I'm guessing from that you work for a hotel? :p

Two solutions: change the weather or kick-start the economy. I can't see much else you could do.

Sadly it's the wrong time of year for the tourist industry; and almost every business is making economies so you'll probably see an increase in teleconferencing, plus more companies using cheaper hotels or B&Bs for staff who must travel.

Can you get any other part-time work to supplement your income? :)

[Hazell B]

Maybe the hotel's fully booked but they're trying to tell you something ;)

[Mark]

maybe the hotel should reduce their prices. Ps I am writing this in a hotel.

If they reduce their rate, perhaps we can type at length.

I'm looking for somewhere else to work, they do not treat me right anyway. The hotel isn't full trust me

[Hazell B]

The hotel isn't full trust me

Appears it's not the only thing empty .......

[lilmelvschilton]

They're also licensed, so can't just take anyone on.
As it happens I'm at an auction tonight for bankrupt goods. Jewellery, mainly, from a shop that went bust. Cartier watches, without reserve, was too good to miss :D

[lilmelvschilton]

cool.....

You're thinking of bailiffs. Debt collectors can, and do, recruit anybody they like - usually one of the highest staff turnover industries because the conditions are so bad.

[Hazell B]

I thought speedy meant bailiffs, but you're right.

I wouldn't do either job. Too dangerous :down:

[lilmelvschilton]

yeah very true
