Here are some tips to be a better RV park guest:
1) If there is a big pink sign on the door that the office closes at say, 8, and you walk in at 8:10, don’t act all huffy that the camphost won’t let you surf for a half hour and be grateful that she allows you a few minutes to send off an ‘important’ email;
2) If checking in as a group, have one person per rig go into the office to register. If you go in en mass and start talking amongst yourselves (especially in a foreign language) and keep on interrupting the check in process to ask the host questions she said she would answer after everyone was checked in don’t get huffy if the check in process is slow and/or she forgets to give you the code for the wireless internet and/or she asks you the same question more than once;
3) Don’t shoot the messenger informing you that the internet is down. Shoot the idiot who crashed the system by trying to download a massive file;
4) If the camphost is counting money, please do her a favour and let her finish, especially if you plan to launch into a tirade about the internet.
5) If you are in, say, the men’s washroom and there is a knock at the door, answer. If you don’t, you have no business yelling at the female camphost who assumed there was no one in the room since no one answered the knock, and entered to make sure the facilities were clean and the toilet paper topped up.
There, I feel better. 😀
Just think, you went to college to study the fine art of entering this world of misguided people needing guides LOL To bad they don’t teach a course on defusing inconsideration or just plain anencephalism – not to mention fecalcephalism.
Counting the days, perhaps???
Nope, not counting the days at all, I just need a bit more work life balance, LOL!!!
Most guests are fantastic, actually. Chatting with people from all over is one of my favourite parts of the job.
Chatting with people – Mine too. (Although night audit restricts visitation to the start and end of shift, but that allows for productivity in between) 🙂
I just hit a stretch of 2 on, 1 off, 4 on for the 11 – 7 so I know what you mean about work / life balance needing alignment!!
Still, the road will succeed in its siren call soon for us, and we still aren’t certain where we are going to let it take us. Kinda cool, really.
