rkwsuperstar wrote:Superstar rant: I've mentioned before about our IT person and how she complains about the hotel room she is booked for her travel to Amarillo. She really only wants to stay in the Holiday Inn Express, because she's trying to earn points for a free room, and she really only wants to stay in one particular HIE. That hotel, however, is no longer contracted with the state, so we don't get the discounted rooms that we are required to use. The other 2 HIE in Amarillo are constantly booked and never have any state rate rooms available, so I just have to choose another hotel. Literally every time she has gone and not stayed at a HIE, she comes back complaining about how terrible it was and telling me that I am NEVER to book her into that room again. One hotel it was that she saw a bug in the lobby. Another hotel smelled like chlorine due to the indoor pool (which the HIE has, by the way, so what's the difference?). Another hotel gave her a room that wasn't clean enough and then took 2 hours to send someone to her room with new batteries for the remote. And yet another was that it was too far away from the Amarillo center (15 minutes, almost exactly as far as our center is from Supesville) and she didn't have time to eat breakfast. So, when I booked her this time, I asked her what hotel since the HIE didn't have any state rate rooms. She tells me just pick one, she didn't really care. Yea right. I just got an IM from my counterpart in Amarillo, that the IT person showed up at the center, raving about how she refuses to stay at the hotel that I booked her into because the door is open to the public. Whatever that means. And she canceled her reservation there. The person in Amarillo has spent 30 minutes (about how long I spent finding her this hotel last week) calling around to find a room. Finally got permission from the administrator to pay more for the room, and got a supervisor at the HIE to give them a room for a discount (still not as low at the state rate). Which means that this bitch is going to expect this from now on.
I plan to speak to my boss (who is also her boss) about this, and let him know that I think she needs to book her own hotel rooms from now on. I shouldn't have to spend a half hour looking hotels up on mapquest to see how far from the center they are because she won't stay more than 10 minutes away) and then listening to her crazy rantings about how terrible her FREE stay at a hotel was. Damn.
Rant over. Might have some chocolate.

None of this would have happened had you taken my advice about the bear.
My sympathies to you nonetheless.

At least they're not prairie oysters.
