    You know how normal people with jobs get vacations? Well here is the fucked up thing at the hotel. I get paid vacation, two weeks since I’ve been there forever. Sounds great right? Well here is the fucked up part. I can’t take my vacation because they have no one to cover my time off. This is what the Sheriff told me the other day.

    Which really sucks. Because right about now I could use two weeks off. It’s getting to the point that instead of two weeks off it’s going to be two weeks notice. I just think I’ve had it up to here with the retards at work. The Sheriff needs to start acting like a fucking front desk manager. No one to cover a shift? Well I got news for you Skippy it’s your job to cover that shit. Be it first, second, or third shifts.

    What the fuck would the Sheriff do if I quit? Sure the majority of the time I talk about quitting I’m full of shit. But in this hypothetical situation what would he do? I’m under the impression he’s not all that happy to be a working manager. I think he may be another one of those people who think a manager should sit in their office all day. It’s something I’ve given name to. It’s called being a Munson. And honestly that’s the worst thing that you can be.

    Front desk manager my ass. We haven’t had a real front desk manager for years. The one guy they wouldn’t actually give the title and position to came really damn close. But he got burnt out on their bullshit and left. Which is really to bad. Because now we deal with the likes of the Sheriff and his ilk. Brethren that just can’t be done away with. I swear these fuckers grow out of the fucking woodwork. All seemingly having ties to one another.

    Want an example of what I’m talking about? The schedules. The Sheriff has a damn time getting this thing out on time. I could quote some law about having it out a certain number of days beforehand. But what does it matter. Here’s the little note on the current schedule:

    If the numbers don’t improve, I may ask you to leave a few hours early or come in a few hours late as I cover those hours.

    Excuse for being all confused by this, but isn’t this the opposite of the purpose of a schedule. I work what I’m scheduled. No more no less. If the Sheriff want’s me to leave early or come in late schedule it that way. To me it’s the whole reason there is a schedule. So I know when to come in and when to leave. Fuck this guess work bullshit. I would recommend the desks clerks stick to their scheduled time. Lazy fucking management is what this is.

    I have an idea how about tonight I come in two weeks late? Shit this may just be a good idea yet.

    Cake/Pie WTF? 12:30 am-

    This post is about a half eaten piece of cake/pie (whatever the fuck it was). Since I can’t hear this shit from the individual (yes you) I figure they can find out stuff from other sources as well. Of course it is my site so it’s just as good as coming from me personally.

    I was told yesterday when I came in (by the only good front desk employee we have) that I was accused of throwing away some kind of baked food the night before. I’m told that the person bitched for a rather long time about me and this baked good I supposedly had done away with.

    So for the record here is what really happened. I came in to work like any other night. I had my twelve pack of Diet Mountain Dew with me as I always do. The twelve pack is placed in the fridge in the back of the front desk where I always put it. Now anytime I find shit left in this fridge I take it out of the fridge and place it on top of the fridge.

    I do not clean up after lazy front desk clerks. So any shit I find left behind I leave it where I find it. For example plates of food that certain individuals are supposed to take back to the kitchen after they eat or in this case a fucking half eaten piece of god damn cake or fucking pie or whatever the fuck it was.

    That fridge back there is not yours. It’s not mine for that matter. If you leave shit in it your just asking for it to go and vanish. It’s rather inconsiderate to think that just because your fucking cake/pie is in the fridge I’m not going to put my pop in there. I like my pop cold. Pop goes in the fridge. It’s very simple. You see me come in every fucking night with the twelve pack?

    So I expect an apology. Because the last I saw this piece of cake/pie it was sitting on top of the fridge. So the accusation that I threw it away is false. Not that I really give two shits if some front desk clerk says. I don’t give two flying fuck if the person apologizes either. This incident is just further proof just how little the Sheriff is really doing to change the place.

    The Recap 12:27 am-

    It’s been a long time since I wrote about the hotel. I’ve only briefly mentioned that there is a new front desk manager. I wanted to take the time to bring everyone up to speed on what’s going on. Because I’m thinking really hard about what my future holds at the hotel. And to be honest I want out of the place more than I ever have.

    So let’s start with this front desk manager. Like his predecessors this guy never felt obligated to meet his employees. It was four or five days until I even met the guy. Which I have never understood about these people that come in and don’t make an effort to meet their employees. Then the guy schedules a mandatory meeting on payday. At the time we actually get the checks. So right off the bat this guy is going out of his way to inadvertently rub me the wrong way. These items I have mentioned before and I just wanted do the recap.

    On the day of the meeting I go in a hour early. Because I was either going to get my check then or I would come back in a hour and get my check and not come back to the meeting this guy scheduled. Needless to say I got my check. I also introduced myself to the guy. Because it was obvious that he didn’t give a shit to meet me. I had the opportunity to tell the guy some of the things I felt were wrong with the front desk. The exact thing I said to him was that the front desk was like a western town without a sheriff. It was in chaos and everyone did what they wanted because there was no law there. I told him that it was my opinion that he had to step up and make sure they all understood he was the new “sheriff” in town.

    And to my surprise the guy actually used this metaphor in his meeting. He mentioned to the front desk that he was the new sheriff in town and that his word was law. I thought it was neat little gesture on his part. But it also meant (to me) that he more or less promised that he would do the job the correct way. That this chaos that had befallen the front desk would be put to an end.

    Here it two months later and what has changed? Nothing has changed. The new sheriff in town isn’t worth the tin in his badge. Things are still wrong as chaotically as before this guy came into the picture. The front desk clerks do what they want. There is no consistency in what they do. Which is funny because the guy went on in great lengths about how the front desk has to be on the same page. That everyone has to follow the same procedures. And it’s just not happening. And the sheriff? I don’t ever see the guy. It’s kind of hard to be the sheriff when your never there.

    And let me also touch base on some of the other issues I’ve mentioned in the past (and some I haven’t). When I was “interviewed” for the front desk manager job it was mentioned that extra duties would fall on the front desk manager. The gm was very cryptic about all of it and would not spare any details. The usual cover story was given to me that he didn’t have all the details himself. So as it turns out the front desk manager is doing two jobs for the price of one. Which I think is foolish if the rumor is true that the sheriff makes under 20 a year. I wasn’t really excited at the idea of more to do and I was offered 25 a year. So it makes me wonder about the new guy.

    I’ve also thought about this “gm” and his offer to me about running the front desk. I think it was all bullshit. A fabricated story to give the appearance that people within the company can go higher. It’s a fairy tale these assholes have tried to spread since they came into power back in 2002. A fairy tale I helped spread thanks to my own big mouth here on the net and in the real world. It was all bullshit. I honestly don’t think they ever had any intention of making me the front desk manager. It also appears that the gm’s claim of me being the second in command was also bullshit. Again I’m not surprised or hurt by any of this. I’m more pissed I let my self eat this shit hook line and sinker.

    Not that any of this matters. I don’t care anymore. The hotel will continue it downward spiral and not one thing will change for the better. My only hope is that I will be able to get my two weeks vacation in before I quit or get fired again. Of course there is the off chance that the place will finally close. Either way it doesn’t matter to me. I just know I have to get the hell out of the place.
