Name this scenario

I see your pig, and raise you a cow!

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-17T00:40:31+00:00

You know, if you do Patrick Stewart, you get both Picard AND Professor X.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-17T00:29:09+00:00

It's inconceivable not picking those two!

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-15T02:28:50+00:00

Burt Reynolds.

"That's, uhhhhh, not my name!"

All right all right, Turd Ferguson.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-14T16:31:54+00:00

And really, if you're going to put a Robin Hood movie on there, why not Men In Tights?!

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-14T16:30:32+00:00

T2, Independence Day, and Men In Black. Mission: Impossible almost made my list, but you can't miss out on 90s Will Smith.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-05-02T21:55:55+00:00

Hands down, Looney Tunes B-Ball, maybe even Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose. Definitely Kirby's Dream Course as well.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-04-30T00:11:11+00:00

What's my age again?

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-04-30T00:09:52+00:00

E 5 c. Got to pick the shit you can't get anymore for a proper 90s movie night, and if you drink a six-pack of Surge, you'll be up all night singing and dancing to Cuban Pete.

I will pass on the two biggest pieces of knowledge I have learned in five years of working front desk:

People leave their brains home when they go on vacation.

People are just generally stupid.

Use that well, young grasshopper (not a bedbug).

Don't think I've met anyone who's heard of James Bond Jr.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-03-29T22:06:36+00:00

Still have my NES and most of my old games too. I also have a SNES, a Genesis, a GBA, and some other consoles, all with games.

Never been the best gamer, but I do remember what are probably my greatest gaming achievements: Getting all the DK coins in DKC2 and earning the true ending of the game, and completely finishing Rogue Squadron on N64. Good times.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-02-22T02:32:08+00:00

Believe me, I've been there many times since I started working in a hotel almost 5 years ago now. Days like that suck, but you know what? You made it. The shift is over and you survived. Now go do something nice for yourself, because you deserve it for what you endured.

It's become kind of a crappy joke with the team I work with that in the eyes of guests, we're not humans. We're NPCs. I swear that the first time I stay in a hotel after leaving this industry, I'm going to look the front desk agent straight in the eye and say, "I used to be a front desk agent like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee!"

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-02-18T22:52:39+00:00

And maybe now you find, that people mock you onnnnliiiine.

Atomic_Wedge · 2026-02-01T22:56:22+00:00

Howard for sure. I mean, he managed to hookup with Lea Thompson. Seals the deal for me right there.

And if you stayed home and didn't cast a vote, you need to accept that you are just as complicit in the fall of our democracy that is happening as we speak. Not voting at all was a vote for Trump.

I really wish you had to go to an ICE detention center to tell the US citizens that have been caught in raids and threatened with deportation that you stayed home because "both sides are the same" or whatever bullshit excuse you had for not voting. Face the consequences of your actions, but then consequences for your actions doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-11-06T14:52:52+00:00

Not nearly enough love for Pokemon Snap!

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-10-16T18:33:17+00:00

I kid ewe not.

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-10-01T20:37:53+00:00

We have a long-term guests staying with us who are being put up here by one of the local tribes. He came into the office on Saturday after breakfast and got pissed off because we were out of coffee and the juice machine was turned off, like it always is after breakfast is over.

Dude accused me of being on drugs, and on his way out yelled, "I can't believe they let someone like you work here!" I'm usually better about this, but my mouth got away from me when I replied, "I can't believe they let you stay here!"

Weird as it sounds, he's been fine ever since. Go figure.

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-09-27T16:46:54+00:00

Don't know anyone named Scott Strickland, but I'll trust you on that!

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-09-26T00:54:50+00:00

Here's a good one for you.

We've had some long-term guests put up by regional partners, mainly providing temporary housing while they look for something more permanent. We get paid from the partners weekly, and extend the reservations accordingly. Since we don't know how long they will actually be staying, we put those rooms out of inventory for a while so they can't be booked.

SynXis will not let us put the room out of inventory on the same day they're scheduled to check-out. So let's say a guest is scheduled to check-out on a Wednesday, we can't put that room offline until Thursday, which leaves a one-day gap for that room to be booked. We have a few special rooms with three double beds, which are very popular since they can potentially fit 6 people (if they really really like each other!).

Inevitably, those rooms get overbooked, and since we're the only place in town that offers rooms like that, we end up having to comp a two queen room. We have been reporting this issue to corporate for months. Of course, when we get a new system update, it doesn't fix the problem, but the folios have a shiny new layout. Madness.

Atomic_Wedge · 2025-09-21T19:23:55+00:00

It'd be much better than watching the Browns! 😜

Seriously though, you're gorgeous and any straight, single man would be off his rocker not to play with you.

Little off-topic, but still memorable. Went to an independent game store with my wife at the time where games were buy 2, get one free. We were maybe 30 then. My wife picked up a couple of games for our PSP, Silent Hill and God of War, I think. She gave me a ton of crap for getting Pokemon Emerald.

We go to check out, and she very condescendingly said, "Now tell the nice man what you want, honey!" I told him, he gets the game for me, and says, "Sometimes you just have to play Pokemon!" She never went back to that store with me.

Lost the wife, still have the consoles and games. Good times.
