Our story begins on a night where I started off pleasantly enough but now a rage floods me like the Red River in North Dakota. Let me describe a normal night so you can get a basis for my recent upset. I get there around eleven or so depending on if I wake up late or not and from then until seven AM I am alone! On various days I will see the occasional guest checking in but most of the time it's just me back behind the desk alone just me. The only sliver of joy I have during my isolation is being able to watch movies since I love cinematic adventures and just having them on in the background makes my nights go by much faster. Cut to today I try to watch a movie and i see it just fine but wheres my audio? long story short apparently it was deleted! why because according to a memo in our logbook they are for checking in guests and hotel business only. Don't get me wrong I fully understand where the note is coming from but to tell the guy who not only has been here for about 3 years and the only one who works by themselves 255 days out of the year (that's minus my days off) is almost a slap in the balls, I say balls because a slap in the face doesn't hurt near as much. Why are they taking this simple pleasure away you might be asking? because if you don't adhere it will cause systematic failure and destroy the universe.
now granted virus's are a bitch but if I watch movies off of my portable hard drive I'm not downloading any bad things from the web so should I be punished in the same category as those who don't work alone like me? should I be given any special treatment? No but to do it all at once without discussing it with people is well messed up. The only thing I brought with me tonight was a DVD or two to watch and low and behold I cannot. I know I probably shouldn't be writing this as its viewable by everyone in the world but if I don't vent it out somewhere I feel bad things will happen I can just see me going bananas over the smallest thing because of my frustration level got too high. I would have personally preferred to have been told about this happening before if did because walking in unprepared is a very uncomfortable feeling and since I work alone I have no one to talk to and movies are my only friend in the cold night. sad? maybe a little but you try working a shift at night where you don't see a person the entire time and you might understand where I am coming from I kinda feel like a paper weight if I cant even watch a movie to pass the time just sit there and try not to die.
Disclaimer if you will :
I know that makes me seem like I dislike my job or my bosses I don't I actually love my job I am good at it I am just frustrated with the way things are being handled and the lack of communication is killing me.
twiddling my thumbs for the next so many hours
Josh Out!
