Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Finally nearing the end of Octopath Traveler (or at least to where I need to grind like a madman). Completed Olberic, Cyrus, and Ophilia's storylines, and I turned it off for the night during Tressa's. Tomorrow will likely be me finishing up the stories completely and then grinding my heart out until everybody is 99. Because I'm not going against the True Final boss (aka superboss) without everybody maxed out.

Very much suppressing the urge to tell guests who screwed up to piss off today. Oh, your stay is on the wrong credit card? Well, you should have given us the right card when you checked in.

I think the thing I hate most about working in the hospitality industry is that we are basically enforced to allow people to be irresponsible jerks.

It's made even worse by the fact that so many of our guests are booked through third parties, either travel agencies or travel agents or corporate booking agents. Agents screw up. Guests blame us. Then we have to try to break a shoe off in the agents' asses, but usually they have some sort of weaselry that lets them shut us down and eat the loss.

Wow! I mean seriously; if I booked with the wrong credit card; that's on me; I'm super careful about that sort of stuff.

Welp, today's been a fun day so far. Local restaurants systems have been down so they couldn't take orders, everybody is mowing at the same time today like they're trying to kill me (I have pollen allergies), and mom fell down while I was in the bathroom (could hear through the bathroom wall). Got her back up, and nothing seems to be broken.

Phew, sorry about your mom falling down. That's a daily worry for me now with my dad, so that's super relatable to me. Glad she's OK.

My fiancée's grandma is in the hospital again. Has an infection from surgery from a couple weeks ago.

Wish my older family members and hers as well would stop getting hurt for a month.

I hope she ends up okay Vyrerus.

Mom falling down has happened once before, and nobody heard her for 2 hours (it was at a part of the house that cannot be heard from the front. To say it has made me terrified of leaving mom home alone for longer than 30 minutes is an understatement. Hell, next month is the first time I'm going on vacation in over 2 years because of it.

You gonna hit up Fiji and sip some Bahama Mamas on a beach that's not in the Bahamas?

Nahh, just visiting the boyfriend and possibly scuba diving, assuming we can find a place in GA that's open for it and is around Atlanta.

It's terrifying that I've had to put more people on ignore this month than the rest of the time I've been on these forums. Really hoping it dies down for the sake of constructive talk. On the bright side, makes this the best thread on the Citadel.

Would probably be a little less silly if some of these people did the content they're whinging about. :b
