A Stormy Mess!

What a night! Last night was my first official day of going solo and mother nature decided to mess with me.

Everything was going fine for the first few hours, I was working on laundry, the pre-audit was done. I was enjoying the sound of the rain outside and the peacefulness of the night. Then all hell broke loose! At 3 AM, without much warning a bolt of lighting struck the hotel. The surge it brought set off all the alarms, and crashed my computers. Almost immediately the calls came poring in from the 80+ guests staying in the hotel. Panic set in and I just stared at the phone ringing uncontrollably.

Then my brain finally took over. I checked the hotel for a fire, (there wasn't one) and reset the alarms and the computers. Once the alarms stopped the calls followed suit. What was concerning is that very few people evacuated the hotel. Most stayed by their doorway in a daze. If I heard the fire alarm go off I would get the F*** out! Well one thing is for sure, I had an exciting night!

The guest's stupidest question of the day goes to the lady in 318. "Is this a fire drill?" Um, yes we like to do fire drills at 3 AM.... Come on, this is a hotel not a elementary school! What silly people.
