SC wanders up to the counter. "Is she here?"
Me: Is who here?
SC walks away
11:35
SC: Is that girl here?
Me: What girl?
SC: (thinking of a name) Wazza (That first A is a short A as in "Hat")
11:40
I'm at this point adding up our CC totals before I have them processed. SC just stands there at the counter. Hovering, not saying a word. Finally I break the silence and ask if he already has a room here. He does, but takes a few seconds to tell me his room number.
11:50
SC: Is Melissa here?
Me: (OK now we're getting somewhere. A real name at last!) What's her last name so I can look up her room number?
SC: I don't know
11/01/08 12:00am
SC: Is Melissa here? She works here
Me: No, it's just me.
SC: Oh. (Pause)
SC: (Not quite yelling, but more of a projected speaking voice) Melissa! Hey, Melissa! Hey, Baby it's me!
Me: You're not going to find her here.
SC: Oh...(I think I even saw a tear form)
Edit 1:
1:00am
SC comes back down the elevator and grabs coffee. This goes on for about half hour with 5 minute intervals between trips down to the lobby. (The term "trip" could have a double meaning). SC has basketball game on the lobby TV. Mostly harmless
1:15am SC walks up to the counter as if he's about to ask me a question. He doesn't. Instead he just intently studies the free maps we have on our counter.
1:30am SC wanders over to a different section of the counter where the news papers are. Studies both the local paper and the USA Today intently. Only reads the front pages of each paper. Spends 5 minutes total at the counter.
1:35am Goes back to watching basketball. SC seems unable to stay in one place for very long.
1:40 SC goes up the elevator. Will definitely be back.
1:45 SC and I have this following exchange
SC: I left my key in my room
Me: I'll need to see your ID before I make you a new key.
SC: I don't have my ID
Me: I need to have id to let you in your room
SC: The cops took my ID back in Februrary
Me: I'm sorry, but I'll need ID
SC: Come on! The name is under Smith. It used to be under Jones.
Me: I tell you what. I'll make an exception if you can tell me the address I have on file.
SC: 12345 Fake Street
Address and names match. I hand him his key and send him on his way. The last SC is in captivity. The galexy is at peace.
Edit 2:
4:00am
SC has been dormant for a few hours. I get in a few hours of Order of Ecclesia before he makes his return. SC walks in and out of the main entrance like it's going out of style.
4:15am
SC approaches the counter as if he finally has something important to say. He doesn't. I'm saved by a Columbian lady who happens to walk right at that time wanting a room. I bust out my mad foreign language skillz.
4:30am
I'm a little late getting the coffee started for the morning because of the walk-in. On my way from the desk to the kitchen SC is on the couch in the lobby sleeping.
4:45am
SC returns to his room.
Note 1: Between each encounter, he either goes back to sitting on the couch in the lobby to wait for this mystery woman. Meanwhile I go back in the office to play my DS.
Note 2: There was no one staying here by the name of Melissa. Nor do we have anyone that works here with that name.
Note 3: After writing the Edit 1, I have about 20 minutes before I close the current "shift" in order to prepare to run the audit. I can only hope I don't have to open the cash drawer in front of SC
I'm not even a woman and this guy is creeping me out. I can only imagine how the poor mystery woman would feel. My supervisor is coming in to relieve me in the moring. She will definitely know about this guy.
This post will be edited if anything develops.
