    Wow... I didn't know jellyfish could be managers.

    No vacation is "perfect". That lady is in for a WORLD of disappointment.
    Not entirely true, a full paid vacation to where ever you like, with a minigun (or other weapon of choice), and as much ammunition as you can expend at whatever target you like, consequence free, now that's perfect right there.

    Also, vacations are far more memorable if you just play it as things go instead of trying to plan out every minute detail in advance. Then its not a vacation, its slavishly following a script.

    The most interesting vacations are the spontaneous ones. Just pack a few small bags, such as a few days of clothes, standard toiletries bag, and perhaps a few books. Pick a direction, and then head off that way.

    I probably would have told her:

    "Look, each grain of sand changes location at random times.. since it's not in the perfect spots that you want them to be every second.. this will ruin your vacation. Good luck in your search for perfection because it's not here."

    started a topic you should know these things, Dave

    you should know these things, Dave

    Guest: Dave, I booked a villa but the pictures dont give me a good enough sense of the location

    Me: what do you need to know?

    Guest: well what surrounds the building?

    Me: it is near a beach path

    Guest: what, you cant be more descriptive than that?

    Me: what do you want to know?

    Guest: I mean is it a gravel beach path or concrete, what are we talking about here? Is the beach path surrounded by grass and if so, what kind of grass?

    Me: I am not really sure

    Guest: and that's it....you arent going to offer to find out?

    Me: hang on

    I come back pretending to check

    Me: ma'am nobody knows

    Guest: I dont understand that...dont people ask these questions before they come down there?

    Me: no, not really

    Guest: OK well I am also noticing that there is a tree near that building and I need to know how often that tree is pruned

    Me: I am not sure

    Guest: well thats strike two.....Dave, you're not impressing me

    Me: I am very sorry

    Guest: am I just asking silly questions here?

    Me: no ma'am not at all (yea right)

    Guest: well I need a better description, Dave, it is very important to me, ok...(she starts crying) I know it's not important to you but we have saved for 5 years for this vacation and the thought that it wont be perfect is too much to bear....I'd die, Dave. I have no mental picture and it worries me. I need someone to gice me a better feel for this place or I wont sleep tonight. This is my vacation and its just too important.

    Me: hang on

    The manager actually went down there and had to take 47 pictures of the complex (I am not kidding) before this lady was finally satisfied. Uggggg
Working...
