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

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

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

I got another GuestBook entry from Mr. Lee (aka Edris, SoboGuy). The young man has got himself a job. So I welcome him back to the working week. Here is what he had to say:

hehe, hey Turk, well the job hunt has ended finally, i got a job at a tire store, the one near a certain octorda etailda on ilwaukeema oadra (i just felt like writin pig latin today for an odd reason) anyways they actually hired me without experience, and well needless to say i think i like the job, i didnt get bored once today. on another note, give me a call sometime to tell me what ya found out about the game i had questions about. um if anything ill talk to ya on aim or some othertime when i can get down to the hotel without the little fucker followin me around. well i gotta go so talk to ya later

Well I finally got my comments thing going. It’s a feature I think is pretty neat. It lets anyone comment on the news posts, hence the name comments. It is a add on to the Coranto news script done by a guy named Angst. Zcomment is what its called. I got it setup almost the way I want. If you register for a account (and you don’t have to) some of the text appears out of wack. Otherwise it’s good to go.

Well try it out. I dare you. In fact I double dare you. Here is a cool link that I think some of you may find funny. The rest of you may be offended. Try the Magic Hate Ball. It’s self explanatory I think. Well that’s it. Go and post a comment.

Well Microsoft has finally released IE6. I have gone back to my former love, after a brief affair with Opera. Opera is fine. It’s a wonderful browser. I just decided to go back to IE’s loving embrace. One of the reasons I went to Opera was because it ran really well on the old computer. It is a quick browser. But with the new pc I can afford to go back to IE. This is the final release so hopefully it is bug free. You can grab it here.

Well I’ve kept quiet the whole four days off. Nothing happened that really needed me to comment on. Oh sure I could have told you how I was playing f’ing computer games twenty four seven. But I didn’t want to put anyone to sleep.

So you have been warned! Here are some of the PC Games I’ve been playing:

• Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura-This one is a rpg. A rpg set in a fantasy world which just had an industrial revolution.
• Max Payne-What can I say? If you got the hardware go for it. A undercover cop framed by the mob killed his wife shoot ’em up.
• MechCommander 2-Far better than the first one a few years back. Totally 3d and lots of fun.

Thats about all I did on my four days off. Me and Troy did go see Jay And Silent Bob Strikes Back again. I’m not really to sure how long I will be working again. I think it could be a while.

Heck I don’t even remember how I stumbled across the site. I just know that it’s there. Sobo Pride is the name of the site. This is the kind of link that really doesn’t apply unless you are a Sobo. For the uninitiated a Sobo is someone who goes or went to the South Beloit High School. Now if you have yet to figure it out, I’m a Sobo.

I graduated from South Beloit way back in 1991. And for whatever reason I have an undying loyalty to the place. I played football (bench warmer) and participated in the yearbook. I even cut the tip of my thumb off for the yearbook. Long story. So those of you that are Sobo’s (and I know a few of you hang out here) go check this young lads site out.

It’s also worth mentioning that the football team is 1-1. They had a great opening. The second game was neck in neck. So I hope they keep it up. This reminds me that I got to go and say hi to Mr. Peterson. I overdue for a trip down to the school.

Well I’m almost at the end of my second night out of who knows how many days in a row. This time I have no relief insight. This time I have no relief. And I’m not as excited about working another long stretch. Because the big check is coming on the sixth. That’s when I will be going to pick up my GeForce3.

I have also been signing up for every pc game beta I can find. So far I have filled out applications for Neocron, Project Entropia, Earth And Beyond, Jumpgate, EVE:The Second Genesis, Atriarch. Now that I have the hardware to play these games I just can’t wait.

I heard that the cowboy’s that are going to buy the hotel will finalize their deal on the fourth. So I just want to state for the record that if for whatever reason we don’t get paid on the sixth, that I’m not coming in. The fucking cowboy’s can kiss my ass. The old owners can kiss my ass. Fuck the hotel management can kiss my ass.

Sorry I got worked up. It’s just that I heard that our old owners haven’t been paying bills. So I find it feasible that they would stiff us on their last check they owe us. Will see.
