Moved into the new hotel in Townsville last night after doing the redeye and no sleep. The slag at reception DOESN'T check me in formally as I run into my room mate (a mate whom I got a job with us 3 weeks ago) in the foyer and he takes me up. So the first night I lock myself out; (no key roomie hasn't given it to me); can't get the key to work the security gate when i do get it; and need to hassle her for photocopies so I can go to work with the right forms.
THEEEEEN at 10.30 pm I set the smoke alarm off burning my dinner. Hard wired to the fire brigade; they show up for a false alarm and the hotel is partly evacuated. I do everything; doors open; fans on; trying to ring reception to say the smokes already cleared.....
She kicks me out the next morning ie today saying the manager (who is on holidays) has been contacted by the fireys and the perm residents want me out.
I ring the manager; he's curt; but cool and says it's up to her. So SHE'S the gutless scrag that has made the call and is hiding behind the residents and her manager.
He states I've already pissed her off by a) needing photocopying done b) locking myself out (she should have checked me in and given me a key - I was a zombie after 36 hours of no sleep and c) same thing with key /gate using wrong 'pole' and no checkin instructions.
So later today she back pedals a little -m possibly realising we're a major corporate client that spends big $$$$ with them. Stupid cow. Remember I'm getting a $940 fire brigade call out fine. That's not humiliating/punishment enough?????
She finally gets MY new mate (because I can't get accom anywhere else; and have said I'd have to take him anyway 'cause work wouldn't pay for 2 hotels for the 2 of us) to vouch for MY behaviour.
I'm his team leader.......
But get this.............................................................
Tonight SHE sets off the alarm and the fireys come again. 2 nights in a row....................
PRICELESS............... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
