A Second Letter to the Man in Room Six

Dear Sir,

Further to my last correspondance I would like to thank you for respecting our hygene policies and not vomiting on the floor again. We are all most grateful. However, one further matter has come to our attention, and that is the unusual odour permeating Room Six since the beginning of your stay.
After a certain amount of consideration, we have come to the conclusion that this is caused by several issues which I will go through in this letter.

First off, I would like to take this opportunity to note that it is possibly not the wisest of ideas to store half a Salami, a low-fat strawberry yoghurt and a bottle of milk out on the dresser during what is perhaps one of the hottest summers on record. If you prefer perhaps we could refridgerate them for you in the kitchen, or maybe just dispose of them as the health hazard they have surely become after almost a week of this weather. I know for a fact the Salami no longer smells the healthiest of meaty snacks.
However, this decision to store food in your room may go some way to explaining the unfortunate event about which I last wrote to you.

Secondly and on a slightly more personal note, sir I would like to remind you that the shower in your en-suite is available for you convenience any time of the day or night. Hot water is not rationed, and while we staff are indeed grateful in some ways to be releived the chore of cleaning it daily, we are slightly less grateful about the result is is having upon you. For sir, if I may say so boldly, after almost a fornight, you're getting a bit... whiffy.
This in and of itself is, obviously enturely your choice but it does lead me to my final request and, in essence the main reason for writing this letter.
Please, Sir, may we have out Ambi-Pur room fragrancer back?

I understand over the course of the last week a silent battle over this item has been raging, with we staff plugging it in every morning and you unplugging it and putting it on the widowsill again when you return. Now I understand your dislike for them (and quite frankly I don't like them that much either, they make me sneeze) but I fear even if we did got to certain lengths to plug the fragrancer into places you were less likely to find it, it is a little out of line sir, to hide the Ambi-Pur socket completely. And trust me, for I looked really hard for it. (That's how I found the yoghurt and salami, by the way.)
However, back to my point. In the battle of smells, while you may prefer to go au-naturel in a self-produced and therefore inoffensively perceived whiff, sadly we staff would rather take our chances with the Ambi-Pur than work repeatedly in a room quite so comprehensively saturated with your own unique rank odour.
I am hoping this matter can be resolved through comprimise. Say if we turn the scent level down and leave the window open, maybe you could see your way clear to not unplugging the room fragrancer and maybe taking a shower?
If this arrangement does not suit you please contact me as swiftly as possible so we can find a mutually agreeable solution to this problem.

Sincerely,
Staff

Picture Perfect

So apparently I've lost my mind. It's 90 degrees out, only just over the hottest part of the day, and I'm wandering the area with my digicam taking snapshots for NO GOOD REASON.

I think I've lost my mind.

OK, it was hot, this apparently makes me slightly photographic. I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the need to record the heat so I can remember it with distorted fondness when winter rolls around. Maybe it's just psychosis, who knows?



These are the highly unexciting woods just up the path from my house. They're mostly full of flies, nettles and things that will spike you if given half a chance. According to my granny they're also full of muggers and perverts who would do harm to poor helpless innocent 20 year old girls with a pissed-off looking Alsatian at her heels.
Uh huh... yeah... ok...

( See what else happens when LT gets a random notion in her head )

I had a buncha stuff to say earlier but most of it's escaped out of my head so I'm guessing it can't have been that important.
Maybe it'll come back to me later.

*gah*

Picked up a couple of books while I was in town too. Cause I really don't read enough. At least not anything that's not fic ;p
So, I got Robert Rankin's "Hollow Cholcolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse", because it's been too long since I picked up one of his books, and also Rob Grant's "Colony". I'm kinda' in two minds about that one actually, after the painfully depressing fare that was Backwards I'm hoping this doesn't follow that route.
On the other hand it's not Red Dwarf related so I'm hoping he's gotten over himself and has cheered up enough to write something actually funny.

Sweedish Bus Driver counteracts the heat

Talking of the heat, I think I'm slowly dying. God, it's reached the slow, slow, baking part of the day. At least earlier it was sort of shimmery hot, now it's just fucking unbearable, like it's radiating out of the ground instead of coming from the sky... which in effect it probably is.

Gone from the grill to the oven... I have a headache >.

Your name of -------- gives you a very idealistic but passive outlook on life. You desire culture and all the refinements of life but you are inclined to live in your dreams. Although you would like to do many things, procrastination undermines your accomplishment and success in life. You do not like to create issues and will do anything to avoid a conflict. Making decisions is difficult for you without the support and approval of others. This name gives you a very sensitive nature, making you feel much that you do not understand. Your feelings are easily hurt, at which times you are inclined to withdraw and become uncommunicative. Although you desire the friendship and association of others, you find it difficult to express your thoughts through the spoken word, and others find you hard to get to know. It is much more natural for you to express your deeper thoughts in writing. Inner tension can deplete your physical vitality. You are inclined to indulge in rich foods that lack proper nourishment. The physical weaknesses due to this name centre in the heart and respiratory organs, and in the fluid functions.


Hmm, not sure I agree with ALL of that but the spoken word/ written thing is certainly creepy accurate.

Fluid functions, eh? Only thing I can think of there is my tendancy to forget that I need to drink, and I'm training myself not to do that so much ;)

(no subject)

Jesus, my head hurts... >.<

Fuck.
*whimper*

Man, I don't feel so good...
