hello all you beautiful LJ readers/writers...
this one is gonna be short cuz I'm just getting ready to go to work...anyways just thought I'd write this down...you know...make a paper-trail memory so I don't ever forget about this...
im a hotel half-breed lol i spend 1/2 my time working at the hotel and the other 1/2 hanging out at the Keg lounge with the Keg staff...(cuz i love them all) anyways...like 2 nights ago I drove a bunch of Keg staff home and someone I drove home took my uniform home...it was in a big white plastic bag...and yeah...no one has returned it so the last 2 days at work i got in crap for not having the proper uniform...and im about to get in crap again because whoever accidentally took it still hasn't given it back...so YAY!! can't wait to get yelled at!!!
anyways that little hissy fit aside...here's the real juicy gossip...(well part of it)
me and Syd were working the front desk last night when all of a sudden the Keg staff comes into our lobby and said you need to evacuate the Keg is on fire...so this being the first hotel fire experience Syd takes the stairs and starts knocking on doors on the 2nd floor letting people know we are evacuating and I start calling people on the 7th floor letting them know we are evacuating meanwhile answering the dozens of calls from guests...we didn't tell many people to evacuate before we were told by the fire chief we didn't have to evacuate so yeah...we said false alarm the fire is next door and it is contained blah blah blah....anyways guests were on their toes now lol. but they went back to their rooms...and things went back to normal...well almost normal haha...because the Keg closed for the night so inspections could be done all the Keg guests went downstairs to Delaneys Irish Pub...Delaney even took all the tables and chairs out of Coco Jo's to accomodate all the people he had down there...(if the fire marshall had of seen that woweeee coulda been a HUGE fine!!!!) but anyways back to my story....because it really does get more interesting....yeah about 30 minutes after all that commotion happened...the EFFIN' fire alarm went off and it was mass hysteria x2!! ME and Syd had to rummage through the drawers to find the EFFIN' smallest key on the smallest key-tag I've ever seen and silence the fire alarm...the people who monitor our fire alarm system didn't even call us when the alarm went toff to see if we needed fire trucks or ambulances or anything...and anyways so the guests were off in a panic again and the phone lines lit up and Syd ran down to the boilerroom(which is where the fire panel said the fire had originated) to check if it was actually a fire...it wasn't...something was burning in Delaney's kitchen...so YEAH...another false alarm...oh my god...lol it really made for an interesting night...really truly honestly did...
so me and Syd are putting in our 2 weeks notice and we are going to go join the Fire Squad lol
