Everything else aside keeping me on the phone for 3 hours would take an act of god. dude was clearly using some sort of super power.Also, there is note here at the desk that I find hard to believe. I'm not saying it isn't true, it's just so unbelievable. It says that one of the local hotels was scammed, and it is so strange. Here are the basics.
Guy calls hotel at 2 in the morning, claims to be with "corporate" and "OSHA". Says he has spoken the the manager (gives her name as proof), and tells the clerk that they are scheduled for an inspection the next day. The GM had sent in a check to pay for it, but didn't sign it. He then convinced the clerk to get into the manager's office, search around until they found a company credit card, and give him all the info on it. Also, somehow, he apparently convinced the clerk to give him her personal card details, and took $400 from her. According to the note, he kept the clerk on the phone for 3 hours.
I want to know 2 things: a) Just how convincing was the guy on the phone, and b) Just how f@&&ing gullible is that clerk? Because that is some Grade AAA+++ stupidity right there.
Since we use the term 'velcro shoes' for people who are so stupid you cant believe they have the mental capacity to tie their shoe laces... well... I can believe it.
According to the note, he kept the clerk on the phone for 3 hours.
Makes you wonder what else he and his crew were pulling off during that 3 hours.

Speaking of vents... if you don't clean drier vents eventually things burst into flames...

It was hot, the night we burned Laundry.
There were vents in his financial ICE that hadn't been cleared since DOS was a pile of punch cards. Tally had some old kiddy script from the days before Neo-Sov. Softener, she called it. She was sure it could clear the cruft and give us a direct pipeline to Laundry's accounts. All of them. Not just the Barbados off-shore stuff. Even the legit cred piles in socked away in Zurich.
I just wanted to see him fold.

I will, however, b#!#@ about the note left by the housekeepers today. It basically says "We're tired of spending our time fixing your f+%+-ups with the laundry. Do it better." It features copious amounts of bold and 30pt text, and a lot of "You know how to do this, so stop screwing with us!" Of course, none of the desk workers have received any training or instruction in the "proper" way to set up the housekeeping carts, so I'm unsure as to how we should have known.
Man if they did that to me (my laundry person is very thankful for what help I provide mind you) that would be the last time I did laundry for them.

He's not wrong.
It's not like I'm doing it to be nice. It's part of the job now.I will, however, b#!#@ about the note left by the housekeepers today.

unfortunate. I guess at my place they are so wanton for help and their turn over rate is so high that I could get away with murder and they wouldn't fire me because no one wants to work night shift.
Was that a veiled confession?
(¬_¬)
If it were it would be the height of foolishness to confirm it.
(¬_¬)
Aye you move along!
‘ere now, wot’s all this then?
Wait how exactly are you The "fun" constable?
How fun is he?!
uuhh...
Well the party managed to throw me another curve ball but I think i can work it out quite nicely.
You know I said going into that link : I really hope this is a baseball reference." I was not disappointed.
Hey uh I was the alias appointed to field that question. Now I'm going to use this time to talk about my favorite kind of rock.
Pegmatite is an igneous rock, formed underground, with interlocking crystals usually larger than 2.5 cm in size (1 in). Most pegmatites are found in sheets of rock (dikes and veins) near large masses of igneous rocks called batholiths... They sometimes look a bit like chocolate chip cookies.
Hey man...
Aw dude! Stone giant. Stone giant. I gotta stop falling for that and getting so excited.
I can help you with that... for about tree fiddy.

Dammit Loch Ness Monster! Stop coming round here asking for tree fiddy! I done told you we work for our money. I'm not gonna just give you tree fiddy.
I miss when we only had about 7-8 people in hotel at a time.
I need some of that closed action. I'm over due.
Ugh I kept thinking it was Sunday going into Monday but its Saturday going into Sunday... sigh.
Ok now I got my days right. It's ok everyone!

It's so hard, fighting Youtube's gravity well.
No, no, nothing can escape its pull. You must GO THROUGH!
Get a job as an apartment manager. Similar set of skills, but considerably less interaction with people. Oh, in theory you have to, but
they never seem to be in the damn office, and never answer the phone.
I actually had one literally hang up every time you clicked "press 3 to speak with a..." etc - it just made the phone hang up when you tried to connect. And their front door had a sign - by appointments only - and the number lead to that line with the auto-disconnect feature.
When me and my SO were looking for a place to rent we tried a apartment complex we tried calling and drove their on 3 occasions when the sign on the door said they would be in. Never heard a word from them or saw them once over the course or 3 weeks. We just decided #@$@ that place.
