Harrison and I are on the Cape for a competition. Staying at a nice hotel. We are sharing the hotel with other skaters, some families who are here to use the heated outdoor pool on a beautiful Fall weekend, and the MIT African-American Women's Alliance Group.
Harrison and I don't like housekeeping coming in once we've set up camp. I put the trash baskets out and look for the housekeeping cart for whatever we need....a bar of soap, a couple of face cloths, etc.
This morning, I open the door to the hallway and see the housekeeping cart but no housekeeper. I walk over to the cart and help myself to a small bottle of shampoo and a small bar of soap. We could use a box of Kleenex, but I don't see any.
I look around to figure out which room the housekeeping staff is servicing. I hear a rustle coming from the other side of the door where the cart is parked. I gently knock on the door.
An African-American woman opens the door, dressed in a nice outfit. I apologize for bothering her saying, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was looking for housekeeping (and point to the cart parked outside her door to explain why I chose her door)."
She screams at me: "I am NOT from Housekeeping!! I have MANY degrees! MANY!"
I am taken aback. She is PISSED.
She continues ranting, "I would never do housekeeping. I have too many degrees for that."
I wanted to tell her to get some people skills to complement her degrees.
