Just got home from an insane night at work, and I have just one question: is it that difficult to keep an eye on one's children. I'm not trying to be a bitch and say that you can mind your children every single second of the day but please.

I work in a 202 room full service hotel on evenings. On weekends there are no managers and on Sunday nights there are no maintenance people, so it's just a handful of people there. Normally that isn't a problem, since we pretty much know how to handle everything that can possibly happen.

Well tonight, we had a new bartender and a new front desk clerk - who was by himself - while a 75 person famly reuinion was going on. Things were going pretty good for the most part, other than our new bartender didn't know how to do room service, but the folks from the family reuinion were pretty good, and no one was tearing the place up.

And then sometime between 8:15 and 8:30pm Bam! off goes the fire alarm. Not a problem, Two of my coworkers as well as myself know how to read the large alarm panel behind the front desk that tells where the alarm is. So I go up and press the alarm acknowledge button and guess what it's a fucking pull station. (One of the little red wall mounted boxes with the small white handle.)If it had been any of the building's several hundred smoke detectors I would have known immediately where the alarm originated from. No one, though, had told me how to tell which pull station was responsible. So, we evacuated the place, which had about 150 or so people in it, the fire department showed up, confirmed it was a false alarm, and reset the alarm.

Not even 10 minutes later, the damn thing went off AGAIN! I went back to the alarm panel, while one of my coworkers went over to the pull station that the fire department had told us was responsible for the first alarm. This time when I hit alarm acknowledge, the panel read that it was the pull station in the restaurant, so I called my coworker over the two way radios we use, and he went to investigate. He called back a minute later to tell me it was a false alarm, so we did not evacuate this time. Instead I went out to wait for the fire department. They showed up (and even they didn't look too concerned.) and I explained what the deal was. The reset the alarm, and the culprit - a four year old autisitc boy - was caught.

I really can't blame the child here. Autisitc children are very intelligent, but many of them have little or no self control, and while I acknowledge that you can't watch your kids constantly, the boy's mother knew he had spotted the alarm. Apparently, he said to her: "Look, Mama. P-U-L-L. Pull!". She told him to leave it and then turned her back to him. As soon as she did so, he yanked it.

The fire department spoke to the mother, and we did not make them leave. (Though some of our other guests did want them thrown out.) Like I said, I really don't blame the child, and I guess, to some degree, I really can't blame his mother either, but isn't it too much to ask to make sure that your child stays away from that fire alarm? The trouble cost us $1000 in fines for false calls as well as two customers from our restaurant and a few of our guests that demanded refunds during a time when we need all the money we can get. The good news is that most of the folks there were good sports about it, and we all laughed about it later.
