love, rosie 373Rosie: Define bad.Alex: Oh come on . . .Rosie: No it hasn’t but I wouldn’t complain if it became a whole lot better.Alex: Well, none of us would ...the job must be exciting for you.Rosie: It really, really is. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! I haven’t feltlike that for a long, long time. I know the job is temporary and thatI’m only in training but I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity.Alex: You’ve waited too long for it. I of all people no how much you’vewanted this. I used to hate it when you made me play Hotel.Rosie: Ha ha, I remember that. I was always the person in charge and youhad to be the customer!Alex: I hated being the customer because you would never leave me alone.You kept fluffing my pillows and lifting my feet up on stools for thecustomer’s “comfort.”Rosie: My god, I’d forgotten all about that! I used to try to be like the guyon Fantasy Island who looked after his guests so much he woulduse magic to give them their dreams.Alex: I don’t call forcing me to go to bed at two in the day, tucking me inso tight that I could hardly breathe a comfort/dream-providing service!I don’t no what type of manager you were trying to be but ifyou behave like that with your real customers then a few of themwill have restraining orders against you.Rosie:Alex:Rosie:These days people don’t generally like being given daily schedules bytheir manager of what they have to do for their day in the hotel. (Andif they don’t obey the list, their manager will go home in a sulk andstay that way all day until the customer apologizes.) The phrase “Thecustomer is always right” is one you’ll need to remember Rosie.At least it wasn’t as bad as playing Hospital.Now that was a game and a half!It was a stupid game Alex. All it involved was you trying to trip meup in the school yard so I would cut myself and you would have totend to me. Mum and Dad used to wonder where I was getting allthe cuts and bruises from.
