I Can't Get That Banana Phone Song Out of My Head

Last night was even busier than the night before due to a bunch of people calling in sick. I booked about twice as many rooms as I did a week ago, and by the end of the night, I was so tired that my vision was blurred. Ugh.

I wish there was some way I could mute my telephones at home until about noon. I'm tired of being awoken at the middle of my night. No, nine thirty in the morning is not a respectable time to be calling someone who works night shifts. Ugh redux. I'm woken up an average of two times during my sleepy time by various things, and I haven't seen f00dave for three or four days. I'm supposed to see him tomorrow, though. We're going downhill skiing! Whee! I hope I get decent skis this time around.

Ready for your links? I thought so.

Intersections are designated by a letter and number starting in the top left corner and continuing left to right. Power pellets are located at the intersections A1; E1; A6; E7 (i.e. the corners of the board) If they are active their intersection is colored yellow, when consumed their intersection turns white. Washington Square Park is off limits to all players."
