No meal, just a wee glass of Glenmorangie. :drinkers: Unfortunately, I had a hard time getting the sales manager and training agent to go away and leave the Yeti and I to pleasantly converse. Other than that, it was the loveliest part of an otherwise unlovely day.
Just a few short hours after that, the hotel's fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate. After checking the door and seeing that it was cool and there was no smoke, I grabbed shoes, threw a coat over my jammies and climbed down the seven flights of steps, then stood around outside with all of the other hotel guests for awhile. Good thing the rain had stopped by then.
The fun thing was, when the all-clear sounded and we were allowed back in, all of the guests wanted to go back to their rooms and of course, had to wait for the elevators. Apparently, you can use the stairwells to exit and go down, but it's impossible to use the stairwells to go up - the floor-doors automatically lock and only hotel personnel have keys to each floor, and they weren't making that option available. So it took another 25 minutes before I could get on an elevator back to the room.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
