Hotel Olympics

"If this is your first time hearin' this...You are about to experience something so Kold, man..." Kanye

I'm back, you miss me? Prolly not, well I'm here to scratch that itch of humor for the day. I apologize for not posting yesterday. I had to do some volunteer hour for school and thought this was one of the best ops for me to do so. So with out further ado hear we go (go), just kidding that was funny and you know it !

So 'yessaday' as my mechanic from Virgina would say was nothing but me serving the commmunity and reppin' my current school in the hotel olympics. I was a judge/offical and I laughed about 205x approximately. So the gay activities director at my school picked us all up in the school van at school and took us to the Philadelphia Convention center. Now this event didn't start 'til 2:30pm and we were there at like 9:30 and set up was over in 1/2 hour. So I sat around and awaited this highly anticipated event. So they offer us lunch and all the black folk including myself attact the meat platter and start picking. It was like vultures on dead carcas. It looked typical like black people ain't ate in like 4 days. The token white girl was in that joint to... knowing she wanted extra mayonaise.

So the teams (local hotels) start arriving like a parade... hooting and hollering and playing music coming into the convention center. I'm amazed that so many people are amped about their hotel jobs (but its just like college without a degree, pro sports without millions of dollars and me being the greatest blog writer without people reading this). Its the competive side and I read in my human resource class at both schools that stuff like this boost morale. So picture the bell hops, maids, security, pool attendant, front desk clerk and the guy Moe with a wrench who can fix a broken toilet with a napkin(oldschool).

The first event was the pie eating contest... this has absolutley nothing to do with hotel it was just to see who can mush their face in a pie the longest. Now the guy I was watching took my advice and got on his knees (pause)(This lady in our office just farted and she never says excuse me). My dude won off of my advice and finsihed 3 pies in 7 min I think. Mofos started bumrushing the stage and yelling I felt like security at a rap concert.

So after all these ex-drug addicts (Dear Jesus forgive me for saying that...), got at out of all that they marched to the competiotion areas. Now all the games were hotel related now except mine (we'll get to that). There was the blindfolded bed making, toilet bowl cleaning or something, room service, and bell hop racer. Then there was fajita toss and bocce ball and all this other stuff like Hotel Idol where they had someone from their hotel sing and they got voted on(i SHOULD HAVE JUDGED THAT). So my game was the second to last game and one of the deciding games of the contest.

Now its called financial trouble, the rules are simple: put on those DUI goggles, spin around a bat 10x, and answer 4 math questions. Okay remember these are the people who cleaned up your vomit from the wild night out in Miami. So one of the math problems was 128/4. I don't know that sh*t if I didn't spin around but some people got it right. One lady came in drunk cuz I smelled the Mad dog 20/20 on her breath she spinned around 5x and I damn near died. Another lady was right down the time keepers number:1001, 1002,1003, 1004. She actully put that on her sheet. ADD has spread rampid thruout America. So another lady has dislexia and put everything backwards. Me and my boy Will thought that there was going to be a fight. One dude got mad at me because he didn't understand the rules. The main judge did all the talking and I just counted the spins... He got real animated, I would hate to have to lat out the guy who parks my car at the hotel but I felt the urge at one point.

But the person who got me was the guy who was alloted the power and started delagating but when shit went down he took over like he parted the Red Sea. So his fruity booty ass was taking my job and I laughed because he was super extra. So the day ends, I steal a pie they didn't use because they was giving them away. They then ask us to clean up... I begon to think there are like 50 maids here. get them to work! But as fate prevails they let us go. And The one thing I learned yesterday was that hotels workers are animated and the only way I'm going to compete for my job is if there is an incentive for winning.

Have a safe holiday and remember turkey is good deep fried. Stay blessed.
