So, I planned to do laundry in Inverary because we’re here for 2 nights...
...except with a local population of 693, the closest place to do laundry is a 10-minute drive when it’s *not* the biggest festival of the year in town (which starts tomorrow, explaining our presence).
this...does not sound too painful.

Guest 1 minute later: and do you guys have breakfast?
ME: *nod yes*
from what time?
ME: 6 - 10.
Guest: is it free?
me: yes
I'm surprised neither of you have developed a Sweeney Todd real-life alt personality by now.

. . . . there's nothing they've said or done here on the boards that can reliably preclude just that possibility . . . . .

Maybe the guy thought the pancakes were going to tell him he looked good today.
Isn't stuff like what time breakfast is also on info cards in the rooms?
These are the same people that call one of their company IT person's personal cell phones at 10pm wondering what the hotel WIFI password is.

I'd say "you gotta be joking" but as I have broken bottles open with you, I know you are not.

Correct.
In other news, I got confirmation that I'm being shipped out to the DC suburbs for another week of paradise. Oh Joy. Leave on Sunday.
I'm very, very sick of not being allowed to hire an on-site technician for this office. I don't mind traveling for my job, but that office makes me go bat guano crazy.

I feel sorry for that "Gran" person, whoever that is.

Really you feel talking about your therapy sessions is the correct way to follow being associated with a serial killer? I mean you do you.
You're assuming that I'm actually going to therapy instead of sliding into the crawlspace to have a nice chat with the corpses I keep stored down there.

When life gives you bat guano, start looking for sulfur, rock salt, and charcoal... and viola! You've got dragon's bane.

I just noticed that all the soap in our hotel room is labeled, “Calming, soothing,” and I thought, “Why would anyone in this charming little tourist trap be tense?”
Then it hit me: I haven’t so much as scanned a news site in a week. Hmmm... maybe I *do* know why I don’t need, “Calming, soothing” soap...

Im more and more convinced, the longer I am in this job, that jail time for arsony would probably be worth it.

Oh, the number of times I've wanted to burn the hotel down is ridiculous. I haven't done it yet. Yet.
