seriously WTF

[smileyeagle1021]

OK, I am scratching my head... we just received a 30 page fax... as if that wasn't strange enough, it came from Nagurpur Bangladesh (thank you reverse look up). Seriously, why would anyone fax that many pages from Bangladesh... to make it even more interesting... it's all in Arabic... if it turns out to be plans to blow up an airplane I'm screwed sense my prints are now all over it

Oh, and that is just the pinnacle of weirdness for the night... I don't know how but a guest managed to lock himself out of his room... somehow the security latch was engaged... maybe it has something to do with the place being haunted

Oh, we didn't have any naked people, but there was a guy in boxers and a t-shirt... does that count

Oh yes, and if you read about a hotel getting shot up or set ablaze by some pyro psycho... and there are two desk clerks killed... that would be me and the trainee
yeah, we had a psycho guy in the lobby today... very interested in the stats on the power plant down the street from us... and got way too excited when he asked about why he saw smoke coming from the direction of the refinery earlier this week and I explained there was an explosion there... wanted to know all the details about how many were killed (none thank God) and how many were injured (fortunately only 4, it could have been a lot worse). Creepy guy.... he started wandering around the parking lot looking in cars... SLCPD was very kind to send out a car to make sure that he left.

And it's not even a full moon tonight

It sounds like another wonderful nigh in Paradise there for you.

Smiley, dear, um.... if you need someplace to stay after the Hotel blows up... I have a sofa bed.

update

Apparently we aren't the only hotel crazy guy went to.

Last night it was kinda slow, one of the hotels behind us called asking for rate and occupancy... we do small talk during these calls (because we can ) and she mentioned "wow, it's nice for us to be finally having a slow night, after how crazy it's been the last two weeks, first there was a crazy trenchcoat dude, then all the flight cancellations, then the Outdoor Retailers convention" ... and i'm like "wait, back up... crazy trenchcoat guy, was he there the Saturday before the convention"

and yes, yes he was... it was the same dude... he went to at least two hotels asking questions about the power plant and getting way too excited about the explosion.

fortunately none of the hotels, nor the power plant, have exploded... yet...

I used to answer junk faxes by faxing back about a half a ream of black construction paper.

I have no idea what that did to their fax machine. Alls I know is that toner ain't cheap.

I used to answer junk faxes by faxing back about a half a ream of black construction paper.

That's where a fax modem, MS-Paint and the fill tool, and a good sense of evil can come in handy. The most all-black pages I ever managed to send was 73.

And for Smiley, I used to have a modem line that had a number that was one off from a Polish bookstore on the other side of the city. With the differences in the timezones, it was a rare day when I wouldn't wake up to see at least two faxes in Polish waiting for the delete key to be pressed.
