Sleep on it

I traced this from the web by hand.
The purpose of this is:

To bring back both a Thief, and the Goods which be stolen;
and to discover all Wickedness, and Underhand Dealing;
and to punish all Thieves and other Wicked People
and also to discover Treasures that be Hid

Tonight I sleep waiting to hear The Jury’s decision on our case. My hope is that they believe above all else, the truth.

If you wish to lend your energy, please copy or repost this image and hold it with you until we hear the news.

Thanks.

Andrei vs. Housekeeping. QB-Kn5 – A note!

For those following the case of the over served coffee; today I returned to the room with an all new surprise. NO COFFEE. But Jinkies, Shaggy; there was a clue.

The Maid had left a note. In…. Spanish.

Well, it’s my own damned fault for writing them a note in Spanish. I guess I really couldn’t expect the maid to go to Google Translate to convert her note to English.

Unfortunately, her note is handwritten. And I don’t speak Spanish. So I’m not even sure I’ve gotten the words correctly.

Click for larger. No I'm not sure how it got on its side.

Heather and I think the note says:
Tome el papel para ponerle en la oficina para que no se olviden de que no tienen que ponerle cafe.

Which Google translates as:
Take the paper to put in the office so do not forget that they have to put coffee

Which I then translate as “We took the paper to our Housekeeping office to remind whoever does your room, “NO COFFEE”

So, I’m attaching the note… feel free to help out with our investigation. There’s a Scooby Snack in it if you help us discover it was old man Jenkins.. Or whatever.

I’m just having fun writing letters back and forth to maid service. Matter of fact a response with translation would be really awesome!

Thanks!

Extra coffee taken away. No coffee left!

No tea left… No sugar replaced… sigh…

Minor victory… but a step in the right direction. (I had to go downstairs and get some splenda from the restaurant)

I need to find someone fluent in Spanish to help me leave messages 🙂

Yesterday I left a note for housekeeping:

“No Coffee Please”

They leave about 3 coffee samples and they are in bags with the coffee filters to attach to the water generator in the room.

Neither H nor I drink coffee. I figured, rather than getting something that will just lie around… I’ll leave a note.

Housekeeping saw the word Coffee and thought I wanted MORE. And they left MOOORREEEE. I talked to the front desk who explained that housekeeping didn’t speak English, only Spanish

Well, unfortunately I’m back to the basura scandal of 2002. I will link to that when I find it.

So, round two. Today I left a two sided note. The front said, “Flip page for English” at the top and then (thanks to Google Translate:)

Hola, servicio de limpieza.

Por favor, no sustituir el café

Ya no se bebe café. El café se tiran a la basura

Nosotros preferimos tomar el té. Le invitamos a salir de extra de eso.

Gracias.

Por favor, tome de nuevo el café. No queremos ponerlo en la basura.

I really hope that is translated correctly.

The back of course starts with: “Por favor, a su vez este documento al otro lado del español.”

And then (for those that don’t speak Spanish or at least comprehend google translated Spanish):

Hello, housekeeping.

Please don't replace the coffee

We do not drink coffee. We will throw it in the trash.

We prefer tea. You are welcome to leave extra of that.

Thank you.

Please take back this coffee. We don't want to put it in the trash.

I’ll report on my successes/failures tomorrow.

An IM conversation (or What? 2 in one week?!?!)

Messaged a friend this morning: This was the discourse –

Me:
Good morning, Starshine. The Earth says, “How ya doin?”

C:
The Earth, as a rule, doesn’t give a damn how I’m doing.

Me:
Oh, no it does. It told me. It has about 14 people in the world that it decided to consciously concern itself with and surprisingly you are one of 3 Americans. One is a paraplegic in Wyoming, the other is an intern with Henson’s Creature shop
I pause for a moment
Um, could you forget what I just said. I don’t think I was supposed to tell you that

C:
I love my friends.

Me:
?

C:
How many people do you know who’d just come out with that, spontaneously?

Me:
What, besides me?
You

C:
My point exactly. Not many of us, so I like the ones there are.

Me:
On a regular basis, I check in with my wife, “So, are you bored with me?”

C:
I take it she says No.

Me:
So far

I then relayed the conversation to my wife and it continued:

H:
Though why would the Earth tell you about these things if you weren’t one of the people it concerns itself with?

Me:
Oh, it doesn’t concern itself with me. It assumes I can do fine on my own. Actually sometimes comes to me for advise. Well, sometimes; normally it gets annoyed with me when I accidentally tip the vessel of knowledge when it comes to its personal interests. But, you know how it goes 😉

H:
You give advice to the Earth. And it hasn’t spontaneously sprouted a volcano in Washington DC?

Me:
Temporally. What the hell do you think Mt. Saint Hellen’s was. It was the time equivalent of a shot just over the bow.
Oh, wait, you said DC

H:
yeeeess

Me:
We’re working on that
I pause for a moment
Um, could you forget what I just told you. I don’t think I was supposed to say that

H:
*snicker*
