notalwaysright_feedRead Meme It Till You Mean It, Part 2
I had to drive my kid to school one morning. She loves looking for the numbers on the local school buses. (They go from 1 to 200, a large school district.) When we are stopped at a light, we see a bus go across with a very unfortunate number...
notalwaysright_feedRead A Gut Feeling
One evening, I had a teenage girl and her mom come in to be registered for the emergency department. The girl needed to be seen, but the mom was being vague.
Mom: "My daughter was in the bathroom tonight and SAW THINGS."

notalwaysright_feedI’ve worked in multiple jobs in my time in the workforce. I started working at fourteen for gig-work and after that have done mostly customer service in different jobs.

notalwaysright_feedRead Outlet Outrage
Caller's Husband: "I don't want it mailed, and I don't feel like driving to your office. I want you to deliver it to me today. Send one of your employees."
Me: "We can send someone, but there is a charge to have someone deliver it and install it."
Caller's Husband: "Why? I didn't break it. This is bull-s***. F*** you and your company. I can't believe you would charge me to replace this."

Guest: *Getting agitated.* "But you're [Hotel Brand]! You should have my number! I'm here all the time! When you see a reservation in my name, just add my number!"
Me: "Yes, ma'am, it's just that our system looks up names from the entire system, across the globe... in one hundred and forty countries. So, we need more information than your name to verify your account."

Why replace it when you have time when you can wait until it dies at 3am before a project is due?

I don't imagine that everyone who reads this comic gets their lessons on how to handle interpersonal situations from it.
Regardless, I really wanted to point out that, no, it's usually not a good idea to respond how Ellen did.
Anyway, I find myself thinking about footstep noise.
The entrance to Hope's suite is below the stairs. If not for dimensional nonsense, the stairs would overlap a great deal with the first room. Because there is dimensional nonsense, however, the sound of those footsteps would have to bounce around and go through the entrance, and there wouldn't be footstep noises where the stairs and room (sort of) overlap.
But... The entrance to the room is the only part that "overlaps" with the outside reality... Sound clearly travels through that entrance, but the walls themselves are beyond the entrance. Sound from outside wouldn't vibrate through those walls, they'd have to come through the open entrance, so...
If every wall, floor, and ceiling is soundproofed, but there's an open door-sized opening, what does that do to sounds going in and out of the room? How soundproof, if at all, is it?
I'm writing this way too late at night to think through this properly. I just wanted to point out that the overlap with stairs was weird, but now I'm trying to figure out how interdimensional soundproofing works.

Customer: "Oh, man, I'm wasted. I'm pretty drunk."
That's not what you want to say to anyone serving alcohol.

A crazy rush has just ended, and the floor of the place is dirty. I take a minute to catch my breath when the manager walks out of his office. He has not been seen since the rush started.
