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??

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...

On your day off...

Do you ever wonder what is happening at your place of employment on your day off???


























Yeah... Me neither... ROTFLMAO....

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 :)

Only in TBHTEW would you hear this conversation:

SG: Aren't nuts suppose to be crunchy?

ME while I am in the laundry room : Yes

SG: I think there is something wrong with my Nuts

Me still in laundry room: What is wrong with your nuts?

SG: They aren't salty either

Me still in L room: Your Nuts aren't salty???

SG: My nuts aren't crunchy or salty...

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?

SG: No... Come here and taste my nuts... Tell me if they are suppose to taste like this...

Me: But I don't want to taste your nuts..

SG: My raisins seam ok... nice and juicy and sweet...

Me: Well... that is good...

Me: (I took a bite of a nut) Ewww... your right... these nuts are not salty at all, and they are stale... your nuts are stale and nasty! (spit-spit-spit)

SG: I KNEW there was something wrong with my nuts...

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 fresh... 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 getting out to many... lol... ok... Let first shift explain to people why there is nothing to eat for breakfast...

It just keeps getting better and better... doesn't it???

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...
