My Hair

This is what my hair is supposed to look like!

 

The Nutcase

In my business (lodging), I run into all types of people ... most of them sane and nice, but every so often you get one who is obviously "off their meds". Such was the case recently.

This was the third visit by "Madame X", and while I remembered that she was a little kooky, I wasn't prepared for her behavior during this stay. She started out by time vampiring me for about 45 minutes at check-in, with repeated visits to the office throughout the day. The next day was my day off** and when I dropped by to check on things, this woman cornered me in the parking lot, demanding that I evict the guest staying in the next room.

Apparently, the guest next door had set the alarm clock for 4:30, as she needed to go to an early appointment or job or some such. Then, the GND had the temerity to get into her car and drive away at 5:30 am with her car lights on, which then shone in the window of MX. Now, I didn't want to fight with this headcase, so I explained that I had no control over when my guests came or went, nor did I care to exert such control. As you might expect, this answer did not please MX, who then indicated that if it happened the next morning, she would call the police ... and continued to rant about "people who get up early should stay out on the highway" and how motel managers are just a bunch of cowards. I left to run errands and sneaked back later to find that MX had gone to the local constabulary and filed a formal complaint about the GND. For going to work? Oddly enough, when MX checked out on Friday, she said she had had a wonderful stay. Whatever!

day off** = golf in the morning, running errands for the properties all afternoon

Punta Uva Beach

I really need to get back there! Soon.

Are we good, or what?

It has been forever since I've even looked at this blog, but today is pretty quiet so what the heck! Ran across this article a while back and, well, I knew Oregonians were better drivers than Washingtonians ... I thought we were much better ... apparently not.
