Big Rally Arrived

There were about 25 sites reserved for a rally that was coming in yesterday. It was a rally for an Airstream club - you know the RV's that look like they're made from aluminum. It was our first experience for one of those and I was sent out to make sure that all their reserved sites were in good order - picnic table on right side of space, trash removed from site and the hookups were all OK. It turned out to be a tougher job than anticipated. Yesterday was the warmest day we've had so far - high of 84 - and there was very little breeze. It took over an hour to complete the job, as there were several tables to move and several sites had to be raked, and I was wet all over from sweat when I returned to the office. It was definitely a job for the maintenance crew, and not the front office.

When I returned to the office I couldn't log-on to my workstation - it times-out after about 5 minutes of no use. I have been using the passwords of an employee that left before our arrival and they expired from the system which meant that I had no use of the terminal for the rest of the day. Of course, none of this would happen if they had used diligence in getting passwords assigned to us right away when we started last Monday. Josie has been using passwords from another employee that is still there, so she didn't have the problem on her terminal. The log-on passwords will only work on the machines they are assigned to and the other passwords will not work on my workstation as they are already in use. What a waste of time as a result of their lack of organization. Josie and I went back and forth the rest of the day, trying not to bump into each other, while using the one workstation that was available to us. As mentioned before, the stress level needs to be reduced or we will be gone.

The rally got all checked-in and settled. It was a good thing that they had a "Wagon Master" handle the check-in and payment for the whole group. There were other occasions yesterday when Josie and I would just look at each other and shrug our shoulders.

Our last day, and 6th of the week, is today and we are looking forward to some free time. We hope it goes better today as there will be four of us on the front desk. With only two working terminals out of the three we have, it should be an interesting day...
