Love:
-From 11 PM to 7 AM, I have a total of 2 hours of stuff to do (normally) and no supervision. I bring my laptop and have used it to turn out a 250 or so page website, plus cruise the forums here and in my game most of the night.
-Helping the people that come in that have a legitimate problem.
-Watching the sun come up most days.
-Meeting people from all over.

Hate:
-The computer program we use came from England and was sent over specifically as punishment for that whole 1776 misunderstanding.
-To list all of the things that they claim are features would take days, but some of the biggies include,
--If there is nothing to print, it doesn't tell you there is nothing to print, it acts exactly the same way as if had printed. Not a big deal except the print spooler locks up 3 times a day (on average) so there is no real way to tell if it's locked or blank
--The drop down boxes on the forms must be cleared to show any options other than whatever is in it when you open it.
--Every window opens in the next slot in the cascade setting, so they are never in the same place twice in a row.
--It may or may not run the credit card on it's own. There is no way to know before you get there.
--The inventory screen is completely separate from the room type screen, so if a room changes, it takes a call to England to set up an appointment to have someone go in and change the number.
--Each screen uses it's own print queue, and printer number, which must be set up in three different places, only two of which can be from the user's end, yet all screens print to the same device which is the only printer on the system.
-The support staff will wait 8 days to call back on critical issues then explain that I need to call when the issue is actually happening to get it fixed.
-The owner makes the claim that no one comes to a hotel to watch TV, so we don't have even basic cable, yet we have many rooms with 32 inch LCD TV's for the cleanest test patters the airwaves can provide.
-The other program that I use nightly lists the months in alphabetical order in the archive. April 2005, April 2006, August 2005, August 2006, and so on
-The AC doesn't work, so it's 3 am and 81* F where I'm sitting.
