The countdown to closure.

Well, its under a month now. Good old Pinkish hell is closing the pink entry for 8 months on June 1st. 26 years of this stuff is gonna seem not-so-bad.




I am full of shit.


Management has embarked on a amazing way of proving that intelligence is a earned commodity. With every passing day they amaze me. We have 555 rooms. We have 24 hour in-room dining. We have a ocean front fine dining restaurant.

We have morons running the show.

Suited ones have cut staff (gee, think they are trying to save on unemployment pay?) Nooooooooooo. Workers have started having frequent "at work" accidents. The plans call for eliminating part of the restaurant, and making the bar bigger, and creating a tropical lagoon pool area.

Didnt they notice the huge freaking Pacific? I mean, it is right there. Of course, they cant know what the staffing will be for the new locations...Duh! Hmmmmm. Wonder if it'll be less? Or the fact that a bar creates more revenue than a restaurant, with more tables turned, etc. Lower overhead and all that bottom line shit.

The little hitler that is the Food & Bev manager staffs 1 waiter for Room service. 1. As in singular.

Its a 500 room Hotel. SUPPOSEDLY 4 star.

There is a cloud or 2 blocking that star rating, I reckon.

But i did go surfing this morning.

Kinda like staying at a Holiday Inn, only wetter.

Aloha.

There is a dearth of folks smarter than management suffering under bone-heads. It'll wear you out if you let it.

Where you're concerned, the wetter the better, my friend. I wish you good surfing, and good opportunities.

Okay I'm confused, does this mean that they are closing the pink for eight months in order to structure this new lagoon pool area? Does this mean you will actually get an eight month break from the nauseating pink? Or do they always close for eight months every year?

It's okay, I live confused, and it's only the brief moments of lucidity that really muff with me.

Hopefully you get to take an 8 month break and enjoy KJ and surf, and perhaps heal up some more. Somehow I know you won't, so I'll just say that no matter where you go they'll be lucky to have you!
