I kinda feel bad
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010Tonight was freaking crazy! Not even gonna down play this one. My work kinda screwed me tonight, and not the way I prefer
We gave out WAY too many rooms to the airport to give to passengers if their flights were cancelled .. and the airport took advantage. A flight got rerouted because a man died on the airplane (RIP). I had to start sending people back because we ran out of rooms and they went over what we gave them.
It wasn’t helpful that my hotel didn’t have enough rooms cleaned or planned in advance for this BS. Then a flight crew came in for 3 rooms. They arrived at 1am and the fax for the rooms for them came in at 9pm. They were never made. Awesome. My security guard and co worker started cleaning some dirty rooms. Thank god for them.
I actually had to put people into our Parlor rooms. Parlor rooms are basically twice the size of regular guest rooms. They have a connecting room to a regular guest room, so it can or cannot be sold as a suite. It has a mini kitchen complete with fridge and microwave, bathroom, couch, TV, dining room table, it’s really nice .. just no bed and the couch is not a pull out sofa. I had to use 3 out of 4 the parlor rooms and had housekeeping put rollaway beds in them . One of them was given to one of the crew members and 2 of them were given to 2 of the distress guests that saw a man die.
People were crying. It was BAD. I felt awful.
But .. when I’m stressed and about to scream I think to myself someone is always having a worse day than me, and at least I am not the one who died tonight.
