You know, I've read many times that you're not supposed to write in your blog "Sorry I haven't written a post in a long time". That's because they don't want your readers to think you don't care enough about your blog to make frequent posts and that may turn off your readers.
Well, I guess they're not fu^#ing banquet managers!
We don't always have the friggin' time to sit our butts down in front of the computer to write about our crappy days.
The last 3 weeks have been a bloody nightmare. Every piss-ass bride drove me nuts. Every bitch meeting planner in our state seemed to be here. Every stupid 50th wedding anniversary or slutty sweet 16 was here. There were 2 parties for guys that just up and died.
I'm tired. Tired of working 16 hour days and tired of listening to the guest's BS complaints. Now I even got a Friday off and I'm relaxing.
I write this post at 11:30am, I just got my ass outta bed. My eyes are red, my feet ache and I've got a mountain of dirty suits that I need to take to the dry cleaners. That'll be another $60 bill I can't afford.
Now I'm getting a text from one of my waiters. Should I answer it back?
Yeah, sure!

September had really bad vibes for me too.
So much drama, such poor performance.
So many quitters, so much attitude.
This is my first comment but I've been reading for a while. It's so comforting and hilarious.
I am a banquet manager and I'd LOVE to share some stories. Most outrageous stuff ever boss. 5 or 6 people quit this weekend and 2 employees made violent threats against me.
I NEED YOUR HELP!
Cheers.
Banquet Manager X
Septembers were bittersweet.
It was hiring time after losing staff all summer long to people who called in sick from the beach.
Just as well because if they didn't understand call display they were too stupid to be on my team.
And it was money time after scraping by on only weddings for three months.
So instead of having too much time and not enough money to go on vacation it was no time and some decent money.
It was hard to watch the kids go back to school when I wanted to as well.
After ten years of living with no hope I finally did.
I don't miss any of the things you mentioned.
I miss my dry cleaning account, even if they lost one of my suit jackets once.
And I sorta miss my food account even though the menu sucked.
I don't miss eating alone in my office to save time while speeches were on.
And I don't miss having to check ten meeting room setups to see if things were done right.
Hi BMX,
Thanks for stopping by, we can ALWAYS us another frustrated banquet manager here. I'd love to hear some of your stories. Write them here and I'll add them to one of my upcoming posts.
Maybe you can do a "guest blogger post" for me.
Later,
BM
