    Decidedly Dim-wittted Dolts...

    Actually, funny you should mention bringing it to someone higher. A few of my co-workers and myself have all sent e-mails to our corporate office. Since we asked our boss for the number and he gave us the e-mail instead. All the head of corporate did? Was forward the e-mails to our HR lady. Who...

    I am incredibly thankful that I have ninja skills and that my boyfriend's mother did NOT see me completely topless last night on skype... *face palm*

    Lets Play *I Am*

    I am... currently just sitting at my desk in awe of the stupidity that surrounds me on a day to day basis... (not you guys, just... my life... people I deal with in my life... just got home from work... xD)

    Decidedly Dim-wittted Dolts...

    Okay, I just like alliteration too much. Is anyone else fed up with the stupidity in modern society? Today in the land of Housekeeping, I faced a very real challenge. My best friend has been demoted YET AGAIN. Making her PART-TIME supervisor of housekeeping while someone with no experience...

    A Housekeeper's Lament

    More painstakingly ridiculous garbage I put up with on a day-to-day basis: I have to train girls now. I've trained three. 1 got fired, 1 quit, and 1 was amazing. NOW I have to keep training. One today. One tomorrow (a different). And one Friday ( a third...). I am not a supervisor. Why the HELL...

    Update on Caroline: She was fired for making the boss's daughter cry, after only offering to help her at the end of our day. Thank jeebus.

    Crappy Cranky Co-workers Can't Quit Complaining

    Yes, an alliterative and obnoxious mouthful of a title for an obnoxious woman whose name happens to complete the alliteration. I've already posted about my work as a housekeeper, but this thread is less about that and more about co-workers you absolutely cannot deal with. Today at work, a...

    I've probably done this before... list 5 things that are on your desk

    Five things on my desk. A glow in the dark photographer troll from McDonald's circa 1997 or 98...? A very old copy of Oliver Twist. So old that it has no publication page so I can't for the life of me figure out when this particular copy was published. A book entitled "14,000 Things to Be...

    A Housekeeper's Lament

    So many. Some are not my own, but happened at my hotel... but I'll tell two of mine first. Number One Horror Story: The Orgy. Now, I can't be sure there WAS an orgy. But I walked into the presidential suite of our hotel. I'm one of our top housekeepers, so I usually clean the suites. Now, the...

    A Housekeeper's Lament

    Oh god. A new complaint: I HATE this. I hate when people make soupy disgusting nasty in a coffee maker. BRING a microwave on vacation with you if you MUST do this, or at least cook your soup IN the cup of soup thing. Do you know how GROSS it makes the coffee pot? It makes it super gross...

    A Housekeeper's Lament

    It's not so annoying that people don't leave tips. Unless of course there room is trashed. I hate getting a trashed room that has no tip in it. People think they pay all this money for a hotel room and they have the right to just TRASH the place. "Who cares? The housekeeper HAS to clean it up...

    A Housekeeper's Lament

    When you stay at a hotel, you probably are wound up in your vacation. You hope the weather stays nice. You hope the hotel has an indoor pool. You hope you packed everything you needed. You hope you don't get a flat tire or run out of money. You also, probably don't give a crap about the hotel...

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...

    I'm currently on a path that I wish I knew more about. Once upon a time, I was in love. I still don't know if that's even true. I was in love with a man I'd never met. A man on the direct opposite side of the planet. I don't know if that's possible, but no one could deny I had some strong...
