The only time I like going to work laately is when SD is visiting and that's only because it's less stressful to be at work than at home.

My job? Security for a motel in a shady city. The kind of place where the locals think it's a good place to party cuz it's cheap. There is a large mix of guests from junkies and hookers to families vacationing on a budget and people with pets cuz we are one of the only pet friendly places in the area.

Some of the things I deal with on a regular basis...junkies OD'ing, hookers rolling their johns, obnoxious pet people who are in town for a cat/dog show, drunks..LOTS of drunks, people who think it is ok to leave their windows open while walking around their rooms naked, men who whip out their junk and pee in the parking lot RIGHT OUTSIDE THEIR ROOM, angry guests who for some reason were expecting 4 star quality for a 1 star price (how security is to blame for this is beyond me), tons of skunks all around the place that are attracted to the garbage idiots toss right outside the door to their room, etc... We are also the place Red Cross puts victims of home destruction (fire, flood, etc...) and quite often these people are later found to have destroyed their homes themselves. Also, we get a lot of people hiding out from abusive partners. Now that last one would be fine except 99% of the time these (mostly) women call their abusers to come stay with them and then play dumb when they have to call the cops because they got beat again claiming to not know how the abuser found them even though we have phone records that prove they called them from the motel.

I do have some great stories from working here and all this stupid stuff used to amuse me but I'm just gettiing tired of the crap. Some of it is still funny though...like sneaking up on guys when they are peeing in the parking lot and scaring them so bad they pee all over themselves. I don't think that will ever get old.

Once there was a pregnant hooker (at least 7 months) here with her friend. They brought a guy back to their room from a bar, got him naked and tried to take off with his wallet. They did not expect that he would chase them out into the lot while naked but he damn sure did. Imagine my surprise when I hear the comotion and come around the corner to find this naked guy on top of one girl while the pregnant girl is screaming at him to get off her friend. Then the guy runs back into the room, gets dressed, then comes out screaming at ME about how he's calling the BBB to report the motel and that we are all in on it from the front desk to security.

Just last night we had about a dozen members of a fire department several towns away staying here for some reason. They came back at 1:30am completely trashed. Most of them were young guys (early-mid 20's) but they were there with an older guy. They were all wearing their fire dept tshirts and the old guys said he was the fire chief. So the chief drove here drunk, ran over a curb and some sprinkler heads, turned his siren on while behind another guest (who was also drunk) who was checking in because he "was in his way" and became beligerant with me when I asked him to quiet down and move his crew inside their rooms. It took a couple of hours of repeatedly yelling at them to go inside and be quiet before they finally settled down. Oh, and the drunk guy the chief harassed with his siren peed himself in the lobby while checking in.

Last night was the turning point in me hating my job. It's just not that funny any more. The fire chief acting worse and being such an irresponsible influence with his young and impressionable crew. I mean really, if you are going to be a bunch of assholes at least have enough damn sense not to wear your fire dept tshirts. I will be calling the town first thing Monday.

After the potty incident with DH yesterday I am in a big ass man hating mood. God help the Bachelor party that's staying here tonight, I have the police on speed dial and I'm not putting up with any more crap.
