Already sneezy. September and October are usually my worst months. I need to pick up a bottle of allergy eye drops tomorrow...my eyes get sooo itchy!0

No allergies here but my lack of sleep earlier is kicking my butt at work right now. I usually grab coffee from the Keurig within the first 30 mins of starting my shift. Tonight I was trying to figure out why my mug would not fit in the machine. I finally realized, 5 mins later, that I was trying to fill my tall water bottle with coffee, which of course is too tall to fit.0

Thankfully, I don't really have seasonal allergies. Hooray!
It seems like my read on the thing was correct, hooray again! I realize it was probably a super awkward moment for him, but it actually made me really happy, because I couldn't really tell before that if he was interested at all. So yeah!0 -

I realized when I got up feeling like hell that we have NO allergy meds in the house at all. So THAT'S definitely on my agenda.0 -
My plans for today are sitting out in this heat to take in the Labor Day parade. Ick. Last year was much cooler. I packed my parasol in case the sun finds me! The other day my tot started soccer and I forgot the parasol...I looked like a straight bampire (as my kiddo calls 'em) bee-lining to the shade.
Aren't those little grammar slip ups adorable? Elka speaks like a 8 year old, probably, but when she says "bampire" or apple "orcherid"...I can't correct her! Actually, they say don't "correct" them, re-use the word properly back to them...which we did when she was learning. But I know they will soon all be gone. :-( I never hear "bessert" any more...
On a side note...soooo the soccer coaches. We first hear from ours a day before the first practice. Already not a good foot to start on imo. We show up and some tall, athletic African guy (I mean African...not PC for black) asks our kid's name, says "Nope, you're over there with Tiffany." (Names have been changed, lol) We sadly walk away from that coach, who we later see doing drills WITH the kids and overall looking like an awesome coach. We walk to Tiffany. A blonde white gal in all pink with my physique (which isn't athletic) who looks like she can't wait for punkin spice stuff this fall. (I can't either but that is besides the point.) I'm super judgey, I know. But our team spends most of the time standing around and Tiffany instructs rather than gets in it with them. I'm sure she was an athlete at one time, hell I was at one time and I'm still pretty good at sport-y shizz when I do it but I just want that other coach!!! (In a whiny voice...) Who knows? Maybe Tiff will be great...

I can't coach anyone unless I'm at least doing the motions with them.
I ALSO can't wait for pumpkin spice things this fall. (OMG SQUEEE!)
I was pretty athletic back in the day, in middle school I was 144 lbs and had ABS! Ahhhh the good ol' days.
The African guy also probably eats, sleeps, and breathes football soccer. 'Tiffany' might be really super great. We will just have to find out.

I've never been athletic, but I think it would be fun to play a sport if I didn't, you know, suck at all of them...
And frak yeah, bring on the pumpkin spice! Its like a consolation prize for Summer being over.0 -
Why is it that euthanasias all seem to come in waves.0

Sounds like a rough shift. ((hugs))

Ok, please tell me 5 more times how someone else told you there is a room available. That'll magically make a room available.0

Well. The parade wasn't today. It is on Labor Day. I thought they always had it on the Saturday closest to Labor Day. Soooo...we were sitting in our chairs on the parade route (way early) and the closer it got to the time they should start closing down the streets, I realized it wasn't happening. I googled it and felt like a complete azz. Oh well!0
-
@jennifer_417 Do you get the people that can't comprehend that check in is at 3 (or whatever time yours is)? Go ahead and book that room for Saturday night and show up at 4 a.m. Saturday morning...not only will the room be occupied already...you can't check in until 3 pm even if it was vacant...(we do have a little wiggle room for early checkins)...0
-
Fortunately, we don't get much of that. If they don't cancel by 4pm, they're paying for the room, so we're content to hold it for them.0
-
It's MIDNIGHT! I've been waiting to dig into this stir fry for about 6 hours....My dad made it and it smelled like HEAVEN so I traded my salad in for the beef stir fry on rice. It might not fit into my calorie goals but I'm gonna MAKE IT FIT!

We charge for no cancel as well and hold any room held with a cc. It is the people leaving da bars that want to check in after last call and stay until the next day. Which, I'll check ya in at 4 a.m....but you are out by noon or pay for two nights and out the next day. Or check in after 7 when our new "business day" starts and we charge a day and a half, out by the next day. And no...we don't go hourly or give discounts for stumbling in as the early risers are leaving.
I understand that people don't know how check ins work if they don't work in a hotel or stay in them frequently, why would you? I don't mind explaining their options...but after I explain in 13 times...c'mon...just because you don't think it is fair, doesn't mean the options are changing.0 -

Stir fry being cooked always smells great!
Back when my fiancé first started living together, he'd come home and anytime I'd being sautéing onions, particularly if I sautéed them in bacon fat...he'd be like "What are you MAKING?? It smells delicious!" I'd be like "Onions...just...onions so far."

I don't get too much of that...people are usually content if I offer 'em a late checkout, 12 or 1ish. But I do get super annoyed when I have to explain the EXACT same thing over and over again, or people tell me the EXACT same thing over and over again, like it's gonna magically change my mind.0

Yesssssss. Same tactic my FIVE year old uses...but from adults...sheesh...0 -
I've been really lucky. When I used to work out of town a lot, the hotels would let me check in at 9 AM after I was done with my shift and if I could check out by 3 PM so they could turn the room, they would only charge me a half day. Most of the time, Hotels have been really nice to me when I explain why I need to check in at 9 AM when my shift is done.0
-
A lot does depend on whether or not housekeeping is able to get to the room or not. On busy days...housekeepers here are gone by three. Hotels with 24 housekeeping or at least an a.m. and a p.m shift tend to be more lenient for sure...and we do consider WHY people are checking it at an unconventional hour. If it is a road weary traveler or someone leaving a hospital or in town for a funeral or wedding...we'll be more lenient than some local wanting to crash 'cause they can't go home for whatever reason.0
-
Agreed. Someone who is obviously intoxicatedd is highly unlikely to get a room from me at all.0
-
Well, I can honestly say I've never been intoxicated so that hasn't been a problem. Watching my buddies in the military puking their guts out made me never want to try alcohol. 0

I
alcohol. The flavors, the intensity. Finding the right balance is key. I still screw up occasionally if I don't pay attention and end up falling off the bus and puking my guts out. 0 -
I did have one poor soul (at a previous place I worked) show up at like 6 am because someone told him he could go ahead and check in that early. He came in a cab and could barely speak English. There was still a person in the unit and there wasn't anything I could do for him. I actually felt bad for that one.0

I'm at a point in my life where I don't like apples or pears unless they are SLATHERED in peanut butter....0

Just got a class act flashing a wad of cash three inches thick but his and her CCs declined. It was one of those where he thought if he kept waving the cash at me, I'd change my mind. It isn't MY mind, it is THE rule.0

I'm leaving here in an hour or so and eating pancakes! I've got a coupon for free Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity pancakes and dammit, I'm gonna eat 'em!0

Hahaha! I'm sorry. I would have the hardest time not laughing in that moment.
This actually reminds me, I wanted to put another $100 toward paying of my credit card!0 -

I'm gonna go home and make waffles....after I walk the dog. Darn mutt. But she makes this face after:
And who doesn't wanna see that face?!

She looks like Gmork from The Neverending Story! The CHILD ME would not have wanted to see that face!
Aaaand another guy flippin' his shizz over tax on the room. State tax. City tax. Buddy...I do not have control over TAXES. I tried to explain it is like buying anything else...there is TAX.0
