Greasing 101: lesson #1

anybody had any success with greasing the the desk clerk? here is today's lesson from Mr DC.
If your hotel room’s too rocked, if you want a suite for the price of a single…just tip MR desk clerk. the desk clerk says: “I have total control to upgrade you from a standard room that costs around $175 to a luxury suite that costs $400. When you check in, slip a $50 bill under your credit card, lean over the desk a little, and quietly say, ‘It’s an important night for me, and I’d really appreciate it if you could get me a great room if you have one.’ Be discreet so the other guests don’t hear, and say it immediately, before I start all the paperwork. If you give me anything under $50, I’ll just tell you how much our hotel charges for an upgrade. Come as close to check-in time as possible: The later it gets, the busier we get. When you’re slipping me my tip, you can also say, ‘The rate was really high when I called. Do you have anything lower?’ I can knock off more than 100 bucks.”

breaks don't work but I AM Fred Flintstone

The roads are all ice today. Had fun iceskating to the newpaper.
In today's santo greensboros newspaper, the weatherman gave us the weather report for the next 100 years. He gets one day right and now he thinks he can do the next hundred. I think someone needs to cut back on the drugs and come back to us OR I'll have whatever he's having.

Stop the Curse of MacJean

what's going on? it seems there is some sorta VooDoo curse on me going to dance in Durham and Raleigh and with dancefrankie! Everytime I want to go out there something weird happens... savion glover gets canceled twice, not being able to drive due to ?partial seizures?, 3/4 ice roads, school.

I looked out the window today and I don't see anything happening and two seconds later I see 30 of the hugemongEST snowflakes I have ever seen. I mean I moved 5 hours SOUTH...give me a break SOMEONE!

PLEASE I mean I am practically a shut-IN since I moved here.
I can only study like 14 hours a day 7 days a week for soooo long. I have studied so much evolution now I am starting to recognize myself in my neighbors monkey. I have to dance some balboa soon or something worse could happen.

don't make me have to watch TV. I would rather go outside in the freezing cold in my bathing suit and lick a pole.

ok I a calm now. I guess it will be another Saturday night of tapping on my 3 foot by 4 foot tap box- that's not a bad life. I think i could have a happy life in jail if I had my tap box.

invention #1: chocolate sticky stuff

I think we need some positive re-inforcement when we pay our bills: chocolate flavored sticky stuff on envelopes.

if you LUV losing your luggage maybe...

Southwest Airlines Inc stock ticker is (LUV). Does that make sense to anybody?

maybe if you LUV losing your luggage and starving to death.

put the frog down!

You all. Frogs don't really turn into princes if you kiss them. My advice is not to do it. It disappoints your friends and traumatizes the frog. Poor thing was devastated when he remained a frog and I had to return him back to the cold lake.

eye roll of the day

I would like to put a big eye roll out to Beyonce today. She is planning a new release — her own clothing line. "There will be a lot of sexy tops, sweaters and party dresses, things that I would wear either on or off the red carpet,” she added.

who DIES a daily death in their "CUBE"?

I would like to start out by saying if you have time to read this blog and you haven't seen the best movie of all time, Office Space, then you need to see it asap!

This one goes out to everybody who DIES a daily death in their "CUBE",(you all know who your are). You can't wait to get out at lunch, head over to some assembly-line-food franchise like "Baja" for some fajitas, and try to make it back in time to get back on IM.

Thank you Alex Fajkowski for showing me this superb movie as we circled the skys from Boston- best airplane ride ever.

I am grateful to report I escaped my CUBE July 31, 2004.

Welcome friends and viewers.

Now, instead of listening to you FM/ XM /SIRI radio battle it out, you can read my blog.

Try to not be offended by these posts, or by the comments from my very wonderful friends who read my blog and respond.

I was starting to complain to myself earlier today and then I was listening to the news and I thought well I don't have to hop in a boat while all my friends and families get pulled into the ocean and feel guilty that I was the only survivor. I don't have a terminal illness, a sick child, nothing to eat, a cheating husband, a broken bone, a cat throwing up on the carpet, a son in Iraq, or even a cavity. So no complaining goes on the blog. Only my humble observations and gratitude for living. Please participate on my blog when you feel inspired.
