I haven't seen him in a couple days and there is a smaller spider in his place... I think I might name the new spider Harry... or maybe Charlie II... I wonder what happened to Charlie.?.?.
Some guy noticed my necklace... its a rainbow... first person to comment on it here at work, ever.. his friend sells rainbow necklaces... it was the only interesting thing to happen this weekend so I had to mention it here...
Ok.. I'm going now.. Hopefully this following week brings something news worthy...

The week in review...
Not a lot happened really... People checked in... people messed up the hotel for no reason... bullshit stuff... why would you pour sugar all over a floor? Why would you throw pamphlets all over a hallway? Is there a reason to so this? If you are upset about the hotel, then complain, don't make more work for me, I am not the reason for your bad room, I did not come into your room and make it smell funny, I did not do whatever it is that you are upset about... so don't make more work for me! DAFIs!!
We now have super fun lists that we have to fill out every night showing what time we did each of our chores... yeah! I wiped the doors with Windex at 12:36am, and I wiped the windows with Windex at 12:57am, and I swept the lobby at 1:22am, and then mopped it at 1:25am... Oh boy... I so love filling that paper out... And how exactly do you know that we are being truthful about what time we did all that stuff? hhmmm??? I could be bullshitting me way threw it... I like to spread it out threw the night, it helps me stay awake... I do a little something, then sit down and read a little bit, then go do a little something else, then sit down a little while, then do a little something else... that is just how it works best for me... but not anymore :) ... we now have to get it all done at the beginning of the shift and then try to stay awake for the next 5-6 hours with nothing to do... because it only takes about 2-3 hours tops to get everything done... Oh well... you do what you are told to do, because that is what the job is all about... right?? That is what any job is all about...
So... For the uninformed... People that work at hotels DO have working noses... we can smell you... and when you come into the hotel to get a room and you smell like ass... you are offending us... really! I am pretty sure that you didn't drive from so far away that you couldn't grab a shower before you left your home... anywhere that you were in the USA or Canada is close enough for you to have gotten a shower before you left your home... wow... there have been some stinking people in here this last week... stinky like i wanted to offer them some soap and deodorant... Do these people know that they smell this bad? Or are they unaware? I am not going to tell them... That would be rude... But DAMN...

6-27-09... I'm not your snooze button!
When I got to work today the second shift girl tells me that a pizza place dropped off a pizza for us... Free... And that I should help myself because she has eaten all she wants and she is going home now... WTF? Are you serious? I sooo want to eat your leftovers, how do I know you washed your hands? Besides that, I can't eat pizza, I have tummy problems... Bleh...
I swear this chick can't do math to save her life... she sat at the desk for at least 20 minutes after I got here working on her end of shift paperwork (it should only take about 3-5 minutes tops) typing on the calculator, writing, erasing, punching those buttons some more... But she finally was finished and left... And when I went to do my paperwork at the end of shift... um... yeah... hers was wrong... I had to totally redo her paperwork, and she forgot to tell me about one transaction that was not listed in the usual spot, but even without that transaction her numbers were all wrong... I did find the missing transaction, fixed all her numbers, and then got the sheet to work out right, but because she messed up all her numbers and I have to add hers to mine and then that number has to match my end of the day total, it took me over 45 minutes to get it right... I was 30 minutes late leaving work because of that... I sooo want to shove some intelligence down her throat, then she won't do this to my paperwork all the time... ok... I'm done bitching about that...LOL... I love my job :)
On to the horrors of TBHTEW... lmao... it was a great night for bad things in TBHTEW... I still don't have a computer at work, so I bring my lappy with me and usually end up needing it for something every single day... so you think they would get us a computer... probably not, they know that 2 of us have lappys and another one borrows her mom's sometimes... Oh well...
One room checked out and had to call their travel agent because there was an unmentionable substance on the sheets in their room... It is unmentionable because I don't want to get in trouble if somehow people figure out who I am and where I work... so... we will not be naming the substance... lol... sorry... but if I found icky stuff on my sheets I would leave also... But I know the Maids cleaned that room, so one of them must have put this stuff on the sheets... hhmmm.... how did they not notice??? Oh well...
There was obviously somebody that was a bit upset about something, because they took a BUNCH of pamphlets and tossed them all over the hallway, I had to go clean those all up... If you have a problem, tell me, don't give me more work to do... Damn people...
There was a DAFI that stayed here and I wanted to hurt her... between me and the other people that work here we must have talked to her over a dozen times in the last week, that was before she checked in... "Hello? Its ____ again... I found your hotel on another website and on that one the rooms are only $91 for the nights that we want to stay there... that is less than what you quoted me... so can you bring your price down to match this?" No, actually we can't, this isn't your local grocery store where they do price matching!!! If you want that price then book it online... I told her that politely when she talked to me on the phone before she checked in... and she says back "Well, what if I find it even cheaper on a different website? Then I would be stuck with that original price...." and this is all said in a whiny voice... Really... if you are this much trouble BEFORE you even get to TBHTEW then I don't really want you to stay here at all!! We will rent out that room whether you are the one that gets it or not.. it was a big weekend... But she did book it... and then the REAL fun started...
There were spiders, but that is ok, because they killed those... There was a single little bug (this is an outside room... sorry, but I can't stand in your doorway and tell all the bugs to go away) in the room, so she couldn't sleep all night long and woke up with HORRIBLE bug bites on her legs... Ok... Sorry... you wanted that outside room and you were also doing things outside all day long, you may have gotten bit then and not noticed, you told me the previous day that you don't have good feeling in your legs... Not my fault... A piece of the ceiling fell on her head... there was blood on the walls? That one I know isn't true because I was in that room before her... Hello? Those are not spots of blood all over your wall, that is called a design pattern on wallpaper... The stupidity baffles me... And then they had a wake up call... So I called at the right time, I was called back 5 minutes later... "Can you please change my wake up call to 45 minutes from now? I didn't sleep long enough so I want to rest a little more..." Ok... sure... NOW I AM A DAMN SNOOZE BUTTON!!!! I am so glad that she is leaving soon... I think later today, while I am home sleeping she will be leaving with her friends... YAAAAAA
The longer I work here, them more I do not ever want to stay in a hotel... And if I do.. I am soooo not going to harass the 3rd shift person, cause they don't want to here from you... not at all... You want towels, ok, you want cups, fine... but you want to tell me every single little thing that is wrong with that room, after I have told you there is nothing I can do about until the manager gets here at 8am, I don't really want to hear from you... sorry... but I don't ... if you are lonely, buy a dog! But I really don't want to stay at any hotels EVER... because I now know how things are done... eeewwww...
That is all I got for today... Have a pleasant, bug-free weekend...

Its been a hot minute... The week prior to 6-26-09
So this is for all the days that I have worked since I last posted... I didn't work the 18 - 21... so that takes care of the fun filled weekend days...lol.. so all you get is the boring weekdays on this one... Sorry... But here we go... Cause it was actually kind of interesting...
In the last week or so I have had:
- Teenagers spray silly string in my pool, so I threatened to throw one in if he didn't stop... he stopped..
- A guy REEKING of weed came up to the front desk and asked if there was anywhere that would delivery him a pizza at 2am... Um.. no.. sorry...
- We now have to use a marker to mark all bills over $10, because during Bike Week $800 in fake bills were passed at a different hotel
- Some guy says that he watched a spider make a web all night long, and then he caught it in the morning and put it in a cup of apple juice... WHY?? you don't know how to squish a spider? And why catch it? Do you think I want it? WTF... DAFI...
- 3 guys hit on me... I wonder if this new haircut will have that effect on females... I need to go out...
- I figured out that one of my second shift girls doesn't do anything... ever... except check people in... we are suppose to do other things... Oh yeah.. she will SAY she has done stuff.. but she hasn't... There was a cigarette butt on the floor of the bathroom when I left one day... when I came back, it was still there, right behind the door... but she signed off on the list that she swept and mopped that bathroom... Ummm... NOPE! She checked in 10 people on her 8 hour shift and did nothing else... I checked in 10 people on my 8 hour shift and still managed to do 5 loads of laundry, sweep and mop the 3 rooms and lobby, Windex the windows and doors, do all the breakfast stuff... Ya... that was some other things that I did, but the point is, we both checked in the same amount of people... but she did NOTHING else... that means that I have to do everything else... That pisses me off...
- There are never enough towels, pillows, or blankets in this hotel... EVER... Really... I have like 20 people come and ask me for towels all in one night, 2 people that needed pillows, 4 people wanted blankets, and I don't know how many wanted ice buckets and cups...
- I had 4 teenagers laying around my hallway till about 6am... I am guessing they wouldn't be aloud to talk if they were in the room with the adults... so out in the hall to annoy me they went...
- People do not believe in keeping there kids in the room with them.. there were 7 young teens out by the pool till about 4am... where were the parents? Did they even know where the kids were? Did they care?
- Charlie is doing well and getting big eating all the mosquitoes that are on the outside of the building...
I think that is it for now.. I have a note somewhere so I don't forget stuff... but I can't find the note... so I might add more later.. we will see...
Have a Great, spiderless day!
In the last week or so I have had:
- Teenagers spray silly string in my pool, so I threatened to throw one in if he didn't stop... he stopped..
- A guy REEKING of weed came up to the front desk and asked if there was anywhere that would delivery him a pizza at 2am... Um.. no.. sorry...
- We now have to use a marker to mark all bills over $10, because during Bike Week $800 in fake bills were passed at a different hotel

6-13-09... I got time... How did THAT happen???
Well OK... Weirdness in TBHTEW... BL just walked in and made a bed on the lowest shelf in the laundry room... About 30 minutes ago... I was in the laundry room, it is actually a laundry/housekeepers/food storage room, it is also where I go to put the danishes on the tray for breakfast and open the large cans of juice so I can pour them into the juice containers... So anyhow... I was in there getting the breakfast stuff set up and my front office door opens, that isn't suppose to happen at 5:30am... and in walks BL... and she says "I'm here to get some piece and quiet" WHAT??? Ok... I don't care what she does as long as she stays out of my way, I had breakfast to get put out and coffee to make... So she then asks me where the cot was... and I told her that I had to put it in a room last night because one of the pullout couches is broken... oh no... so she starts to grab blankets and makes a bed on the bottom shelf of the linen storage shelfs... lol... ok... whatever works for her... she even brought and alarm clock... Ok... If that is what you have to do to sleep so I can go home when it is time, then so be it :)
Ok... Last night all the rooms were rented out despite the fact that last weekend 3 motorcycles were stolen from our parking lot and the local newspaper reported it and said that we do not have surveillance, the night before we only ended up not selling 3 rooms... so I guess that newspaper article didn't do much after all... I told them not to stress about it...
I got most of the laundry done last night here at work.. I now hate doing laundry at my house... I use to love laundry... not so much now...
The "Cute" bikers come in about 3am again tonight... they were once again polite, but they did the lingering stare.. and paused to say hello... I am glad that people only stay here for a night or two... I hate having to explain to "Cute" guys that they are playing to the wrong crowd, it hurts their feeling and then they act grouchy... So since they are only staying for a day or two I don't say anything.. go ahead and flirt... I know that you are only flirting because you have been drinking...lol...
It was very quiet this evening... I expected it to be louder... the Bikers have been partying every night that they stayed here, except last night..
Why is it that nobody can understand that when the vacancy sign is turned off, that means we do not have vacancies???
3 guys came in with a young boy about 1:30am... I didn't have a room for them so they left... as they left I noticed the heavy smell of Weed... wow... know I think I know why the kid was scarfing the pringles..
Well... nothing else good happened... I don't think I even had swimmers tonight :)

6-12-09... The Tweeker, swimmers, and the BEST 3rd shifter EVER
It was an interesting night... It is still Bike Week... who ever came up with this name needs a new job or more education... because it has been going on for more than a week... really! Not that I am complaining, it is keeping me entertained :)
When i got to work there were still some rooms available so that was good, that ment I would have something to do besides clean... I love that... However... that also ment that I would have to deal with DAFI people that do not understand that I am given a "room rate" that is the standard rate that I have to charge... Now, the later in the night that it is I can drop that rate a little, but if you act like a big ol' dick to me, I won't, but if you are nice to me, then I will... this is where your "Did your Momma teach you any manners" skills come in to play... I can NOT drop that rate to $30 when the rate was originally $59.95... But if you have 7 people and I have a room that has 4 beds in it that is going for $109.95 and you have shown up at 2am... well.. I can drop that rate to $89.95... not to bad... and after tax it is only just over $100... that BTW works out to about $14 per person... not to bad of you are polite and use your people skills... but if you are a dick then I won't drop the rate, and you will pay that extra $20... that really isn't to much to pay between 7 people... but $20 is $20 people... that is a case and a half of beer if you are getting the cheap stuff... Soooo... Lets all keep this in mind the next time you roll into town and are looking for a hotel... shall we??? Because that 3rd shift person COULD just tell you that they are full and send you on your way to go to the expensive hotel where you can hope to find something that will cost less than $150 a night... hhhmmm...
ok.. next :)
I have a stack of Pepsi's behind my front desk... YES you can have one.. as a matter of fact, you can have one for each and every person that is staying in your room... just ask... please... you don't have to call me Darling, Huny, Sweety, or anything else! Wow... did you all talk to that guy that was here the other night?? The infamos "Sugarballs"? Maybe I shouldn't have been so nice to him... I think I should go add him to the list of players in my hotel.. The new nickname for anybody that has a big enough set to continually call me terms of endearment is now "Sugarballs"... No... I will not be calling them that to their face, I like my job to much, but I will be thinking it in my head, and I will be smiling :)
Yes... By all means Swim... I can't see you in that pool... and as long as you are not loud and obnoxious and dissturbing to the other guests I will not have to ask you to get out... however... don't drowned... I can't swim that well. BUT... If you ask me if you can swim.. I am going to make you say "You are the best 3rd shift worker EVER" before I tell you that you can swim... and then I will also tell you not to be loud, obnoxious, and don't dissturbe the other guests, because then I will have to make you get out..
Why would you come in here and give me a credit card that doesn't work? Did you REALLY not know? Or where you just hoping it would work?? lol... yeah.. you didn't know.. but you will pay cash and call the card company in the morning, you are just tired right now and you want to get into a room... Ok... whatever :)
The infomercial of the night was about Free Money... who doesn't want free money?? All you have to do is buy this Book!!! And the guy that you are buying it from isn't making ONE SINGLE PENNY!!! Yeah... he is just making lots of dollars... I am sure!!! That book will tell you have to find all kinds of free money online.. hhmmm... sign me up... I want free money! send me that book... but wait... if you have to pay for the book, that means it isn't really free... right??? I feel like this isn't right... ? .... hhmmm... I will have to think about this one... And yes.. I am still laughing about "You'll love my nuts!"
My night was filled with interesting people, I had:
Tweeker guy... he had 2 teenage boys with him, they all went swimming, then his boys went to bed and he wandered about the hotel for the rest of the evening... acting like he was on drugs... hence the name "Tweeker" guy
Then we had the 7 bikers that came in.. 6 guys and 1 lady.. Very polite... All of them... They got a room that had 4 beds, and the room was actually 2 rooms stuck together so she got to have her own room, she was very greatful, she said they all snore..lol.. there was 1 bed in a separate room and 3 bed in the other room... she was laughing at them when they brought their stuff in...
A group of older teens and young twentys that were going to Cedar point the following day... they wanted to know if they were still allowed to have the Pepsi cans, because they had already bought there tickets online so they didn't need them for the discount.. I told them they could have them if they told me I was the best 3rd shift worker ever... they did... so I gave them enough pepsi for each of them... after that every time one of them walked past, they told me I was the best 3rd shift worker ever :) I swear they were moving in here, because they make like 5 trips out to the vehicle to get stuff to bring in...
There is a couple of "Cute" bikers staying at the hotel... the other 2 girls that work here told me about them... and when they did I wondered about the gender of these bikers... Well... I finally saw them... about 3am these 2 cute little guys come wondering in... just cute as a bug they were... I would guess they might about about 22 -25 years old... Dressed in the classic Bad Boy attire, bandanas on their heads, wearing leather, tanned, all that kind of stuff... I just KNOW this is who the girls were talking about... They paused for a moment by the front desk and said "Hello, we are going to bed now, have a lovely evening"... What??? Ok.. Polite, Clean, Good looking, Cute as a Bug, and they did not bring any girls back with them... hhmmm... Ok... I'm going to leave this one alone.. maybe... cause they kind of set my alarm off... just a little... LOL... Then again.. it was only Friday night... maybe they were just weighting their options for the weekend.. because we must not forget, it is Bike Week (or Bike Week and a half bordering on 2 weeks)
There was a guy that stayed at TBHTEW since Wednesday, I think he was checking out today. He was very friendly, he has 2 daughters that are my age, and he stops and days Hello every morning when he gets coffee. He was in the Canadian Navy for some time (I think it was called something else, but I don't remember) and then he worked for a car making company, but he retired a few years back... he was talkative...but nice, so that is ok :)
Charlie is still out there having a great time with all the flyers:) I think he may end up getting so big that he can't fit in his hidey hole if he keeps eating like he does... I guess we will see ;p
I believe that may be all for today... not like that isn't enough I think this may be the longest one yet.. but there were a few charactures in last night... wow...
Latter folks...
ps... spell check isn't working today for some reason... so I may have to come back later and spell check this thing.. I hope it isn't to bad...lol

Thursday 6-11-09... Nothing... nothing at all
Nothing happened tonight... nothing at all.. I checked in 2 people.. Wow... I love my job... lol.. I actually do.. but tonight was boring as all get out!
There wasn't any new infomercials... I listened to old Erkal reruns...
I had yogurt, a nectarine and crackers for lunch.
I know... we can talk about the necessities for working 3rd shift!! maybe I should look for some pictures... I will have to come back later and add the pictures... it just isn't working right now...
So... The necessities for working 3rd shift are as followes...
-Coffee
-Monster energy drinks
-Sugar Free Rockstar energy drinks
-McDonalds sweet tea
-anything with caffeine
-dark curtains for your bedroom
-somebody to talk to on your way home so you don't fall asleep
-a high tolerance for B.S.
-a low sense of smell because of all the drunk people
I may add to this list at a later date... LMAO
