I’ve only heard tales of the prophecy. Rumors spoken in hushed tones amongst the vampires of the front desk. Less seasoned Night Auditors are sometimes too scared to even mention it, afraid they could accidentally speak it into existence.

The “Oracle” has triggered the Audit-pocalypse. It’s here. The system is down on an end of month audit. The software that runs the entire hotel is down for scheduled maintenance with a window of Midnight to SIX A.M.!!

Yeah sure, take your time running that maintenance. I’m totally okay with doing an entire end of month audit, with weekly bill outs for extended stays, in ONE HOUR before I’m scheduled to clock out. Oh, and I’m sure the early checkout crowd will respond to not getting their checkout folios in a totally rational manner /s

This is fine….everything is fine…🥴

UPDATE: system went back online with an hour and fifteen minutes left in shift. Easy Peasy. I clocked out on time.
