you should know these things, Dave

I keep picturing him talking to HAL9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey. "Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? Dave, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question....Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this....My mind is going. I can feel it." Yeah, creepy.

Count me in, too! And I thought I was the only one... Seriously, Dave, I am endlessly entertained by your posts, but I don't understand why you don't quit.

[Anakah]

I sincerely hope they pay you decently because of all the BS you put up with. I'd have cracked a LONG time ago. You must have a LOT of patience!

Believe it or not, my BEST vacation I ever had gave me a black eye, a sand-burned (you know, the kind that takes your skin off?) shoulder, and six cactus prickers in the back of my knee and one in my finger. But damn did I ever have the time of my LIFE on that vacation. Certainly not perfect, but as close as I could get.

[MergedLoki]

Wow... I didn't know jellyfish could be managers.

No vacation is "perfect". That lady is in for a WORLD of disappointment.

A vacations only ruined if u LET it be ruined.

I went to Vegas in the spring... I won NOTHING. I was out $3000 when I got back home (thats not just gambling, it's food/hotel/gifts for friends etc.) but still. do i wish I hadn't spent so much? Sure. but did me and my friend have a blast. you bet. it rocked.

although after reading Daves post... hmm.. I feel like I might cry knowing that fern I saw was only pruned TWICE a month and not 3 times.. BOO HOO. lol

seriously Dave, I've read your posts and i've gotta go with what alot of people on this board are saying.. how do you not quit your job? or (option B). kill all your customers!!!

[Ironclad Alibi]

Guest: what kind of grass?

It's the best kind of grass.

Wow... I didn't know jellyfish could be managers.

I take you haven't been here long? The rare managers are the ones that aren't jellyfish.

The best vacation is a staycation.

Amen to that. Those have always been my favorite.

[Dawnchaser]

The best vacation is a staycation.

Agreed!

My husband and I tend to get a lot of vacation time but with our financial situation can usually only leave town perhaps once or twice a year, within the state...and then maybe every 2-3 years go to Vegas or Seattle or someplace.

But honestly, even though it's good to get out of the house now and then...if I were a millionaire I would still probably just enjoy staying home, ordering in, and doing whatever I want - WoW, watch TV, D&D, board games, whatever, more than actually going somewhere.

I am weird I know.

I would still take the opportunity to travel and see the world, and it would be enjoyable...but ultimately for pure relaxation, it's all about staying home for me.

Sounds like the road trip the hubs and I went on after I graduated high school. We got up every day, each picked out a place on the map, and flipped a coin to see where we'd go. Best four weeks of my life.

That sounds like an awesome time. I always wish I had taken a year off after high school to travel - I would have had the time, the energy and the money to do something like this. And the pure randomness of this sort of trip really appeals to me.

"Just what do you think you're doing, Dave? Dave, I really think I'm entitled to an answer to that question....Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this....My mind is going. I can feel it."

Yeah! Me three! I always think of this voice when I read his posts - I imagine it's the same evil entity that Dave has to battle for his soul.

So basically Dave... what your manager really needs to do is create a Holodeck program... Then ship each holodeck to potential guests and let them try out the houses.

Just wait... someone will demand it!

Or at least a desk-top version of the hologram
with all seasons shown, day and night
and then they will ask why you can't create the snow in the summer for them...

Yeah, creepy.

I hear that voice every time I read VRS's posts.

I hate to think how this woman behaved around her wedding.

If I spent my entire life(or part of it) worrying about a path or a tree, I think I'd have more serious issues that no vacation could cure. The point of a vacation is to let loose, go with the flow. Not worry about a tree which at the slightest breeze could release a leaf and destroy your perfect vacation. Or fret over a path so you could spend hours deciding which shoes would let you walk most comforably on it. Dang!!

Me, too. XD Hal's voice is perfect for all these EWs.

I'm starting to get really irritated at how all of your customers call you by name and they ALWAYS use it when they are letting you know how displeased they are.

I would have started laughing when the caller asked how often the tree was pruned. I'm sure every hotel/resort/whatever know the exact date when the landscaping crew mows the lawn, trims trees, etc.
