Half way

Yep, half way through this rotation. My whole next week will be the same as this week, splits and day shifts. I have to get used to the fact that my nice routine is gone for this one. I'm trying to make myself at least do stretching and floor exercises in my room, but so far have had not much success.

The weather, in one word, is COLD. Tonight it is supposed to get down to 1c (or about 33f). And there are still people complaining that their a/c doesn't work. After smiling nicely, and telling them I'll put a work order in right away, I want to shout at them "IT'S BECAUSE IT'S TOO FRIGGIN' COLD OUTSIDE, THAT'S WHY IT WON'T COME ON!!!" or "JUST OPEN YOUR WINDOW!". Whew, glad I got that out of my system. I refuse to turn on any heat in August.

I was entertained this morning, again, by logging customer complaints. One fella - who did not put his name or room number, therefore we cannot respond - wrote a letter of complaint about steak night last night. I guess the fans over the grills were not working yesterday, so the steaks had to be done on griddles, therefore not "char-broiled". This poor guy, he looks forward to steak night all week and then to have to live with the disappointment of not having his steak char broiled. Why, oh why didn't they check the fans earlier in the day??? His disappointment could have been avoided if only someone would've thought to check the fans at noon, rather than right before dinnertime. And that's all I'll say on that subject.

Full house here this week. Had to start putting people in the overflow trailers. They are jack and jill rooms (two rooms share a bathroom) so, of course, the inevitable grumbling starts. Although I have to say, for the most part, people were not too bad about it. They grimaced and groaned, but at least didn't threaten to quit their job (see previous post).

I'm going to finish napping now, and prepare to go back to work for check-ins tonight :)
