First off, here's a little back-story as to what this blog post is raving about: http://community.livejournal.com/hotel_
Right, so I start my shift and things are shitty from the get-go. I have a few days off, I missed a LOT. SOMEONE *COUGH creepy night auditor* we still don't know who *COUGH he's so far in the closet he smells like mothballs and old socks COUGH* was browsing gay porn on the boss-man's computer. I wish I were kidding, but bimbo-boss-man looked at the Internet Explorer history tab and found some interesting websites listed in it. For some unknown reason, IE doesn't tell you when the sites were visited, just that they WERE (or maybe MicroSuck updated this feature recently, I don't know because our work computers are still using IE 5.something or other.) So after listening to him whine about it while he installs parental-control software on his computer (which officially nobody is supposed to be using for any reason, but hey, that's life for ya) I wait until he's about to leave, he's in a pissy mood, now's obviously not a good time.
So a few hours pass and about a minute before he's out, I say "Hey, just one more thing real quick, okay? I'm not trying to be rude, I know last week in Little Rock was kind-of an anomaly, but PLEASE don't come to my house anymore. Hubby was upset and when Hubby's upset, I'M upset. My phone works, all you have to do is call."
E P I C B A D I D E A
He goes on a 7 minute tirade about me not answering my phone when he DOES call (which isn't true in the slightest. That, and I don't remember being hired for an on-call position) and 'reminding' me that I signed a piece of paper saying that I'd have a working phone after 30 days of signing (which I did.)
Dude, seriously, chill the fuck out and stop acting like I just shot a kitten.
Then he goes on that he can "technically terminate someone for not holding up to that signed agreement." Please tell me this is a joke. First of all, I'm not sure that 'signed agreement' is even legally sound since I'm NOT on-call. And if I ever WAS, nobody ever told me about it. Second, it still doesn't warrant you COMING TO MY FUCKING HOUSE!!! Third, if I want to go out on my day off, away from my phone, thus not able to answer it right away, I'll go out and enjoy myself because IT'S MY DAY OFF YOU NITWIT!!! My phone has caller ID, if someone calls I'll know about it, and if it's from work I'll call them right back. This is how it's been for months, now.
Then he 'reminds' me that I have 2 past write-ups. The first one was because I didn't get ANYTHING done during the 3 days following the ice storm, something that was an act of the Gods, an absolute freak accident and a one-time occurrence. The other time was being written up for something though I admit I did wrong (the phone-number incident) I had already been reprimanded for beforehand, which is technically harassment but fuck dude I can't reason with these people anymore.
So now he's saying all the scary-words like "we WANT to be able to keep you here" and "it's a tough world out there," trying to make me pee myself in fear of getting axed and it's just not happening. Seriously, I can technically go to Basic whenever I want.
Go ahead, boss-man, fire me. We both know this crack-house will practically burn to the ground without me. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot over something as stupid as a phone while doing me a huge favor by giving me a head-start on my military career, you go right ahead. I won't stop you.
Besides, the way the owners keep pansying out on spending ANY MONEY on the upkeep, you won't have a hotel to ruin-*ahem* run, for much longer anyway.
