WWEDWATTD?

She would get a machete and start chopping up whoever came through the door...that's what she'd do. Then she'd step back, survey the mess, have second thoughts and check her email.

And some people are so...so....irritating! BFFMS said it best this evening. People gather ideas from the Internet and put them in action. Case in point. Someone in the office overbooked the lodge for this weekend...and for once it wasn't my fault! But it happened and the situation needed to be rectified. I had a couple of options and wanted to go with the best case scenario first...naturally...which would be in my favor! I had a guy that I could move in with his buddies, and even though it would be a tight squeeze for them for three days, I offered to comp their rooms, both rooms, for the three days and throw in a case of beer. The one guy who would be the one who had to move, and be the most inconvenienced, wasn't real receptive to this. Duh. The guys he would have to bunk with...even offered to sleep on a blow up bed and let him have the bed.

You know how all of a sudden you are just overcome with disdain for someone....and you can feel your blood pressure start to climb...I had that feeling. Big time. He said,' Well, I'd really rather be alone'...now this is a guy who share's a room with someone anyway but the roommate is out of town this weekend. I said I'd go figure something out. There was actually more than that said, but it's boring....and I already knew I could move him to a single room because by a amazing miracle...we had a cancellation about a 1/2 hour before! But I just didn't want to give him that really nice room.....

But I went to the office...got the key for the room and brought it to him. I told him it was his lucky day and he could stay in that 'really nice room' till Sunday. I swear I saw a smirk on his face, but I thanked him numerous times for understanding, blah, blah, blah and he said....So what comp do I get for the inconvenience? I swear this is where the machete thoughts came into play. I looked at the other guys in the room and said I'd still give them the case of beer and I appreciated their understanding. I'm sure they understood where I was coming from. Maybe I'm making too much out of it, but that guy was just a shit. I know he did me a tremendous favor...it was the 'what about me' attitude. Kind of messes up your day. As BFFMS said, people are getting ideas from the Internet on how to dicker for things and make a bad situation turn around in their favor and then some.

But problem is solved. It drained all the energy out of me and I had to come home and eat. Which is a good thing. Husband got home this afternoon after his hospital visit and brought me some food. Bless his soul.

The mass under his eye was removed and sent for biopsy. He had quite the bandage under his eye and you can see the swelling all around it. He's to continue with the antibiotics and a follow up appt. in Ft. Stockton next week.

I just went to the office to check the book for tonight and the sky to the south of us is black black black! And the wind is blowing this way. We might get something after all.

I want to take a shower but the way my day has been going, I'd probably get struck my lightning...

Have a nice night!!
