So I need everyone to keep their fingers crossed... I can't find my wallet. I figure it has to be at home, right? Right? But I am not at home, because it would be too easy to lose your wallet when you don't need to check into a hotel. In case you were wondering, you can't check into a hotel without a credit card and a picture ID. And $18 in cash won't get you in either. It was a very bad night last night. Thank god I was travelling with people. Or I'd have been sleeping in the lobby. Or wherever you can sleep in Detroit for $18. Not a pretty thought. So someone I worked with checked me in with his credit card. Ugh. I felt like such a loser... So I went to check out this morning. And I know the hotel had my credit card number on file, because they need it to hold the room in case you don't show up. So I go to the counter and tell the woman I'm checking out and want to put the charges on the card used to hold the room. Then I explain that I've lost my wallet and don't have my card. I told her the card I gave last night is a friends and I want the charges on my account instead. So the woman says no problem, we can put the charges on my card. She just needs to see my card. So I again explain that I don't have my card. And she's just looking at me. So I said, well, if I hadn't shown up last night, you would have charged the card you had on file, right? She says yes. So I ask, well, can we just pretend I didn't show up? And she looks at me weird but says sure. So I say great. And she says, I'll just need to see your card. So I asked her what the hell she didn't understand, I didn't have any cards, threw the key on the counter and told her the room stank and I was staying at the Marriot next time. And then I left. And I'm mad at the Westin. Even if they have heavenly beds. OK, that wasn't really a good story, I just needed to get it out of my system.
