Just kidding! 5 days... I honestly didn't think I'd make it this far. Yay for me! Kevin says he "doesn't know if he can believe me" because I lied to him last time, so that would be my fault. I cried wolf one too many times, now I have to convince him I'm telling the truth. He smelled me, my hair, my clothes, I told him to check out my car and thats when he decided that if I'm letting him search my car, I must be telling the truth.
I'm very excited for Easter... I have an excuse to make easter baskets. Adele... yeah even though her parents hate me at the moment, she is still our Goddaughter, so she is getting an easter basket. Cassie is also getting one, and I'm mailing that one off next week. Isabella is getting one too. I need a kid. My friends kids just aren't cutting it any more.
We have two groups (Hockey groups from Canada) staying at the hotel for the next three glorious days. ALL of them decided to check in at the same time today... I told them the earliest checkin time is around three, and not all the rooms may be ready by then (you know because housekeepers don't just wiggle their noses to get a room clean and perfect) what time do you suppose they came to checkin? THREE O'CLOCK on the dot... all of them. Luckily we have rockstar housekeepers and the rooms were all clean. Then they all insisted on cots, fridges, microwaves, pillows, blankets... of course their need for these items were VASTLY more important that the needs of the other guests. They were sooo demanding, and they don't understand the "First come first serve to those who have already requested it" rule. And by the 20th person I felt like saying "WE ONLY HAVE 6 ROLLAWAYS, you've been standing in line for 20 minutes listening to a billion people BEFORE YOU request a rollaway or fridge" Do you really think we have 20 extra rollaways for our 65 room hotel!!!" Then they get all pissy when they drag their luggage to a luggage cart, only to discover that we don't have an elevator (again 65 room, 2 story hotel....) and they get mad and ask for main floor. Mind you they are healthy, athletic families here for a hockey game... I think you can manage carrying your 5 bags up 16 steps (yes, I have counted them).
What do these people do when they are at home? Do they set up a pully system to get from floor to floor in their house... do they do laundry in the basement??
People automatically become disabled when they leave their homes. Not only that but they become light sleepers (nothing by stairs, vending, pool, meeting rooms, elevators, dogs, families with babies, doors, lobbies... tell me what room isn't near ONE of these items?)
They also become allergic to chlorine, smoke, cleaning solutions, dogs, cats, and they can't be in a room that is near these things, or a room that possibly at one time in 10 years had any of these things in it.
Some people require you to slowly explain that we don't control the temp. in a room, the HVAC unit in the window controls the heat AND a/c and if you took a second to look at the thing sticking out of the wall before you got your panties up in a bunch and called the front desk and yelled at me, you would have seen its as easy as turning the machine "on"
okay... wow, yup, I worked a 10 hour day, and it shows. When I get goin'.....
Have a good FRIDAY tomorrow!!!!
