Ok here is another post about Dark Age of Camelot. I forgot to mention that I hit level 23 the other day. It took forever. I hit 22 somewhere between the months of February and May. Of course if you don’t play you don’t gain experience. I’m well on my way to level 24. I’ve already hit the half point between levels 23 and 24. I would like to think I can hit it in the next two nights.

On to the hotel front. There has been a lack of news relating to the hotel. This is of course done on purpose. Of course on the one hand it just comes down to the fact there hasn’t been any thing to talk about. Also I have yet to find out how the new beast thinks or reacts.

Anyway as long as I’m playing Dark Age of Camelot I have nothing bad to say about these new guys. That is of course as long as I don’t get any flack about playing it. Dark Age of Camelot equals high morale for me. Of course the beast won’t see this way I bet. I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it.

So I was playing it again. I’m having a lot more fun this time around with Dark Age of Camelot. Yesterday night I hit level 24. Tonight I helped out a guild mate named Gagger with an epic quest of his. A level 50 Wizard named Doombinger tagged a long to give us a hand. It was easy with the fire power we had. After the deed was done Doombinger gave us each a level 45 ring called the symbol of loyalty. Check it’s stats in the second screen shot.

The last shot shows what my current stats are. It also show one of the games monsters called a Salisbury Giant. I’m going to miss the game on my four days off.

North Boone wins round 1 another Beloit Daily News article, this time dealing with the Sobos first loss. Here is a bit I have a bone to pick with the Daily News:

South Beloit’s SoBos figured this was the year they could end a 13-year string of losses to the Vikings.

Back in 1990 we had a winning season. We even made to the first round of playoffs. We lost. But hey it was a winning season. We also beat North Boone for a come from behind win. I still have the WZOK School of the Week dog tags to prove it. So fuck the Beloit Daily News.

Jesus I hate my job. It’s the people you know. I said this before, even recently. But I can’t stress how much I hate the people at the hotel. And yeah it’s my job to see the people and interact with them. But god almighty I hate it. If I could only be left alone to do my job I would be so happy.

And it’s the little things that get me thinking like this. This fucking chucklehead comes in this morning. He wants a room. He says he wants it for one day. So I inform him that if he checks in now he has to be out at noon. It’s the way it is. It’s the way it has always been.

But this asshole has to try to play games. He says to me that the manager had let him do it before. He can’t even get the managers name right. So I tell him if he doesn’t like it he can check in when the manager is here. He asks if she comes in this morning. I tell him no she doesn’t.

So then the guy leaves. He goes out to the his car and sits for a minute or two and comes back in. Ok now he wants the room. So I reiterate that check out is at noon. And I also charge the asshole full rate for his little stay.

That’s terrible isn’t it? But you know what? That’s the way it is. It’s my hotel when I’m there. I don’t care who or what has told some customer that the rules are different for them. Not on my shift. I do follow some rules.

And for the record I treat everyone like this. I don’t give a shit if you the customer thinks they are important. I don’t care if you own a business or have a lot of money. I don’t care who it is you think you know at the hotel. All that doesn’t mean a thing to me. I treat others as they treat me.

I also want to say this is all dedicated to the schmuck in 254.

It was in December when Betty died that my Grandma found out she had cancer. In less than a year the cancer did it’s job. My Grandma died on the 28th of this month.

There is so much I could say. But that is something I’m going to keep to myself. This is a picture of her bellow. This is how I will always remember her.

The visitation is tomorrow some time and the funeral is on Wednesday in the morning.

Well I some action in the GuestBook the last couple of days. It’s kind of funny because it something everyone has done. I’m not talking about signing the GuestBook. I’m talking about signing it as two different people just to pimp two different websites. Either that it’s two guys using the same computer and internet service provider. Both Chuck and Mark have the same ip address. Any way here is what they had to say:

Name: Mark
Comments:

I visited your site and wanted to comment on how visually appealing it is. Nice work

When you have time please visit my site.

and

Name: Chuck
Comments:

I really enjoyed what I read. Don’t change a thing. Please visit my site when you get a chance.

Now I’m not trying to complain or anything. It’s just there is no need to beat around the bush with me. So frick and frack here have some websites.

Mark has UMoveFree.com a site that offers that they are “…committed to helping you and your family find the best possible place to live and save you time and money.” This guy is operating out of Texas, so it makes me wonder if the Dude sent him my way.

Chuck’s site Orlando Hotels Motels & Resorts is something that would on the surface seem related to my humble site. Chuck says he enjoyed what he read. But I wonder if he really read anything. The last This And That was a pretty harsh look on how I feel about hotel guests. Chuck’s site is trying to be helpful to possible hotel guests. That is just something I don’t do.

Either way it was good to have the two of you and thanks for the nice comments about my site.

South Beloit Ramada improvements begin is an Rockford Register Star Online article from the 6th of this month I missed when it first appeared. Here is a couple bits worth pointing out:

…a new roof was added to one of the wings.

and

…the hotel’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system has been repaired.

I am of course not saying the Rockford Register Star is lying. The roof thing I could be wrong about. But I find it odd that last night I’m told to be expecting complaints because the ac was on the fritz again. I’m just saying their fact checking skills are a little weak. Take it how you will.
