Had a moderately promising job interview today. Do people realize how hard it is to turn in 1-2 page writing samples? My recent work output is confidential and my old school papers were never that short. I had to resort to a brochure I wrote 5 years ago.
I want to murder one of my guests in their sleep.
He's nice enough, but complains constantly. And then plugs up his toilet. I tried to fix it, but I'm waiting on my houseman to come back to work so he can fix it.
This happened the other night, too.
Some old friends from college talked me into taking in my alma mater's homecoming parade with them tomorrow morning. Wish I wasn't dreading going, but I am.
I start job training at REI on Sunday. Got hired as seasonal sales staff through January. Should give me more time to figure out what I am doing long term. I really want to end up somewhere back in the theater world if I can help it. I have realized in the last six months or so that I am just not at all happy away from it.
It's a girl. :)
My husband is away on guys weekend and I'm realizing how delightful it would be to be single.
One of my coworkers made a huge mistake yesterday morning by doing a room change but not changing the amount of nights staying. I was doing my job and put a woman into that room.
This is the same woman whose father freaked out last time she stayed here, because even though he was paying for it, he had to come to the hotel in person. I'm surprised he booked with us again.
I didn't catch this mistake until late last night. Now my hotel has to pay for this woman's night to another hotel. Her father is going to be PISSED. Lucky for them, it's at one of the 5 star hotels downtown and it's costing us almost $400.
FML.
I was right not to open this thread before today.
Today is getting worse. Of course I'm the only one here, too.
I really want to lock the doors, lower the blinds, and put on my heels.
I'm going to bump this thread because I have to rant about my job.
I do love my job but nights like tonight it sucks.
My hotel is close to the Haight/Ashbury neighborhood, and every now and then a crazy homeless man will come in. Today's homeless man grabbed a bunch of candy and yelled Trick of Treat!
I have no vacancies because a curtain rod in 105 broke after the houseman left and I don't do construction. So, the woman who is supposed to stay in 105 has a free upgrade to a 2 bedroom suite. Lucky her.
So that's my night tonight. Thankfully, there haven't been a lot of phone calls. I hate phone calls. It's all the same thing: "Do you have any rooms?" "What are your rates?" "Where are you located?"
We're located at www.nameofhotel.com. Jesus Christ!
JG2 that is not banal news at all! A way too belated congratulations!!!
I'm observing a very rowdy class of freshmen high schoolers now.
I'm reading BWW right now
One of my roommates moved out yesterday and with him went the Internet, so I'm using a free one from the bar downstairs. I can use most of everything except Facebook. It's upsetting.
I've only been here for a month, but the one that moved out was so messy. I have another roommate who is like me, works at least 40 hours a week and goes to school, so I knew she wasn't the one making the messes. I finished cleaning out the refrigerator a few minutes ago and I had to throw away so much food. I haven't seen so much mold in my life. Disgusting.
So now I have a clean fridge! Yay! But what to make for dinner? I have three options: steak and eggs, steak and mashed potatoes, or pasta with mushrooms and onion, with a tomato basil sauce?

utterly depressed right now
the organization in which I thought I would excel turns out to be an absolute snake pit - office politics everywhere and I think my supervisor is intentionally holding me (all of us?) back
during the 3+ years I've worked here only one person from our branch has received a promotion, and she was a relatively new hire at the time
I should be asleep by now, but I can't turn my brain off.
I wonder how Mitt Romney does it?
Seriously, insomnia sucks.
I've just realized that Diana Ross is the only living major cast member that is alive from the 1978 film, THE WIZ.
Michael Jackson, Nipsey Russell, Ted Ross, Lena Horne, Richard Pryor, Mabel King, Theresa Merritt are all gone.
