I just got home and I'm trying to catch up on the laundry and just relax a bit. The no vacancy sign is out and so far we've accepted two walk ins along with two reserved rooms. Doubled the occ for tonight in 5 minutes.
Wonder what would have happened with the vacancy sign out?!
I do that too. Mark everything off in ResKey, to get a little break, then I cave in when somebody contacts me and asks for a room and all I see are dollar signs..
One guest asked if there was a discount for it being his birthday. Tough to turn down a birthday request.

Years ago, Generic took me to Stowe, VT for my birthday, and we went to Ben & Jerry's factory. After the tour, I asked Generic which ice cream he is buying me for my B'day. Girl behind the counter hears me, and says 'on your birthday, you get free ice cream'. Forward a few years, we go by the factory again, the day AFTER my birthday, and jokingly, I ask 'Do you get free ice cream the day after your birthday', kid behind the counter says 'Sure, why not' .... If you don't ask you won't get !
