This is day 3 of 6. Last Thursday I took Lynetta to the airport and sent her off to a Coding Conference in Florida. There is about one week per year that her job requires her to travel.
She has been doing this for several years now. I have always hated this week. I admit that I don't do well alone.
Well, apparently Lynetta is getting to where she does not do so well without me either. It seems that she managed to lock herself out of her hotel room twice in the same day. (actually within just a matter of about two hours)
The first time was understandable. She had the Card Key in an envelope stuck down in her back pocket. When she got to her room the envelope was still in her pocket, but the Card Key was gone. This was really no big deal. She just went to the front desk and explained the situation to the clerk. He told her that if she had some identification he could simply activate another Card for her. Luckily, she had her purse and wallet with her so the clerk simply gave her a new Card.
About an hour later she decided that she would go out and get some ice. She grabbed the ice bucket and the old Card Key (which was now deactivated) and headed down the hallway. When she returned with her bucket of ice she quickly discovered that the old Card Key no longer opened her door. So, back to the front desk she went - ice bucket in hand.
I am sure that the clerk remembered her. Perhaps he was just tired of seeing her. But again he insisted on seeing her identification which this time was back in the room in her purse. "No Identification - No Key" said the clerk. So there she stood with the ice melting in her bucket.
I would tell you how the story ends, but that would make it boring. Let's just leave her standing there awhile so I can enjoy the fact that just perhaps she needs me as bad as I need her.
I love you Neat :)
My heart knows but my head says are you sure??
