So here I am sitting around at work, messing on the computer. NCAA march madness south regional 1 block away. Its quiet! All the fans have gone to bed/passed out, The hotel has a eerie echo to it. Which is strange being it is a new hotel.
Tomorrow the hotel will be as close to empty as I have seen in recent memory. Easter time and all the spring breakers go home. Spring training is done, and life gets back to normal for a while again.
My games are going on as usual, my life is too. There are many attacking others in the threads as usual, but nothing standing out. Its as though nothing has really happened over the past few hours.
My co-worker is on his laptop, playing his games. I am using log me in to access mine just so I can come here and type a bunch of rambling statements. I had a multitude of games that needed moves, but now there is just 2 that keeps going. I know, slow down, play less, improve rating. I just want to play games.
I have 2 more hours at work. The night is getting longer. I am truly looking forward to getting out of here. Nights like this make me wish I could just up and leave. Alas I can't. I brought my co-worker to work with me and now I must wait out the day so that I may take him home.
Did you ever have nights like this? Nights you knew were going to be extremely long? Where nothing was going to keep your mind entertained? Nights you wish someone would drive through the wall, just so you have something to do? This is one of those nights for me. To laid back. to long. To wearing on the mind. To much too.

Soon enough, it'll be 24/7 at the nursing home... (Hi KJ! Nothing is true, everything is permissable 😉 )

Originally posted by pawnhandlerI actually liked working those late hours. Right after college, I worked in the ICU of a psychiatric hospital. Sometimes, I had to work overnight. It was (usually) very quite and peaceful. Really nice...especially if there was snow outside.

Lonely people inhabit the night. The night is full of pain. Those who suffer wait for the dawn, and then they realize the pain will not go away. The world is all pain. For everything that lives, something must die. And believe me, death is not like in the movies. Its not pretty. And yet, we all must face it. The night just makes some of us more aware. Hurry the dawn ?

It is interesting to see how many responses a rambling thread seems to have gotten. I merely posted a thread out of sheer boredom. Not due to pain, or ICU or any other silly comment.
I actually enjoy my job. Where else can one see people with more money than sense make a total fool out of themselves in the middle of the night?
I have 1 guest that stays at my hotel extremely regularly. I won't mention names though, but he is there 3/4 of a month every month. Stay in our presidential suite every time he is there. This suite costs him $600.00 every night. This is $12,000.00 a month before taxes. Then comes the lounge charges. These total near $1,500.00 tfor his stay. We get to see him sober twice on each stay. The moment he arrives, and the moment he leaves. It is almost hysterical to watch him trying to pick up women at our bar. Most nights not even close to landing one. Almost always laughed at by the women. What makes this even sadder is he is able to afford this every single month.
There is a fairness factor here I am missing, isn't there.
Really, nothing to see here, caring on folks......
