It’s not usually polite to laugh at other people’s misery, so I always try to avoid it by biting my lip. This time I giggle instead of laugh. Hairlip Joe is going to get fired after the holidays. Giselle has had enough of him. Dean thinks he is slow. And today I found out that someone stole a bunch of Starbucks gift cards from Giselle’s office, so now the door is locked and there is no key to be found. I suppose it’s because of the incident, however that key is not only for the office, it’s for other doors as well. So, if there is an emergency, I can’t get into a few places like the elevator shaft, the electrical room downstairs, the telephone room and the pool room. Let’s just knock on wood here…*knock, knock, knock* and hope that nothing happens to warrant needing that key. Harilip is going to lose it tonight. He’ll probably quit. Then everyone is fucked. But it won’t be me taking up the slack this time. The real sucky thing is that I now I have no internet access either. I am not looking forward to next weeks 11-7 that’s for sure. Actually I bitched enough to have my boss now pay us time and a half for hours worked over 40, which by law he was never required to do. This is good, because this week, I worked 45 hours. Let’s figure this out…$330.00 after taxes is nice considering for usual check is $225.97. An extra hundred bucks you say? Not really. The car is dying and needs some love. So there it goes.
Tonight there is a Christmas party in the breakfast area for another company. So far, everyone looks like a geek. They remind me of a regular NERD from the movies. It’s rare that you get to see a bunch of them in one room. And lucky me, I got invited to join them. I’ll join them if they have good food. So far it smells like donuts and coffee. WHOA HOO what a party. They are supposed to stay out of the kitchen, but when I went in, they had already opened the door. Giselle asked me to keep an eye on them since she bought a bunch of beer for tomorrow’s party. Coors Light. Whooppeee. She says that “everyone” drinks Coors Light. I beg to differ. I don’t care really because I’ll be drinking the hard stuff. That is where I’ll get the real benefits out of the party. The big cheese you could say. Speaking of which, she bought a cheese platter that I want to tear into right the fuck now. Veggie platter looks real fucking good too. The Coors Light however, looks like Coors Light. She ordered a couple of platters from Subway too. That should be interesting. I gotta stop talking about food, because I am fucking hungry. I went to bed at 7:50 this morning after I took the trash barrels in from 145 and woke up at 2:20 to come downstairs and back to work. At least working in a hotel has the benefit of being able to sleep here in between shifts.
This little shindig that’s going on so far has less than 10 people. Why would you rent a room for $100.00 for less than twenty? Now they want to set up the t.v. so they can play a movie off a camcorder. How geeky is that? They asked me if I knew how to set it up on that big fucking flat screen t.v. HA! Nope. Not over here.
They just got done with the movie, and now they are eating pizza those bastards. Giselle said that he told her that employees were invited, but they haven’t said a word to me. I’m sure if anything at all that they will offer their leftovers like I’m some kind of slave. Macaroni salad from Hannaford and cold Amatos Pizza…mmm.mmm.good. Absolutely not. This one really ugly bitch keeps eyeballing me. I want to throw her down and punch her in her ugly face, but I don’t want to catch anything.
I just wandered outside to the office window on a hunch. It slid right open! Not too secure. You don’t need a key, just climb through the window! lol
