I've been working in hotels for about 9 years now and I still can't figure out how people think it's smart business for a hotel to not sell rooms. Yea, we keep our super secret block of rooms set aside, but we aren't allowed to sell them. They just sit empty on the off chance that YOU call. We're so happy you called us, we can finally use your special reserved room!

Quoth KhirasHY View PostI’m going to start a reservations movement called Serious Help In Timing. We will organize into bands and spread out across the nation, and then the world. Our dedicated teams of SHIT workers will move about, trying to educate the unwashed masses about the fact that, if they think a place might even remotely be popular over, say, a weekend just before a holiday, then maybe they ought to plan ahead for that! How thankful we all will be for the fact that, at my behest, we were able to fling SHIT across the entire world to educate people with, smearing the SHIT-truth across their blank faces, pounding it into their heads through their gaping, drooling maws.
SHIT-fo’-life, suckas!!!there's some people with issues that medication, therapy or a baseball bat just can't cure

I'd like to join, as well. My immediate super needs some serious help with this...For example...
My boss (and, more directly, his office manager/GF) have been riding me to get more billable appointments. I managed to score a decent one today, and what were the first words out of her mouth? "Well, are you sure you'll have time to get this week's (NON-billable) marketing mailout done?" -- It took everything I had to explain to her that, as long as I have 4 hours uninterrupted to deal with the data file, the rest of it can be worked on pretty much at any time and still get done with time to spare...I was a full DAY ahead of schedule last week, and still she gives me shit. She's even tried to PREVENT me from doing a billable session because the marketing wasn't done yet (note: not yet DUE, just in progress) >_<"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

Awesome post. I was going to post the comments you had that made me laugh my ass off, but there were too many of them, so take that as a compliment!
Quoth KhirasHY View Postthey do website updates or PR releases about packages before making sure we’re ready to sell them.
Quoth KhirasHY View PostMe: I’m sorry ma’am, we are sold out on that day.
SC: You don’t have ANYTHING left?
Quoth KhirasHY View Posta street address, with city and zip code is a requirement!
Quoth KhirasHY View PostOne should be able to go to your website homepage and see the address and phone number clearly.
Quoth KhirasHY View PostSC: So what are we going to do then?
Quoth KhirasHY View Post“That won’t happen, we hop on the phones.”
Over the course of the night, I received 132 more calls, each of which had an average wait time of 23 minutes overall (some waited longer, some didn’t). Why? Because no one else answered a single call. For four and a half hours. So, what does this tell me now?
Quoth KhirasHY View PostSC: So if we came in at 11:30, could we just sit?
I have actually seen it where, before a place I work at is open, we will have people at the doors, and every now and then, they will ask if they can "just come in and sit and wait" until we are open. Most of the time, intelligence prevails, and management or coworkers say no, but on the few times they have allowed this, almost EVERY SINGLE TIME the people then start acting very impatiently. "Are you open yet?" "Can we just get a drink while we're waiting?" "Can we just order now and you can put the order in when you're open?" Answers: No, we're not. No, because I am not done setting up the bar, which is what I am in the process of doing the hour before we are open. And no, because then you will bitch when it takes a while for you to get it, since neither the front of the house staff nor the kitchen are ready to start yet. Why aren't we ready? Because we're still setting up. Why are we still setting up? Because this is the time we use to set up, because.... (deep breath, wait for it).....WE AREN'T FUCKING OPEN YET.
Quoth KhirasHY View PostMe: They would not be open at 10am, they start serving at 12pm…although they are full for the entire day, every table already, it seems.
SC: But nothing at 10am?
Quoth KhirasHY View PostSC: It’s my mother’s 70th birthday, can’t you squeeze her in at either place?
Quoth KhirasHY View PostSC: But it’s her 70th birthday!
