So I had a talk with the guy in charge last night. This was the first time anyone there asked me about my site. This is the first time “they” even admitted to coming to my site. I was simply asked not to write about the the hotel while I was at work. No threats. If I want to at home well that ok. The direct quote out of the horses mouth was “it’s a free country.”

Which I guess I didn’t know that. Man it’s a free country. Well that’s cool. Here all this time I thought I had been breaking the law or something. Well now that this free country thing has been brought to my attention it’s a whole new ball game.

Now that I have the sarcasm out of the way, I can tell you how I really feel. This is all that “they” ever had to do. All I wanted was some communication. Sure I think it slightly illogical to say don’t write bad shit while at work, but if I’m at home well then it’s ok. All “they” had to do was talk to me. Talk to me in a civil and polite manner. I will even honor the guys request.

This guy has some points with me now. His approval rating among angry sarcastic Hotelblues.com webmasters is sitting at about 71.8% right now. That’s more than any other GM has got. The fact he was talking openly about visiting my site gets him points. Man no one before ever would admit they ever looked at my site. He asked me if I have issues to talk to him before I write about it. The man gets a few more points. This could be love.

So everything is honky dory right? Well not really. The old “trust no one” X-Files saying is still burnt in my brain. I still plan to take advantage of this “free country” thing he mentioned. I don’t think “they” would fire me again for the website. No “they” will think up something new. If it comes to that. I for one hope it doesn’t have to come to that. Time will tell, it always does.

The annual employee Christmas party is tonight, except “they” are not calling it a Christmas party. It’s a employee appreciation party. Also there will be no booze at this party. Which I think this alone will make the turn out low. I don’t know why it isn’t called the employee Christmas party?

I have a new Poll going on over there on the right under the quick links box. It’s a fill in the blank kind of deal. It’s self explanatory so go and vote. If you don’t know what to pick choose the last choice.

After the lame party I’m going to meet Sherry at the Bop.

Ahem…here is Mr. Izer with a brief statement on the goings on here at the website and the hotel(and because he whined and bitched for me to add a link to his bit he wrote a few years ago, here is “FUCK THEM ALL“):

I think I don’t need to say anything else.

Heck here’s something I wasn’t expecting. A message in the comments section of the bit I wrote called What To Do? Here is what “Deep Throat” had to tell me:

Subject:Watch Out!
I read your site. I think what you say is interesting. I have read enough to know you like the X-Files. Hence my name. I’ve registered with your comment system.

I’m here to tell you to watch out. I’m with the company that is managing your hotel. And “they” don’t like it. So consider this a warning. You seem to be a smart guy. Find a new job. Before you become unemployed again or worse.

And I know how to use spell check. I saw that you took down the article you wrote about the one dumb manager at the hotel. Take this any way you want. I’m sure you will flame me. Go ahead and cut your own throat.

I’m from Texas and am neither a steer or a queer.

Part of me thinks this is just some asshole trying to get me going. Part of me thinks that maybe, just maybe this is someone who is with the people managing the hotel.

But this doesn’t scare me. If it is someone from the people managing the hotel that’s fine. It just shows that maybe these management types don’t like their employees to have a mind of their own. And god forbid that maybe one of the peons are smart. Maybe smarter than the so called managers.

I’m not going to flame you. Fuck I could care less who reads this shit I write. I don’t think all the people from Texas are steers and queers. Most of them. Heh. When is your pathetic site going to be back up? What a beautiful site it was. I miss it.

So I mentioned the trolls a few posts ago. I wanted to put in writing some of my tenets. Big word that one, did I lose anyone? Here are my rules:

Rule One No names are mentioned. No titles are mentioned if names are dropped. I never drop names of people I’m refering to, that they may take offense to.

Rule Two No brand names are mentioned. That makes it to easy to nail down where this site is from. Sure I mention names when It’s quotes from the Daily News.

Rule Three No geographic locations are referred to. Sure I talk about places like the Safe House in Milwaukee and Lan Planet in Rockford. But that makes a wide search radius.

Here is the part were I mention free speech and opinion. Remember what country your in. And yeah in return I know the words libel and slander. There’s no need to mention the other dirty word. Lawyers. But you have to remember I got fired before for this site. I’ve talked to lawyers. I’ve talked to the ACLU even. So that’s that. That bridge will be burnt when I come to it.

I want out of the hotel biz. I do. I like the job. But the people are not the same. The atmosphere has changed. The phrase “there’s something rotten in the state of Denmark” comes to mind. So what do you do? Hire me. You hire me as your full time web site man and I leave you alone. I like this web stuff. I’ve even got fairly good at it for no training.

My first gig (other than this site) is coming up. I’m doing the local libraries site in a few weeks. I’m jazzed about that. I’d love to make this hobby a paying job.

Well I’m out of steam. The Hotelblues Manifesto: The Short Form. Heh. Comment people. I want to hear what you think.

I love getting jerked off. Not to many people know that about me. And let me say hello to all my corporate fucks who are trolling the site. Hi you corporate fucks! Now were was I? That’s right I was getting jerked off.

And when I say I got jerked off I’m not talking about what some of you may be thinking. This is a family oriented site you sick bastards. What I’m talking about is being told to do something that will have no effect. And the fact that the people who tell you to do it know in advance it will have no effect. That’s getting jerked off.

This all relates to the computer problem at the hotel. You see the old Unix based system we have thinks it’s still February 1st. Thank god I didn’t work when it happened. Because I know how the corporate types think. Someone has to be held accountable for this. Someone has to be disciplined or fired because of this.

I was told to call support. Now I have heard that support ain’t supporting us no more. I called and was told what I expected. Sorry we can’t help you. Which brings me back to getting jerked off. What can you do?
