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 :)

Laters people

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...
