At 1,304 words, this is the longest Diary entry ever. In keeping with newly established policy, it is offered with Sparrow’s compliments today.
It’s Sparrow, an average man passing an average life…
Wednesday, June 16 Boy, Assistant Front Desk Manager Q is really getting his lunch handed to him by Amy in the June reward club sign-up race…Not this is a bulletin because everyone, including Q and especially Amy, was expecting this after she exchanged her three PM two graveyard shifts a week for five swing shifts…The tally so far is 32-23, Amy comfortably ahead, and there is some zero reason to think this won’t do anything but increase the rest of the month.

The Diary of a Nobody – Rates are pretty high at the hotel this summer. Today’s Diary.
You could hear her sigh and then blab in Spanish to someone…That’s $800 alone for housing for the weekend and the brood would still need to be fed and otherwise entertained and even tho the conversation was in another language, her tone made it plain she was considering whether or not it wouldn’t just be best to ship the kid off to the monastery now rather than deal with this until the kid was out of the house.

The Diary of a Nobody – At the hotel, Sparrow chats on the phone with a drunk, stupid guy. Today’s Diary.
The wizard never did get my name right – preferring to call me Larry – and he starts in on another review of our amenities before finally hanging up…Before this, tho, he invited me to visit his hotel in Texas and I wanted to tell him I’d rather stay under a freeway overpass than at any place he’s associated with but, ever gracious, I didn’t.

The Sunday Bottom 5 A ranking of some things.
1. Pittsburgh Pirates – Calliope put up over home stadium following fielder chasing runner back to home plate and batter missing first base, nullifying home run…Rumors continue to persist manager keeping job only because of stockpile of comprising pics of front office staff.
2. More Baseball Crap – MLB announces umpires actually going to be required to enforce entire rule book, as pitchers will now be checked for illegal substances, a problem partially blamed for current historically low batting averages…Look, people, you can’t decide which rules you are going to enforce and when you are going to enforce them…Both record book and paying customers entitled to better.
3. Lauren Daigle – She’s back!!!…Single You Say returns to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Singles chart for Billboard all-chart record 130th non-consecutive week…It’s eighth time the song has moved into the #1 spot, which Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters are “pretty sure” is another all-chart record…Still-envious Morman Tabernacle Choir redoubling efforts to have similar success with disco version of Nicene Creed now set for late-summer release.
4. NCAA & Congress: A Love Story – Collegiate sport governing body desperate to get help from Congress as pesky athletes now demanding opportunity to cash in on billions of dollars their free labor makes for major division college athletics…This despite fact Congress has no more business getting involved in this than the Vatican does.
5. Donald Trump Supporters – Former president and GOP leader remains a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars…And that the Revolution was won by the securing of British airports…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters still asking Trump supporters which of these elements continues to solidify your support???
Today At The Site Writing worth reading. Usually.
Q: Is it Read Free Sunday (RFS) at The Diary: A: Yes, it is Read Free Sunday (RFS) at The Diary.
The Diary of a Nobody – At the hotel, Sparrow has a Line of the Year candidate. Today’s Diary.
– Oh, sir, we can’t keep compounding discounts like this… – Why not??? – Well, eventually I’ll owe you money…

Saturday, June 12 Amy was not in good humor tonight when yours truly reported for duty at the hotel…Amy is on record as not being pleased with the results of the tech refresh, especially how some reservations don’t get uploaded in a timely manner, tho I haven’t heard Q or Mark whine about this.

The cat kept pressing her case, tho, and I had two options: put her in time out and close the bedroom door – which neither of us like – or get up, put some coffee on and get the day started…It was a nail-biter of a vote, but the fact I wasn’t getting right back to sleep tipped matters and getting up squeaked out the narrow win.
