Another interesting day in the life of a motel desk manager

This story really should be put on a show called coworkers and their strange life events.
one of the ladies that I work with(Brenda)comes to work at 5:30 to do the continental breakfast on the weekdays and I happend to be covering for June who usually worked the front desk on the weekdays in the morning.When I came in Monday morning this week Brenda was talking to Kris who is the lady that does graveyard desk. Anyway this is the story about Brenda that I heard from her.
Brenda was on the mountain with her exhusband and she caught her horse with some twine and was riding it to the trailer to saddle him up. The horse bucked her off and the twine got rapped around her thumb. Her thumb was hang by a tendon but interesingly enough it didn't bleed hardly at all. She got the thumb sewed back on and a couple of weeks latter it began to smell funny so she took the bandage off and her thumb was black, dead black. The doctors told her that they could make a new thumb from her femor bone or they could take her big toe off of one of her feet. So she decided to use her big toe as her thumb. The really interesting thing is that after a while the toe figured out that it was know a thumb and shead the tough skin and the toe nail and grow a new nail and smoother skin. Seriously if I hadn't of herd that story I would have never known her thumb was really her big toe.

My Famous Bird Calling Cat

The case of the vanishing Bat

On saturday the 26 I was at the front desk doing my job trying to check every body in because they conveniently came all at once, plus I was trying to make sure that I didn't put them in rooms that hadn't been cleaned yet do to some high school girls that cleaned after school and were still working. After getting everyone checked in I helped clean the last room because we had someone waiting for it. As we left one of the boy's that was staying in that room pointed out that there was a bat hanging on the wall of the stair way not thinking much of it I just left it there. Several hours went by before another guest called me and told me about this bat who was now on one of the stairs. At this point it was getting dark and I was afraid that someone would walk up those stairs when it was pich black and scare that bat and the bat fly at them like in the movies. I spent 20 minutes trying to diside who to call because, of cause, both of my bosses were up in northern UT. I thought of calling animal control, then I thought "Do we even have an animal control in this po-dunk town?" Thankfully one of my boss's friends was using the cafe for a 80th b-day party so I asked her what I should do. She said "Its back, Brady(my boss) tried to get it a while ago but when He went to take care of it, it was gone. Give me a minute and we will go get that sucher." So we had a couple of brooms and a box with newspapers in it to put the bat in after we "stund" it. But lo and behold when we got to the stair well it had vanished. Sadly we retreated but vowed that we would get him next time.

Thought of the day

Why do you think that the simple things in life are so hard to comprehend? "The hardest thing to learn is the thing you think you already know." It's been interesting to see the light bulb turn on as I read "Jesus The Christ". For instance the story of The Master and His deciples in the boat when a storm was raging. If you recall The Master was sleeping, but why? He had physical limitations just like we do. He needed to rest, he was exhausted. That's why He could sleep through the storm and His deciples had to wake him. It's interesting how something so simple can have such an impact.

Mission Update

I have submitted my part of my mission papers to the bishop, but I am still waiting for my interviews so that we can send them to Salt Lake.

P.S. This is what happens when Mom and Jeni get a hold of me.
