It figures...

My life has had shades of Murphy's Law the whole day.

1. Painters came back to the Hotel, right outside my office. What does this mean? Paint fumes galore. Thankfully, my friends upstairs let me hide out at the spare desk in their area. The painters stayed away from there.

Still don't know if our office staff chief got the painters a work order to paint my office, which hasn't been painted since the Ford Administration (which was also when the building was built...love those historical cornerstones!)

2. WildDog fell down and strained his front leg. Poor thing! He's a geriatric dog.

3. I feel a cold (or other random virus) coming on, just in time for my presentation tomorrow.

I'll be crossing my fingers (and hoping I have a voice tomorrow). Stay tuned.

Complaints of the Day

Oh, you know it's exciting when lots of people have the same complaints. When the unit wasn't busy preparing for severe storms passing through, we've always got complaints. Here are the latest.

Of our 20 something people, at least 1/4 were complaining of itching last night. We lotioned, powdered and loaded up the Benadryl on all of them. Gotta love Benadryl...it keeps them quiet! No, we do not issue back scratchers. Maybe at those spa rehabs you've been to before, but not here, no sir!

Another favorite complaint: heat. Our unit is just not the place to be if you want actual climate control. We're the poster children for global warming, especially if you consider all the toxic fumes emitted during bowel programs.

And if specific complaints weren't enough, we had people complaining just so they could complain. Can you tell the full moon is coming soon? No...can't be!

Stay tuned...more complaints to come!
