This is what happens when you work four nights in a row as a hotel operator for a four-diamond hotel in its off-season. I have to be there in case the phone rings but it, in fact, does not ever do so. I believe it has currently been an hour and ten minutes since I last answered the phone. Instead, I visit every single website on the internet, and when I'm finished with the internet, I read, but if I get bored with that, I make lists. Like this one. The mother of all lists. This is even worse than the time I typed up
the first sentence of every one of my books and those times I alphabetized my
DVD and
book collections. This is also worse than the fact that I regularly update all three of those lists. Are you ready for it? Are you sure? Are you really, really sure? Ok, here* goes.
