John Stamos

That got your attention, didn't it ladies. ;-)
No, John Stamos didn't come to the hotel, sorry to disappoint. Although if he did I wouldn't be allowed to tell you, so I guess you'll never know! There is a point to this though. I went out with some friends (when i say "out" I actually mean "next door" to the little bar down the street) to watch the Red Wings game. And my waiter looked EXACTLY like John Stamos. I will be returning to this bar quite often I think...


My friends and I also discovered (well...they discovered, and then invited me...) roof access in our house. Spent some time up there last night playing guitar and jammin out having a little concert. My friend H (name omitted) and I were singing together a little bit and may be going down to the park with an open guitar case for a little supplemental income...tourists love that stuff anyway. Updates soon to come.



In other news, there was a huge power outage on the island today, almost the whole place lost power!
I never thought about it, but I guess when an entire island loses power, its kind of like being in a third world country. You know, the kind with generators to keep your third world computers and refrigerators on, and emergency lights to illuminate the third world hallways of your luxury hotel.
But yes, we lost power! Lasted about 4 hours? Very interesting experience on my second day of work.  Unfortunately, I'm going to have to keep it brief today...suffering from a bit of a headache from combining staring at a bright screen in a dark room all day AND wearing my hair in a bun. Not a good combination.
If you ever wondered how a hotel operates when the power is out, let me tell you it is NOT FUN! For me or for you! We kept all the vital things operational...computers for reservations and checkins, cash registers and the like. Elevators? No. Which, as you can imagine, is a pretty big problem for some of the elderly guests. Definitely not an ideal day in the hotel world. You never want your guests to leave unsatisfied!

You know what else sucks about power outages? Bathrooms. More specifically? Bathrooms in a hotel that is pretty well known to be haunted.

Yes I had to go to the bathroom in the dark.

Yes there was a ghost.

Yes I screamed and ran out when it GRABBED ME WHILE I WAS WASHING MY HANDS.

NO this is not made up.

Ok. Yes, I PROBABLY imagined it, but who knows. That's probably what the ghosts want you to think.
Guests don't have to worry about that though, we keep their bathrooms illuminated so the ghosts can't get to them. I think people would be tentative to come back after having an interaction with a ghost in a dark bathroom.
The bright side of all this was that my day FLEW by. Time to go swimming! Have a good night everybody!
