Weird guests are amazing in tiny, extremely small doses. XD
We started tonight off with a couple of guys coming in from their night of drinking and stopping to look at the case of food and drinks. One of them DEMANDS our last cookie. He has a desperate need for the cookie. His friend points to the muffins and says he needs a cupcake, then claims three packs of Reese's. While that fella consumes his yearly nutritional requirement of chocolate in about two minutes, his friend, cookie-guy starts to talk to me about tattoos. He wants me to design chocolate-fella's tattoo, which really doesn't need any designing because it's just LETTERS, but his friend finishes gobbling his food and they forget about it on their way up to their rooms. I'm pretty glad, honestly, because I sorta have cooler stuff to draw tonight than letters. :p
Oh, and by the way? Every single person who has come in tonight has said good morning to me. I know that sometimes I have a problem with saying good morning in the evenings because I just woke up, but I didn't expect it from a guest at the hotel. And man, I really didn't expect it from EVERY guest who's come in. Maybe it's good-morning-day, or a secret conspiracy of goodmorningdoers. In any case, it makes me smile. :D
One good-morninger just came in a minute ago and hollered about the brand new day and how amazing it was. He then loudly noted that we had a new dance floor (tile) and asked me if I'd ever been out with a buncha drunk friends.
Better to be loud, drunk, and happy, than to be this fella, though:
A guy wanders in holding three packs of cigarettes in one hand. He's scrawny and middle-aged, and while he did nod at me, he mostly stares off into space. He doesn't look around, he doesn't wander, he just walks in a slow, mostly straight line toward the elevator and stops. The fellow he'd followed in (I don't think they were together?) hits the elevator and takes it up. The guy is looking at the wall. The elevator arrives and dude is turning around every now and then, looking like he's either thinking about something very interesting, too interesting to show any expression or movement of his head, or absolutely nothing at all. A couple of minutes later, guy gets in the elevator and rides it up.
And rides it right back down without so much as getting off of it. I know he didn't press the 1st floor button, because it didn't ding when the doors opened on the first floor. In fact, nothing happened when the doors opened on the first floor. I could see half of his reflection in the elevator wall, and he was just standing there, staring out of the elevator like he hadn't noticed it opened. The doors closed again like they do after reaching the first floor, then reopen, and guy waltzes on out. He spaces his way right out the front door, and I haven't seen him since.
So what's your vote, guys? Prostitute with second thoughts, drugs, both, or neither?
Like I said. I LOVE the guests here. They're weird, quirky, goofy, and most of the time friendly. Small doses, though. Very small doses.
TGIF (or maybe it's Friday's fault!)
