"You must do the thing you think you can not do." - Eleanor Roosevelt
So, here I am in the middle of Day 4 of my 10 day work week while the boss is gone, which makes me Boss Lady.
Chris is still sick so since I
can't call in sick to take care of him and he can't come here, he's been staying at his grandparent's house.
One of our cats is in heat and is deaf. She's woken me up the past 3 mornings out of 4 yowling at the top of her lungs. So, last night, I was thinking that I'd take care of it by taking something to help me sleep. Yeah, that worked a little TOO well. I woke up at 6:50 a.m. I'm supposed to be at work at
7 a.m. The only reason why I woke up when I did was because the dog went bonkers barking at the school bus as it went by. Thankfully, I live about 5 minutes from work. I threw my clothes on and took the dog out for a quick pee & still clocked in at 7:01. Thank goodness. Since I work at a hotel, I grabbed a freebie toothbrush & a washcloth and freshened up a little in the lobby bathroom.
Then I found out the keys to our juice machine are missing! Why do we only have one set of these?? I called Kyle (one of the night auditors) & he swears up & down he doesn't have them, that he handed them back to me before he left. I remember him doing that but I think he got his days confused. I'm pretty sure he'd worked since then. I tore apart the front desk and the back office. No luck. I went through my bag and my coat pockets. Found a receipt I was looking for ("Hey!") but no keys. Shit. I went through the keys in the maintenance key box. Found a promising key chain that said 'juice keys' but none of them worked. Dammit!! What the hell am I going to do? What's a hotel's continental breakfast without juice? So I'm stressing all over about this because it's the hotel OWNER that I'm going to have to call if I can't fix this. Finally, I grab all the keys in our little key drawer and started trying all of them.
SUCCESS!! I found a spare on the main housekeeping key chain. I still think Kyle has the main juice machine keys but at least now we can work the juice machine! I told Virginia that I was going to have copies made of the spare and put them on the main breakfast keychain (don't ask me why they weren't there in the first place) and on the one key chain in the maintenance key box. We're just not going to tell Kyle.
Also, since I'm the one who usually works with him, I just might get a copy made for my personal key chain. Just in case. *whew* Another crisis averted.
