A question for Rosh...

You worked at a hotel right? Were you a deskman? If so, what was the job, and pay like?

I worked at a motel. Front desk. It's easy enough, though I wish ours had had a computer. We had to use this big board and put tape up for reservations. Ugh.

The worst part of it is dealing with annoying tourists trying to cheat you out of a night's rent or even just the phone bill, etc. No, wait. My coworkers were worse. They were bigoted, racist, and rude. They disliked just about everyone. Especially the guy who worked the shift after mine. He just about did hate everyone, and he let them know it. I've had guests come in and tell me how much they disliked him, how mean he was.

Still, it's easy work. There's next to no stress, and since we're ocean front, we had some really hot chicks walking around in bikinis all the time.

Paywise, well.. I got payed shit, but I didn't really ask for more. If I had worked at any other motel, I probably would've gotten at least a dollar more per hour. I just liked the place I worked.

But all in all, I really enjoyed working there.

Thanks. There's a hotel hiring here and I want to get a job there, that is if I can convince that idiot bitch of a mother I have to take me there, seeing as she won't do anything other than complain about me not having a car or job.

Haha.. that sucks. She complains about you not having a job, but won't help you get to wherever you might need to go to work?

Ick.

Good luck on the job.

It was simple, easy work.

Most of the people weren't too bad. Only some of them were annoying.

The lack of a computer just made the work a bit more complicated. Once I figured it out, though, it wasn't a problem. Just a slight inconvenience.

The money only sucked because I didn't ask for more. I didn't ask for more because I didn't need more.

Oh, and the hot chicks in bikinis are always a welcome sight.

I like my job. My boss laughs at words like "hard-on" even when they're not used in a sexual context, and he wants to become an astronaut someday.

So yeah, my life is pretty easy.

I worked at McDonald's for 4 years in highschool and college. Shit job, but I loved it. I had good coworkers and management though. I can see how a shit job is enjoyable though.

My question for Rosh: How did your date with the chick from the Chinese food place go?

I worked the night shift at a hotel for a couple months. I loved it. Worked 11:00-7:00. Maybe checked in 1 person a night, if any. Spent about 15-20 mins printing reports, and used the rest of my time to play online. Never had to deal with the boss, in fact I think I saw him once. Pay wasn't too bad. No one saw me to complain if I didn't wear that tacky uniform, life was great.

YAY!!!

I asked if she was seeing someone. She said she had a boyfriend. Oh well.
