Another week has passed and finally my 2 days off, but they are never really 2 days off. It never happens, the phone always rings and at any possible hour of the day. You would think after being there longer than a year the rest of the employees at my work could survive 48 hours at least without having to call me for some trivial common sense reason.
I mean seriously, seven months ago I had a security guard call me at 11:30pm , " Um... the trash in the clubroom is full, um... what should i do??" This is no joke and it infuriates me that people are this stupid on simple daily task and still have a job. I have routinely gotten at least 3 phone calls for every day that I supposedly had off.
The insanity of all this is that I do not see any reason for it to stop, as I am typing this I get yet another call " The Remotes to the theater are not turning anything on, can you come reset the system?" Knowing how they love to leave the $500 touch screen remote just laying around and not on it's charging station, I ask what the battery meter was reading on the screen. " um.. well the screen on the remote won't light up, so i don't know" to which I reply, the battery is dead and needs to put on the charging station for at least 2 hours. After which I walk them through on how to manually turn everything on and allow the guest to whatch their movie. Sadly I know in a few hours they will most likely call me about how to turn the system off, even after I told them that the remote would be charged by then and capable of shutting it all down.
Well I needed to rant for a few minutes and get that out. Thank you for stopping by and lending me a few minutes of you time.
Later
