So I Work In A Hotel

So the best thing, I run into volleyball teams, make pot smokers paranoid (Like I'll call the cops) and generally get to see all sorts of crazy going ons, Does anyone have any fun stories about hotel stays/employment? I'd like to see that I am not the only one.....

What exactly is a "hotel engineer"?

I'm not trying to offend anyone here but one of my pet peeves are people calling themselves engineers when they aren't. I really hate politically correct terms and euphemisms. I know that most people just use job titles that are consistent with the industry but it bother me.

For example, a "sanitation engineer" is not an engineer when he/she collects garbage or cleans washrooms. A "sanitation engineer" that does environmental studies, develops/maintains water purification systems, etc. is an engineer.

Again, I'm not trying to put anyone down. I just think that if your job is a garbage man, there is no shame in saying "I am a garbage man". In fact, the average wage of a garbage man is higher than the wages of most real engineers.

I think a hotel engineer is someone who fixes every thing??? Does all the engineering ?? Like the light bulbs....right ?
I swear a sanitation egineer was someone to clear the human excrete and stuff ??

Well anyways cool job....I have this funny story I went to a 5 star hotel with my friend,jumped on beds....GREAT FUN.And REEEEEEEEEEEEALLLY funny. Oh and we took all thhe expensive cosmetic stuff from the re-fill trolley when they come to add some to the empty rooms made fun of the male staff and laughed at all of them oh and I spilt nasty juice on the bed.

...Verry fun indeed....

i almost lit a hotel on fire once...

it was a five star embassy suites and we went to a resteraunt, and they had a bowl of matchbooks. So we obviously filled our pockets. On the way back, there was a dry field, and you know we were shooting matches at eachother. So i lit a whole book on fire and threw it in the field.

A huge flame came out of the center of the field, right next to the hotel. It was about up to my waist. I thought about running, but instead i jumped into the middle of it, and the flame went out

it was great lol

...Lmao...yes it seams people have more fun ruining hotel rooms and trashing the place...rather than working in one....no affence.,,

I think a Hotel Engineer/supervisor/director is to be responsible for supervising engineering efforts at a hotel. The position requires proficiency in one or more building trades (e.G. Plumbing, electrical) and a solid knowledge of general engineering/maintenance. Promptly responds to guest and safety issues rather it is the building, lighting,sound, comfort and facilities etc.
