notes from a work-cation!

[marcicat]

1. My hotel room had NINE towels in it when I arrived yesterday. Today housekeeping left three more towels hanging on my doorknob while I was away. I am beginning to suspect I am using towels incorrectly. How, exactly, does one go through TWELVE towels in the course of two days? MYSTERY OF THE UNIVERSE

2. I have now attended two education seminars. One of them gave me a booklet of notes that looked like a coloring book. So I got some crayons at the hotel gift shop (Spiderman crayons! They’re awesome!) and colored in it. It was pretty fun, actually. Very relaxing. Eight crayons did not stress me out anywhere near as much as twelve towels.

3. Of course, the big draw at these things is the loot. So far: one hoodie, one t-shirt, one measuring tape (?!), five pens (I gave two away to a booth that couldn’t find anything except a pencil), seven buttons, and four tote bags. The big question: Will my suitcase be large enough to carry all my goodies home with me?

Well, one is for your body when you shower, one for your hair, one to put on the bed so it doesn't get wet while you're drying, one for the floor by the tub... One in case something gets spilled on it. Um... one to use as a cape for running around the room playing superhero. That's 6. Well 4 more for your next days shower. Oh! But some people take two showers a day! Which I think is silly for most people. And you are probably expected to steal one. Then you need a couple in case you meet someone while staying there and invite them to dinner and they spill spaghetti all over themselves and need to use your shower.

So, they in fact did not give you ENOUGH towels! You need at least 20 towels. And that's implying you skimp on your towel usage. [nods insistently]

Wow! This is a fantastic breakdown of towel usage! I did attempt to eat and drink as messily as possible, thanks to your suggestions, but still did not (quite) manage to use all my towels. Maybe next time!
