Up At 4 At Super 8 In VT....


OK, so I’m up at 4 because I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep for all the traffic is 10 feet from the room door. There’s rain, so it makes it oh so much more quiet. A minute of sleep…….VROOOM. A minute of sleep……VROOOM.

So, I thought I’d get myself up, make a cup of nice coffee in the room. OK, when you leave someone a coffee maker, coffee, water…….what could possibly go wrong??? Hmmmm, maybe……a filter?

So I drag myself out of the room, go grab my coffee cup out of my truck, head towards the lobby. No one’s there, but I don’t care there’s coffee! Mmmm, look to my left….Raisin Bran! I’ll have myself a bowl of Raisin Bran too, nothing special. Let’s see….hmm, where are the bowls? And milk? **** it. I’ll just grab an apple juice from this dispenser thingy they got in the corner here. Hope it’s cold, my mouth is tasting a little like bird poop from all the beer I drank last night.

Gulp, gulp, gulp……aaahh. Cold, tastes good. Hmmm….what the?

Fruit flies…..in my apple juice. All over the dispenser now that I clear my head and actually look….at 4 in the morning. It's now left a nice aftertaste. Prolly fermented.

My day is going to suck.

It's my policy to never say "well it can't get any worse"
because...well...you know...

But hopefully your day will go up from here
Good Luck

And actually, there's a little more to the story. I went in oh..half hour to hour later and there was a lobby full of people.....drinking their morning cup of OJ. I went over to the machine, saw the swarm of fruit flies still buzzing around, then confronted the guy in my usual pleasant manner that I have.

He said "I cleaned it, what else would you like me to do?"

I said "People in theis lobby are drinking fruit flies, like I did a half hour ago!"

You should have seen the look on peoples faces. He actually was mad at me. threatened to throw me out LOL. I wasn't in a very good mood this morning, but my wife sure got a chuckle out of it.
