Management and Housekeeping

Monday, 5-1
Housekeeping:  I checked in early today for a long, business-related stay.  Now, I wish to relay that I brought two blue, hypoallergenic towels of my own, from my home.  They are doctor prescribed for my skin disorder. Please remove the two sets of your towels from my room.  I folded them tidy and placed them on the tiny tray in the bathroom.  Thank you kindly 

Monday, 5-1, early evening
Housekeeping:  I see you folded up my towels and placed them atop the dowels on the small tray in the bathroom, right next to the ones I asked you to take away.  Hanging, where I had my blue towels, are now another set of hotel towels as left by you.  I have hung up my blue towels, added your Hotel towels to the other Hotel towels on the tray.  Please take those away, please do.  Thank you.

Tuesday, 5-2
Housekeeping:  Wow, you have now placed my towels on top of the toilet tank’s bowels, flop-hung two new sets of hotel towels, adding them like regret to the two I had in towel plight just last night.  Please pick up the hotels towels; two sets on the shelf and another two sets on top of the television.  Please do help. Thank you.

Wed, 5-3
Housekeeping:  I got in after a full day of meetings and found your greetings by note.  Why in the world did you take away my towels for laundering?  I never said one word about them falling in the toilet.  I’m totally floundering, are you all daft?  Any connection between your reality and mine can only be coincidental, I’m afraid.  You left all four sets of towels where I placed them and left me three new towel sets.  All staid.  Maybe because I’m a fellow who didn’t have any yellow ones yet!  The yellow are on the one and only chair.  Please pick them up, don’t leave them there, the other four as well, and bring my blue towels back so all runs on track!

Thurs, 5-4
Management / Housekeeping:  Ah, I see the stupid fairy visited me again and left another note.  Words insist my towels are awaiting a ‘special softening spray’ scheduled for tomorrow.  Once again, I was left two sets of towels, colored mint.  I have added these two to the other trying seven by tying them together so they successfully hang down and around the chain lamp, wrap the nightstand, then up the complying watercolor painting and fortifying the mattress before wrapping around the curtain rod and hanging down the balcony, looking odd.  How’s that for organization?  Does that grab this hotel’s motivation?

Fri, 5-5, 8:00 am
Management / Housekeeping:  Oh that chafes! I cannot believe my towels have been seized and locked up in the hotel safe!  WHAT?  I did not mention concerns about the hotels intentions or others around who might steal them.  I don’t know what the hotel’s staff problem is, but it shows and I bet it is hard to pronounce.  Allow me to announce that I am running an errand and will be out of hand about ninety minutes.  When I return, I expect management’s concern to confirm my towels have been returned.

Fri, 5-5, 9:40 am
Management / Housekeeping:  I bought a gun.  My towels are not here.  Four sets of lime green towels are here, freshly delivered.  I am waiting for my towels to be delivered, NOW.    SHOULD you not deliver my blue towels in one hours’ time, I will turn to crime and start shooting the hotel’s towels, one fluffy set every fifteen minutes.  Things could get livid.

This is very whimsical. Caycay. It kind of makes my head spin trying to understand all the authors requests. I think housekeeping needs to kick the guest out of the room. Hahaha. Great ending on this one. So funny

I am in shock that this very unique and different piece was not on the winners list. It would have garnered first place on mine. Hugs Connie

OMG CayCay....what great talent you possess! By the time I got to Tuesday I was roaring in laughter. It reminded me of having to deal with unmanned recordings that misinterpreted every syllable. This has got to come in First Place! : ) 7
