I decided to finally quit the hotel. I was there four and a half years, which was way longer than I needed to be there. What can I say, I wanted to really make an attempt to like it, but I never could. Apparently hotels have to be in your blood (as a former manager told me when I started the job) and mine is hotel free. Oh, well. I can't say I didn't try.
To the laugh! I occasionally had a prank caller whose M.O. would be to ask if we had suites, then ask the pricee, then ask if I could hang on while he got his credit card. Soon after, I would hear the heavy breathing. It was no use hanging up, as he would just call right back. Eventually I would just set the phone down and go about my business, occasionally checking to see if he had hung up yet.
He called the last night I worked. This time, I had a snap inspiration. I got on youtube, put on the song That's the Way (I Like It) by KC and the Sunshine Band and stuck the phone on the speaker. He was still on when the song finished, so I played Good Times by Chic. He was still on by the time that finished, so I held the phone close enough to me where I know he could hear me and said that I would play Air Supply next. He got off the phone before I could start playing it. Heehee!
