I Sat Down & Got Wrote Up!

On some Rosa Parks shit....who would think sitting down would bring so much 'mu'fuckin ruckus' like Wu Tang's first album? So just like I predicted in my previous blog....I got wrote up! Yup! For why? For sitting down in the middle of the night behind the desk of my EMPTY ass hotel!

Apparently my GM got on some ol secret service shit by circling the block a couple times and peering in the lobby window to see what we were doing before he decided to casually stroll in during the 5am hour. Now my overnight shift is 11pm-7am. So yeah.....minimal guest interaction during these hours. So what if I get a bar stool from the restaurant and sit down for the most of the shit? I invite upper mgmt. to work this shift repeatedly and not be tempted to sit down. It's different in the day. In the day you got people bustling about, you are going to and fro handling shit and etc. But overnight? Nothing! Your ass is just sitting there!

What the fuck ever dude!

I'll tell you this though....my fucking feet are killing me! Im standing in this bitch, shifting the weight from one foot to the other, shoes is off and the whole nine. Im maaaaaad irritable right now. This is some ol monkey ball bullshit right here!

Standing for eight hours? I'd love to see your GM handle that. I have a sit-down job and I have to get up every hour to stretch my legs ...you'd think they'd let you sit every now and then to rest yours.

I can see you standing too... shifting from side to side... ole boy must have nothing to do... circling the block on some cheaters investagative bs!!LOL Maybe his wife/husbdand isn't breaking him off, so he has to overcompensate... Doubt if he would or could stand for 8hrs and DEAL WITH THE STRANGE ENTITIES THAT PLAGUE YOUR NITES... Well, I feel for u Teej.. *Sighs* U can always go in the bathroom and sit for a minute.. sometimes when I'm real tired I go in the bathroom and sleep... lmao.. works.. then I just tell them I have stomach problems.. they can't write u up for that.. it's against the law.

*singing* "Get up, stand up, stand up for your---" Wait wait, that's wrong. *Ahem* "Get down, sit down, sit down for your rights, get down, sit down, don't give up the fight."

That standing for eight hours sounds dumb and just more than a bit meaningless. You should contact OSHA and see about how that doesn't fit in a healthy work environment.

You might wanna make that suggestion to corporate. Have a manager or something work your shift for 5 days. They may not like it, but it may be effective for future night time specialists. When managers get involved and see what's really going on, i.e the standing and boredom, etc. they wanna change it just in case they might actually have to work it (say, if everyone called off sick or something).
So if you raise enough hell, they might actually change some shit. *Thought* Dang, i started off all corporate, then ended up with "some shit"! That's wild *End thought*

O and I do that too - go to the bathroom and take a little nap. It is effective as hell after lunch. I set the alarm on my phone to go off in 4.5 minutes. People think my shit don't stink! I'm telling you Happy Times, man!
