So a Rabbi just called me. He was a guest in one of our hotels several months back. He just realized he had one of our ballpoint pens, and wanted to know if he should bring it back. I told him that no, he could keep it, if he wanted to. Oi. I'm afraid he cuted me out.

And a few minutes later, I got someone calling up to check on a reservation made at an entirely different hotel chain, even though they were well aware of the fact they hadn't booked with our company.

Yesterday, a highly indignant man called up, insisting he had booked a reservation with one of our hotels. I searched high and low, and called the hotel directly to search for his reservation. Finally, when I'd exhausted all possibilities for finding his missing reservation, he admitted he'd never actually booked with us, but was hoping we could find him a reservation.

My mind boggles.

In other news,

f00dave and

snowy_kathryn had supper ready for me when I got home last night. Awww! And I even have leftover fruit salad for my lunch today. That's pretty sweet. We watched The Punisher. Oh. Whoa. What a bad movie. It would have been merely mediocre, but the skull-shaped car inferno and the heavy-handed ending cemented its position in the pantheon of truly awful films.

Check out the newest bad idea from American bill-makers: Title IX Under Attack: "Without any notice or public input, the Department of Education recently issued a new Title IX policy under the guise of a "Clarification" that threatens to reverse the decades of progress women and girls have made in sports. Schools can now claim they are providing women and girls with equal opportunities to play sports based only on results from an e-mail survey of female students' interests in sports." Hoorah.
