A bunch of useless crap
Published on November 9, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
I stayed in this hotel several weeks ago. I had removed my diamond earring which was a gift from a lady, and laid it on the sink while I showered. After I had checked out of the hotel and was several hundred miles away I realized that I had forgotten my earring.

The last time I stayed here, a few weeks ago, I asked the lady working the desk if it had by chance been turned in by housekeeping. She said that it hadn't. Oh well.

When I checked in here today a different lady (the last one was new) was working the desk. She knew me from the many times I have stayed here and said that she had something for me. She took a small plastic bag from the desk drawer and handed it to me. It had my name on it. It contained my earring. Housekeeping had indeed turned it in and she had put it away for me and it was just bad luck that she hadn't been working the desk on my last stay.

It was a very pleasant surprise, and very nice of her to make a point of keeping it safe for me. I am also impressed that housekeeping was honest enough to turn it in.

You know, sometimes, just when I think the world is going to shit, something (or more importantly; someone) comes along and restores my faith in it. This is one of those times.

I guess you'll be staying at this hotel again, yes?

Yeah just about the time you're convinced that everyone is a cheat, liar, or thief some honest person comes along and screws it all up.
