We are exhausted, physically, mentally & emotionally. This is the time of year we get bad reviews. I am not fit to answer the door before 3 PM. I HAVE to sit down and eat lunch and just veg for a little bit.
Walk past the window upstairs and see someone trying the doorknob at the inn entrance. Then putting his shoulder to the door and banging it. No, it doesn't open, it's locked. There is a sign.
Person gets on the phone and calls us. Tells me he is standing on the porch. I tell him check in is at 3 and he gives me grief, gets snarky with me. Another guest a few minutes later and they have parked themselves in the yard. DH has to go out to get FOOD. He doesn't want to go. He doesn't want to have to tell them they can't check in yet, that he is leaving.
I want to sit down and cry. Seriously. I am one more crappy guest comment away from a complete meltdown. (And subsequent trashing on TA and/or Yelp.)
OK, I am now breathing deeply. And SO looking forward to FOUR days off next week.
