By lying to me for years and saying you gave a flying fuck when really it was your mental guilt that forced you to pay attention to the one child you fathered.
Now, that you have to sit in jail and deal with your shit, you want me to feel bad for you.
You said when you came up to "explain" What happened, even though it was known already to me.
You are a sick, sorry little bastard with no consideration for anyone's needs but your own. That about spells it out.
Your letters, will soon be my firestarter if I have a bonfire, or maybe I'll shred them up to use as cushion for when I send Mark his christmas gifts. Either way, I will read than trash them, just like you made than trashed me.
Fuck you.

Hmm.
From my Manager:
Apparently the ones acting like children, are myself and 3 of my co-workers. Because for the last YEAR, almost 2, everyone has had to take up slack for the Front Desk Manager.
I could list all of her offenses againest us, but I'll try to sum it up by list.
What she does to mine and J's shift:
By having a title over us and only a touch more seniority than P, she treats us like she's the only adult.
As a person, she's okay. As a co-worker or assistant boss? She shouldn't have a job anymore.
wishes everyone could just get along!!!...everyone is supposed to be an adult here...well I feel like everyone should start acting like adults instead of high school kids!..the drama is getting old

What she does to mine and J's shift:
- We (J & I) are in charge of making waffle batter. She'll leave an INCH of batter in the container, in the fridge, rather than help us by cleaning it out.
- She'll tell guests J & I can do things we aren't auth'd to do or know how to do.
- She doesn't clean Lobby herself, therefore J & I are forced to play musical cabinets / drawers to find our breakfast supplies.
- Demands that if WE messed up the room list (Checking who's in or out, we do a check for this each shift), that it's our fault when housekeeping almost goes in or goes in an occupied room. She should also have caught the mistake.
- Leaves the desk once they get there, but hiding out in laundry. She's supposed to be backing up the desk until we can clock out.
- Doesn't tell them if somethings messed up less she thinks it'll get her in trouble, then it's a veiled answer.
- Front Desk Manager. She's the second to my manager. So if my manager can't be there, she is supposed to be. Yet she's usually off work and not helpful.
- Answer questions any of us has, so our manager isn't on clock 24/7. Can't be arsed to answer her phone 99% of the time.
- Do breakfast inventory. Which she messes up sometimes, rather than fact checking with the manager.
- Put away stock / clean up after breakfast. As mentioned above, housekeeping usually does that.
- Keep breakfast stocked. I have proof she doesn't use the stock I give her. I took a picture of a box of muffins one night, counted how many were left and MARKED the box with an arrow pointing to the wall. There were 6 muffins left. She should have used them that day during breakfast. Guess what? Come 11: 6 muffins in the box and box hasn't moved.
By having a title over us and only a touch more seniority than P, she treats us like she's the only adult.
As a person, she's okay. As a co-worker or assistant boss? She shouldn't have a job anymore.

I give up
Apparently it's okay to use me as the last resort for the last 8 years. Apparently it's OKAY to keep telling me about stuff I'm not involved in in a bragging tone. It doesn't make me jealous, it pisses me off that you do it.
Go ahead, ,have fun with your boys. It's alright. Cause when you realize you screwed over everyone else or neglected the friends you used to have, it will probably be too late for anyone to care. I'm the first one to give up on you because you've decided NOBODY is more important than your boys.
Eventually everyone else will either give up or just back off, either way, you'll have a smaller group of 3.. yourself and the other two. Kind of lonely eh?
I quit. I'm not answering my phone from you less it has to do with work.

Travel Expert my ass..
Yeah, I have a problem with this: This Article
Let me break this down from a hotel clerk's point of view.
Okay, first off, NOBODY is out to get you. We deal with our customers, even the shitty ones, with a smile (At least until you leave the lobby, then we may say a few choice words under our breath, but that's our right, same as you have.)
And yes, the hospitality industry is cutting jobs, freezing salary and getting rid of perks for the workers, but so is EVERY other damned industry.
On to his five points...
Okay, now hold on a second. If you're waiting, it could more than a few reasons:
1) You came in on the night shift, and in doing so, they have to charge you another night, since you came in TOO early. That's on a property by property basis of course.
2) You came in after a full night and we're running behind, so our housekeepers are trying their hardest to get the rooms cleaned quickly.
3.) We can't find your reservation (Another reason not to use third parties! They don't always come through!) so we'll usually tell you we'll call you if we think we're wasting your vacation time.
I can say personally, I try not to make people wait. I have done it, but it's usually because of a circumstance out of my control.
We can't help how much the auth is charged, and the part that's bolded in this quote, is what I think is the best bullshit. Every program I've seen that's attached to a hotel, can't be used like this man says. You can apply extra misc TAXES, but Auths are premade and prelocked in the system. Nobody can FREEZE your damned card.
I don't care how you come in looking. A freaking millionaire could be wearing jeans and tshirt. And 99% of my guests are wearing jeans and t-shirts. Be nice to your guests. Now about the view: If your hotel has one, ASK for it. The worst that can happen is the rooms with a view are taken. In my case, it's two shops, an empty hotel, a business center and a high way on all four sides of me. Not much of a view.
No. No no no. This is a person with mental issues that probably shouldn't have been working in hospitality to start with. this doesn't even REFLECT the clerks I know. Trust me, we're so ecstatic when rude people leave, we wouldn't even THINK of bothering them again!
Here's an idea. Look at your bill BEFORE you leave, and ask for a copy (Only way you won't get one: You booked through a third party, and got the receipt in your email.)
Safe warranties, Wi-Fi charges (Which seems unlikely since it's free in 99% of hotels now..), Breakfast is 99% free, but if you think you've been charged incorrectly, call and ask POLITELY to speak to a manager. Managers are the ONLY ones who can refund money once you're checked out. Be nice.
Now, my turn. How to get the best out of your vacation stays:
1. Come in with manners. You don't have to be overly cheery, but since we say please and thank you, could you do it too? It'd make us feel more like people, and less like slaves.
2. Smile. A smile makes us feel relaxed, and we're more likely to work with you.
3. Don't keep problems with the room or your stay til checkout. Give us the chance to get to help you. It's what we're here for.
4. Fill out the surveys in rooms, or ask for a comment card at the desk. Let the hotel know what to change, and what you liked. Most problems are never fixed because we don't get any feedback.
5. If you have a problem with a desk clerk (Nasty attitude, Snide remark or whatever..) Instead of snapping back, ask to speak to the manager in the morning.
6. Remember: Your desk clerk and the staff are people too. We aren't minoins, slaves or there to bend over backwards for things we can't control, but if you treat us like people, you'll get more.
Let me break this down from a hotel clerk's point of view.
If you think your hotel clerk is out to get you, you might be right.
Hotel employees are people, too — people under a lot of pressure. And although you might not have noticed it, there’s a price to be paid for the dirt-cheap hotel rates you’ve seen lately. The lodging industry is cutting staff, freezing salaries and eliminating perks for its workers.
Okay, first off, NOBODY is out to get you. We deal with our customers, even the shitty ones, with a smile (At least until you leave the lobby, then we may say a few choice words under our breath, but that's our right, same as you have.)
And yes, the hospitality industry is cutting jobs, freezing salary and getting rid of perks for the workers, but so is EVERY other damned industry.
On to his five points...
1. Make you wait.
Ever checked into a hotel, only to find your room wasn’t ready? Well, maybe it was ready, but the front-desk employee didn’t like your attitude. “For guests who are rude, drunk or just obnoxious, a clerk may well make them wait,” says Michael Matthews, a retired hotelier in Tucson, Ariz. How long you spend in “time out” depends on the seriousness of their crime, according to people who have experienced the wait (and I include myself among them). It may be a “Have a seat, we’ll be with you in a minute” for someone with a less-than-polite attitude to “Your room is still occupied, what’s your cell phone number?” for something more serious. “Guests really are not aware of the power of a front desk clerk,” adds Matthews.
How to avoid it? Remain calm. Sometimes your room really isn’t ready yet, and it doesn’t mean the hotel employee is necessarily out to get you. If it makes any difference, staying calm will get you into your room faster.
Okay, now hold on a second. If you're waiting, it could more than a few reasons:
1) You came in on the night shift, and in doing so, they have to charge you another night, since you came in TOO early. That's on a property by property basis of course.

I can say personally, I try not to make people wait. I have done it, but it's usually because of a circumstance out of my control.
2. Freeze your credit card.
Hotels routinely place an authorization “hold” on your credit card that equals the full cost of the room nights, tax and an estimate of incidentals. “If the guest were particularly annoying, the clerk could place a huge hold on the card, rendering it unusable for any other purchases,” says David Chen, a hotel executive in Hawaii. He recalls it happening to a honeymooning couple that checked in with the only credit card they had brought along. Once the hotel placed its hold, their card was declined for all other purchases during the stay. “Even calling the merchant provider to release the hold did not fix the problem, because the reversal takes two to five days to work its way through the various provider networks,” he recalls. In that particular case, Chen believes that particular “hold” was unintentional. But others are not.
How to avoid it? Carry a second credit card or debit card. Or bring lots of cash.
We can't help how much the auth is charged, and the part that's bolded in this quote, is what I think is the best bullshit. Every program I've seen that's attached to a hotel, can't be used like this man says. You can apply extra misc TAXES, but Auths are premade and prelocked in the system. Nobody can FREEZE your damned card.
3. Assign you the least desirable room.
That’s probably the easiest way to get back at a guest for being rude or just looking like they don’t belong. Ian Spector was sent down a long hall to one of the worst rooms in the house when he checked in at an upscale hotel in San Diego recently. “I couldn’t help but think that because I was under 30, the check-in staff figured they could put me in the crappy room,” says Spector, a Web developer who was in town for a technology conference. “The in-room bathroom was really cramped and awkward.” Stories like this are the stuff of travel legends: The hotel employees take a look at you and decide you’re in the wrong place, or that they don’t like you, and you’re sent off to Siberia.
How to avoid it? Don’t check into a five-star hotel in a jeans and T-shirt, even if you’re on vacation. And for goodness sakes, be nice to the employees.
I don't care how you come in looking. A freaking millionaire could be wearing jeans and tshirt. And 99% of my guests are wearing jeans and t-shirts. Be nice to your guests. Now about the view: If your hotel has one, ASK for it. The worst that can happen is the rooms with a view are taken. In my case, it's two shops, an empty hotel, a business center and a high way on all four sides of me. Not much of a view.
4. Find an extracurricular way to torture you.
True story: When Margot Chapman checked into a New York hotel recently, she says she “may have rubbed a hotel employee the wrong way” when she complained about the size of her room, which was so small that the bed touched the TV. She was sent to another room, and checked out without incident. “I then was besieged by hundreds of obscene phone calls at my home and office over the next month,” says Chapman, who runs a marketing company in Chicago. The phone calls were traced back to the hotel, which, when confronted with the crime, offered her an apology and a free seven-night stay.
How to avoid it? A polite request made in person is preferable to a phone call, but short of being extra nice, it’s hard to see something like this coming.
No. No no no. This is a person with mental issues that probably shouldn't have been working in hospitality to start with. this doesn't even REFLECT the clerks I know. Trust me, we're so ecstatic when rude people leave, we wouldn't even THINK of bothering them again!
5. Make you pay — literally.
Hotel employees can wreak all kinds of havoc on your guest folio, adding late charges that don’t show up on your bill until after you’ve checked out, or putting in little extras that you assumed were included in the price of your room. “It is not uncommon for rude guests to have to pay for services that others might not have to,” says Webb, the ex-hotel employee. “This includes long-distance calls, the breakfast bar, drinks and food.” Other tricks include manipulating your confirmed room rate or adding unexpected extras, like charges for Internet, the minibar or pay-per-view movies. Rarely are they so overt, though. Usually, it’s something smaller that you discover a few days after you’ve left, like a minor late charge, like breakfast.
How to avoid it? Be nice. Polite guests are far less likely to have “mistakes” like this happen.
In fact, being nice may be the single-best defense against vindictive hotel employees. It works for travelers like Robb Gordon, a mortgage banker from Sedona, Ariz.
Here's an idea. Look at your bill BEFORE you leave, and ask for a copy (Only way you won't get one: You booked through a third party, and got the receipt in your email.)
Safe warranties, Wi-Fi charges (Which seems unlikely since it's free in 99% of hotels now..), Breakfast is 99% free, but if you think you've been charged incorrectly, call and ask POLITELY to speak to a manager. Managers are the ONLY ones who can refund money once you're checked out. Be nice.

I give up.
Friends aren't supposed to block each other out, but that's what you're doing. You've decided that for whatever reason, half a year friendship with my brother, outweighs me coming to you as 8 year friend, and asking NICELY if we could talk. You blew me off, when I wanted to tell you something.
So, since you've literally decided I'm not worth your time, I'll say it here. I've about given up. The only time you want to hang out with me, is when the boys aren't around. And Ya know what, I'm tired of being that last god damn resort of entertainment for you. I'm good to be around when it suits you. You'll pick them, cause it's like your own duo of shopping buddies, but THEY didn't see you through half the shit I have, they don't keep your secrets, and they have blocked you out of their lives and blown you off. I try SOO hard not to let that happen, and yet somehow, you make me feel like the third wheel in my own friendship with you.
Well, enough. When you leave for your vacation, I hope you have fun. When you come back, I won't be here waiting to hang out, I'll be making my own plans to have fun while you're gone, I'll also be sure that 'i can't answer my phone' when you call.
I am SO tired of not getting to do anything with you on my own, but you and the boys can happily leave me out of stuff that I suggested the whole group due. And you don't fucking care! Shopping for a present for my mom for Mother's Day, and helping you find yours. You left me out of that, and thank god I work well on my own, and wasn't COMPLETELY fucking dependent on you.
My birthday.. You forgot about. In 8 years, I haven't forgot your birthday. I invited you and the rest of the group to come hang out. You came, but never looked very happy, except when you got to leave.
I'm done. Screw trying to hang out with you. WHEN you want your fucking friendship back, stop and think, I may not want to be a part of it anymore.

Wee. Work Mods.
I get to take a new 'course' for work. And it's about as much fun as watching chess. the lady's voice is so dull. Though, the first module was 100% done correctly by me :) Yay.
I have to get 80% or higher..
Oh and the narrator keeps repeating, "You are Super 8. You are Super!" >.< It's like my Graduation speech all over again. "We did it guys!" over and over..

Well hell
The asshole pled not guilty at his hearing yesterday. Really? Cause.. proof and logic say you're guilty as sin.
And he even put in a request to have a charge lowered to a lesser charge. If that happens, the douchebag will get probation. What about this is fair? No matter what happens, if he comes near me, I'll make his head spin with how quick I'll dial a cop to get him away.
