As with heaven, only certain people are chosen to be Night Audit clerks: you have to be either left-handed or transgendered, and like reading.
At the lodge where I worked last summer in Utah, the main Night Audit clerk was Linda, a Danny DeVito lookalike with a grey ponytail, who wore bright red nail polish and flowered shirts. Technically/physically she was a man, but she preferred to be referred to as a woman. I used to see her reading in the cafeteria all the time.
The Night Audit relief clerk there was (I think still is?) Rodney, a left-handed Native American man who had a bunch of intimidating philosophy books in his employee housing dorm room. I borrowed one, never read it, gave it back.
The main Night Audit clerk here is a left-handed woman who has mentioned bringing a book with her to work. And this lodge's newest Night Audit relief person is moi, a lefty who got herself a Matanuska-Susitna Borough library card today.

To those who would say it's arbitrary and unfair that only transgendered or left-handed readers get to go to heaven, I say: The ways of hotel front desk managers are not our ways.

The longer I think about Linda the more I think she may have been left-handed as well. But I'm not sure if I think that because it would be perfect, or if she really was.
ReplyDeleteThe ways of the Hotel Front Desk Managers are not our ways, nor are their thoughts our thoughts ;)
ReplyDeleteYou're going to love the stillness and freedom of being up all night, punctuated, obviously, by random and ridiculous events/adventures/emergencies I expect to read about!!
I totally qualify. Lefty, not transgendered, in case you were wondering :)
