this was prolly me

Sounds like they are trying to turn the tables and out-^^HOOS^^ you.

haha

-"otm bro :)"

-"you are a saintly saintly man"

just now

-"you a great man. you are a great asset to this company."

:))))))))))))))))))))

hoos someone actually took a cookie from you then said "you a great man. you are a great asset to this company."?

sorry but this is even harder to believe than your high school stories

I believe it was actually "You're a great man. You are a great asset to this company."

Homie people get mad amped about a hot cookie when they've been travelling for 9 hours or whatever, dead serious.

i dont know what kind of bizarro-world high school you went to, deez, but hoos's stories from that time are some of the easiest shit to believe that i've ever encountered in my life

(what is a doubletree cookie?!)

HOOS works at Doubletree hotel.

I stayed in a Doubletree last weekend. I did not receive any cookies. Hoos, you slippin'.

Hoos: you not one smart cokkie

courtesy of silly jilly

I had to lock some old church ladies out of their room for some bullshit accounting stuff and felt like an asshole. Then these old church ladies showed up ready to wail on me. Key line:

"I'ma lose my religion and go secular on you, boy"

<3 <3 <3

tell me u gave them cookies

hell yes i gave them cookies

hoos there's a torrent with recipes and one of them is the double tree cookie recipe and i thought of you

XD

"I'ma lose my religion and go secular on you, boy"

good gawd!!!

...and thanking you muchly!!!

did you appease them with cookies?

did you do them

they did go secular, max

HOOS did their credit card get declined or something?

yeah they paid w/business check that was $100 short and the card on file declined

dunno why the fuck my people let them in the room with a short check and no cc

guys...

HOOS has "people"

like i felt bad about locking them out cause aw church ladeez & shit but come on fd people that's super basic cover-your-own-ass stuff no matter the puppy eye circumstances

yeah i got promoted + a raise and have people now btw so that's cool i guess

aww lil hooslets

congrats on the people hoos!!!

congrats, hoos.

more tales of old church ladies losing their religion and getting all secular on your ass would be appreciated.

take it to the Church, hoos!

thakig yall <3 <3

now i gotta get ready for the madness

me:"Well sir I'd probably have the cabbie take you to 6th and Red River"
me:"Red River, is that like for all the women on the period?"
me:"......"
me:"I made a joke, Red River, is that like for on the period, you know?"
me:"Right...."
me:"Not a very good joke..."

that was a dialog with some foreign dude i c/pd from AIM, hence the "me:" on every line

you should have changed half of the "me's" to "foreign dude" so it would be less confusing

yes thank you

hoos:"Well sir I'd probably have the cabbie take you to 6th and Red River"
gr8080:"Red River, is that like for all the women on the period?"
hoos:"......"
gr8080:"I made a joke, Red River, is that like for on the period, you know?"
hoos:"Right...."
gr8080:"Not a very good joke..."

^^i fixed it

gr8080:"Not a very good joke..."

Best case scenario for BLAP is you're hitting it hard from behind, all BLAP BLAP BLAP, and you don't need the prettiest girl for that, you need the girl that brings it RAW. Raw like, you want the neighbors to be reaching for the Lysol after you're done blapping that.

You guys there was a staff meeting today. We are building a NEW CULTURE here at the Doubletree. We have a new mission statement: people visit our hotel because they have a dream, and it is our mission to help turn their sweet dreams into remarkable realities.

To reflect this new culture we will be using a new names for familiar areas of the hotel. These areas, btw, will now be known as REALITY ENHANCING ZONES.

The REALITY ENHANCING ZONES include:

--The Fitness Center, now to be referred to as the PERSONAL REALITY ENHANCEMENT CENTER

--The Business Center, now to be referred to as the WORK REALITY ACHIEVEMENT CENTER

--Guest Rooms (where they sleep), now to be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERS

--The Breakfest Buffet, now to be referred to as the MORNING REALITY JUMPSTART PROGRAM

--Housekeepers will be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERMAIDS

--Guest Service Reps like myself will now be DREAM WEAVERS

boss in meeting today: "its like we just got back from iraq and now they're telling us we're going to afghanistan in a tinfoil armoured reality vehicle"

oh my god

We've been under renovation for the last two years basically--jackhammering, painting, carpet, the whole shabang--and it's been a nightmare. We've been punching bags all day every day. And now they're like AY PUNCHING BAGS YALL READY FOR SOME KICKBOXING

and we're like WE ARE PUNCHING BAGS HOW CAN WE KICKBOX

The REALITY ENHANCING ZONES include:

--The Fitness Center, now to be referred to as the PERSONAL REALITY ENHANCEMENT CENTER

--The Business Center, now to be referred to as the WORK REALITY ACHIEVEMENT CENTER

--Guest Rooms (where they sleep), now to be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERS

--The Breakfest Buffet, now to be referred to as the MORNING REALITY JUMPSTART PROGRAM

--Housekeepers will be referred to as DREAM CHAMBERMAID --Guest Service Reps like myself will now be DREAM WEAVERS

Wait - seriously? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. On the other hand I sort of already view you as a dream weaver Hoos so maybe it's not that ridiculous afterall.

hoos i think u should consider a lateral career move into the dream chambermaid position?

i believe that if you weave a dream about it you can kickbox your way to the morning light.

hoos this is the funniest thing ever

I seriously can't get over "Dream Weavers".

steeeeeeeeeeeeendriver i believe you can get me through the niiii-hiiiiiight

oh and i skipped the lobby, now to be referred to as the SOCIAL VIRTUAL REALITY CENTER

I just can't get over how much that shit reads like a parody of half-baked corporate culturizing. BUT IT'S REAL. :/

do people really visit the doubletree because they have a dream? i think the premise is flawed

i was wondering about that too.

yeah i don't think this is what mlk jr was talking about

examples given as dreams
-to get the job they're interviewing for
-to see their team win the game
-to rekindle a business or personal relationship

i wouldn't put it past kubla khan to turn the doubletree into a stately pleasure-dome reality center.

I was bitching at my boss last week about how shitty this all is and "goddammit can't they wait a month to dump more bullshit on me I'm in some real shit in my real life right now I ain't need to be worrying about losing my job because I forgot to mention that we turn sweet dreams into remarkable fucking realities"

But it hit me today--this is the perfect time for this to come down the pipe. I'm rebooting my whole goddamn life right now, why shouldn't I reevaluate my attitude towards my work and my workplace? I hate my job and I hate where I work? Why the fuck shouldn't I dive the fuck in and help transform this into a place where I want to work? I want to be able to hit up service industry night at some shitty club and tell a dude I work at the Doubletree on MLK and for him to say "Oh I hear that place is dope!" And

No, after two years of jackhammering, I don't really have it in me to bring my game at 11. It sounds ridiculous to say this but this is really the most emotionally taxing job I've ever had: having to maintain cordiality in the face of daily verbal abuse has just been killing me, and my ex used to wonder why I would just come home from work and open a beer and fall asleep.

I'm sick of that. So fuck it. Yes I am in. I want to make this a better place to work and I will wear a fucking spacesuit if that gets me there. It's corny and stupid and I am fucking IN.

service industry night at some shitty club

i think its always gonna be super awkward to say "sweet dreams" after i set somebody's wakeup call though

RS says you have to be making this up.

Sweet dreams? Really?

dead serious

the whole 'sweet dreams' thing is doubletree's marketing tagline, so this consultant rolled in and is just blowing it the fuck up into our corporate mission statement

I'm still at the point where I say "Sweet dreams" and then immediately hang up because I'm horrified at how they might react

I wouldn't know what to say but would probably just say "you too" out of habit which would make it even more awkward.

btw its the time of night where i'm setting all of these right now so i've done like a dozen in the last 5 minutes

http://mtceuropavideo.com/chambermaidsdream.jpg

Michel Lemoine and Elizabeth Tessier are as professional as possible under the circumstances in A Chambermaid's Dream. Tessier is the chambermaid, Lemoine her employer. When the house is empty, the maid fantasizes about her master. And then, one day, he comes home early. This soft-core exercise holds few surprises; still, the photography is excellent, even in the "sraight", non-erotic scenes. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

real talk

hoos this is probably your greatest thread ever, i hope youre taking copious notes cuz u cd write a motherfuckin book about this shit

im still reeling over ransom duce--havent even processed big hoos aka the dreamweaver

hey baby want to come up to my dream chamber

u r all not really believing this nomenclature hoos is dreamweaving here r u

i'm into it, this dreamenclature is totally enhancing my personal reality zone

i believe that hoos believes that this nomenclature is coming from the top--the more likely scenario is that the 'consultant' who rolled in is actually just a high-stakes con man looking to make a quick buck scamming some texan hoteliers--only to fall in love with a beautiful dream-bermaid & make a last-ditch effort 2 save the hotel after revealing his deception & realizing that he can no longer live a life of lies

similar to the musical "the music man"

bermaid

is that like a mermaid but she swims in beer, not water?

no its like a chambermaid, but "maid" of dreams

"maid" of dream-bers

the dream-bers of a slowly dying fire

beautiful dream-bermaid = hoos, save the hotel = eat all the cookies

this is the kind of halfassed laughable exercize that if leaked would cause the company's stock to go down

hyperbaric chambermaid

ha doubletree is private, scratch that. still, this is really amazing. i can't believe companies are still pulling this stuff

The Fitness Center, now to be referred to as the PERSONAL REALITY ENHANCEMENT CENTER

^^ tbh if i were a guest this would probably confuse me to the point of frustration like "WHERE THE HELL IS THE GYM"

WHERE IN THE SPIRITUAL REALITY PUNISHMENT CENTER IS THE PERSONAL REALITY ENHANCEMENT CENTER

haha yeah my guess is this is some kind of consultancy snowjob done with 0 real input from the public. nobody would agree to have their hotel room called a "dream chamber"

u guys hoos made this up

I want to reserve space at Doubletree but only if they'll agree to call it the "hot monkey luv chamber" instead of "dream chamber" while I'm there.

hoosultancy snowjob, 0 real input from ilx

I should clarify guys: we're franchised, not corporate. We're owned by a small upstart out of Cali and we're their first full-service property, so they're sort of learning as they go. I don't think Hilton Corporate would ever truck with this shit.

And apparently these tactics have worked before! They're bringing dude in because as GM of another property in Austin he took some Marriott from #10 to #1 in its comp set using tactics like these. And he's apparently putting it all on the line: word from the bossman is that if we don't start seeing turnaround in 6 weeks he doesn't get paid.

is dude's name Dreamweaver

He wants us to wear foam cowboy hats on football game days and shit its n/n/l

hoos if i move to austin can i join this burgeoning dream movement

its a movement baby

omfg A+++++++++++++++

where does fuckin w/ magic enter this dreamscape

I've actually re-pitched it to my new boss. They're all about looking for ways to make this place more memorable and interesting for guests and I feel this would be a dope way to do it. I'm rusty as I haven't fucked w/magic in about 6 months after the last attempt fell apart, but I could get back up to snuff without too much effort.

excellent!

Doubletree Hotels, Suites, Resorts and Clubs present a chocolate chip cookie to each guest at check-in. Synonymous with Doubletree hospitality, the cookie has been used to differentiate the Doubletree hotel brand from its competition.

Doubletree gives out approximately 29,000 chocolate chip cookies each day, and a total of over 125,000,000. Each cookie weighs a 2½ ounces and has an average of 20 chocolate chips. The cookies are currently manufactured by The Christie Cookie company. In June 2002, Doubletree gave its 100,000,000th cookie.

Dude interrupts my phone greeting:

"Justin stop. Stop. You have turned my sweet dream into a remarkable nightmare."

I gotta tell you, if I had a hotel being all "sweet dreams" at me I'd probably make a complaint - I mean it sounds crepey! WTF management.

not if it was a steen dreem

No doubt! I no longer say "Sweet dreams" to people I'm setting the wakeup call for. I feel gross just saying it.

xp

i would lie on the bed with my shoes on eating the chocolate chip cookie and jeering about suggest dreams between chomps.

suggest dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

in order to burn off the calories from 1 doubletree cookie you'd have to run 2.5 miles

maths prove that god exists, and hates fairness

"you are a champion of men, sir"

was there a ren faire in town?

nah this dude was just weird

sideburns that protruded an inch from his face like some kind of face fro

does this mean you have to fight orcs? i think it might.

i'd be down for that

smash them across the face with my keyb

you and peter jackson have the same attitude to tolkien, is what i'm hearing

Every single time Hilton come into my office to promote their product, they give everyone a Doubletree cookie (followed by a long spiel about why they give out Doubletree cookies). I always say "well, I had a client that really enjoyed their stay at the Hilton South Wharf Melbourne."

The Sweet Dreams (R) concept is catching on, I see:

HOOS, how do you intend to boost your self-esteem now that you'll no longer be receiving a hundred facile compliments a day from people you don't even know over foodstuffs you didn't even bake?

I'm worried about you, bro, and I hope you have plenty of puppies to hug in your dark, cookieless hour.

Had my yearly review today. My manager told me she was going to give me 4.5/5 on supplier relations until I reminded her that no Hilton reps had given me a Doubletree cookie in months. So she bumped me up to 5/5, which she should have done in the first place! Considering that I spent a night at a Crowne Plaza a couple weeks ago and they fed me steak!

i am at the doubletree i used to work at. i am stealing the wireless. no one i know is working and i have gone unrecognized.

i just had a doubletree cookie.

the front desk guy said "i like your hair, man"

there has to be somewhere you can steal wireless from where you don't run that risk. they may not have cookies tho.

doubletree truck went by the gawker offices today to give out free cookies

RIP

???

HOOS please explain!

lol i just haven't worked @ this job in like 2 years and i miss the simple joy of makin someone's day with a cookie

awwww

baking people cookies is one of the great joys of being human, and you don't have to be denied that experience just because you no longer work for some bigass hotel chain.

(although maybe strangers would get suspicious if you stood on a street corner peddling free doubleSTEEN cookies as a way of enticing them to lodge with you for the night)

lol
