Rachel is listening to Tyler
Rachel is listening to Tyler (not the Sky High Drop version unfortunately), David is getting funny emails while michael continues his epic showdown with Aaron, James (there's a reason there's no link) continues to make a mockery of the word "weblog" by not posting for over a month, Amy is dancing and forgetting how to count, Other Amy redesigned her whole page, and Lucas is watching movies, but through it all The Chris Hill Festival has lay dormant.
But never fear, in an effort to bring you the best content possible, I bring you a new feature entitled "Fun with a Fake Hotmail Account"
The first entry is an email from me to the fine folks at Kennelwood Pet Resort, a place for people to board their pets while on vacation. I posted about Kennelwood last month, but my archives still aren't working. Anyway, here we go...
To whom it may concern,
I have an odd request, but one which I hope you will consider. My wife Laura will be in the St. Louis area next month on a business trip, and I was wondering if it would be possible for her to stay at your establishment for the week that she will be there. Economic times are tight, so we need to conserve money wherever we can. Most hotels want at least $60-$80 per night for her to stay, but according to your price list it would cost us only $32 per night for her to stay in a lodge at Kennelwood. She loves animals and would not mind sharing her living quarters with some feisty felines or a few of man's best friends. Please forward me any information about the size of the different rooms and any possible deals for a one-week stay in late June/early July. Also, she loves Golden Retrievers, and would prefer to room with that breed if at all possible. Thank you for your time and consideration, my wife looks forward to a pleasant stay.
Sincerely,
[xxxxx xxxxx]
They replied the next day with...
Dear [xxxxx],
Yes, yours is an odd request! I can understand your thought process in
trying to same money, but our rooms are not really meant for human visitors.
The beds in our Suites and Lodges are toddler-size beds, meaning they are
meant for a 4-5 year old and aren't even as large as a twin bed. This
wouldn't be too comfortable for your wife, especially if she has sleep there
for a whole week. Plus, she would have to bathe for a week in the grooming
room, not too private! And to be honest, I don't think our insurance
company would cover any mishaps that could occur during her stay. I hope
you can understand that point from a business aspect. I don't know where
your wife's business meetings will be held, but have you tried calling the
less expensive chains, like Red Roof Inn, etc. I'd also check for cheaper
rates on the internet. You can get some really good deals. I just hate to
think of your wife having to stay at our pet hotel for entire week! Not
that our pet hotel is a bad place, it's very wonderful. But again, the
rooms weren't meant for human visitors. Good luck in your search and I hope
you two can work something out.
