You know the funny thing about truth? It’s all a matter of your point of view. What I consider the truth is all a matter of my point of view. The same thing I think is the truth could be considered a lie coming from someone else’s point of view. The only reason I bring this up is because of some events going on at the hotel. I hear lots of things from lots of people. From my point of view none of what I hear is even close to the truth.

Mike the guy who has been doing the audit with me has quit. So the mad dash to find and train a new auditor has started. Now according to my truth I’m the only one left who can train someone to do the night audit. I have to say that I’m going to miss Mike. Mike was/is a good guy. He has gone on to sunny California to find some new truths.

So I’m given a new audit trainee. A very smart and I should say very artistic person. And the whole artistic thing is a good quality as far as I’m concerned. Just seeing some young people who are interested in art makes me want to get going again on the whole artistic front.

As the usual for this kind of post I have strayed from the point. The point being trust no one. I hate to invoke a X-Files mantra, but that’s the only way to explain the way this hotel works. Take no ones word for granted. Everyone has an agenda. Even me. I will lie and spin the truth willingly for my own purposes.

Which may make you wonder what my agenda is? And like a great Bond villian I will tell you. Everything I do is to further chaos at the hotel. If I can cause enough trouble for the lying backstabbing management then I’m a happy man. If I can expose these frauds then I’m a happy man. If I can get even one or two other employees to think like I do then I’m a happy man. I guess my ultimate goal is to stick it to “them” as much as I can. And that makes me a happy man.

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.

Bob the Builder has a bastard child. I was as shocked as the next person. The idea that the children’s cartoon star would do something like this. Here are some shocking side by side pics that show Bob the Builder and his bastard child Bobo:

Of course if this isn’t a case of a bastard child, then it most likely means that the hotel I work at is using copyrighted material for it’s own use.

You ever hear those people talk (you know the ones were you work) who say they love their job. Well I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon. I don’t want to left out any more when I talk to these corporate shills. But me being me, I do have one minor variation to this love of the job.

Ok so I love my job. I love the work I do. It’s the people I hate. And when I say the people, I mean all the people. The customers and the people I work with, I hate them all. I hate the people on the phone. I hate them be it phone reservations or just some lazy fuck calling for bus information.

So can I be one of those annoying I love my job people? No I didn’t think so. Sometimes I just want to strangle those lying empty pathetic bastards.

Because I feel that those people who say they love their jobs are liars. Sure maybe sometimes I like my job. Maybe sometimes I may even love my job. Sometimes I even enjoy doing my job. But not all the damn time.

Liars are bad people and lets not forget that. If a guy tells me they are going to order shirts for the front desk, then they better get their bald ass in gear and order the damn shirts.

But then I’m just saying this as I think out loud.

Well I went looking for a special link because the front desk has a meeting tomorrow with the pointy haired bosses. Business Buzzword Bingo! is what I found. I’m eager to see if the guy has a vocabulary worthy of this game taken from Dilbert.

Ramada to be improved is an article over at the Beloit Daily News. Here is a picture of the new owner and a selected bit from the article for those of you too lazy to read the full thing:

“I’ve associated with friends and family’s hotels, but this is my first on my own,” Noor Tejany said. “I wanted to pick a hotel I would be proud of in the future. Once my plan is completed, I’ll be proud of this hotel.”

Well I wish him luck. Because he’s going to need it.

Did you know that there are 3 r’s and 4 f’s? And I’m not shitting you here. Fuck, finding out about these kinds of things blows my mind. For that matter the fact that someone has the motto “Clean is green” kind of blows my mind all over again. Here are the f’s and r’s for those of you that may have an intrest in this kind of shit:

The Three R’s
• Real
• Responsive
• Responsible

The Four F’s
• Fair
• Friendly
• Fun
• Firm

I only bring this up because it’s something I just found out about today. And I’m really big on learning new things.
