Anne, you certainly deserve a day of lounging! My god, girl!

Hi Raquel!

Yay on being done, vw, and on the lounging day, Anne.

Good morning all. It's snowing here. Some reports say it will be the biggest snow drop in DC this year.

Suits my mood. In the cold, bitter sense...not the fluffy!whee sense.

The inn was sold yesterday to people who literally sat at the table and outlined how the book of Revelations clearly states that Bill Clinton is the anti-christ. Plus? They are shutting the doors and canceling dozens of reservations I have worked hard to get, including the wedding party of some very good friends of mine.

The current owners, who are supposedly friends of mine, simply don't care about the inconvenience and dishonor involved in breaking these agreements.

Me? I'm in a moral dilemma. How can I help put money in the pockets of intolerant asshats (psycho religious new owners) or support my 'friends' in destroying this wonderful place and kicking out even the people who have prepaid to live here for 3 months?

When I signed on to help out with this gig, I had this fantasy that some great buyer would see the fantastic opportunity here, keep it as an inn. I planned on helping the new folks hire a new manager and upgrade the record keeping system...lalalalalala.

Bah.

{{{Beej}}} That is so horrible I have words. I wish I'd had a chance to see the place before the loonies came in.

Oh, Beej, how awful. They sound like nutbars, and incredibly unprofessional to boot. What a nightmare.

I hope to God they're at least planning on refunding everyone all their deposits and prepaid stays and everything, but still. Are they trying to run this place into the ground and ruin their own business reputations on purpose?

I don't think that Revelation is a crystal ball, but I will say that those asshats are wrong as wrong can be. Revelation indicates that the antichrist will be European or possibly an apostate Jew.

Not a Good 'Ol Boy.

Maybe they're reading the Redneck edition.

Beej, insent.

Very good questions JZ.

It turns out that it isn't even the asshats that are being dishonorable. The wifeof the co-owning team...the one who take Bartleby out in the morning for godsake...had some hysterical fit about 'what if something happens!' between closing on the house and emptying it (which would have been very, very easy to do in June simply by not taking any more reservations. Which would have meant disappointing about 20 people as opposed to the now required 130 people.)

What if something happens? The house has been open, incident free, for 30 f'ing years. Plus, isn't that what insurance (that they already have in spades) is for?

I'm frankly bewildered. And hurt. And thinking there is not enough money in the world they can pay me to make those hundreds of phone calls and bear all that disappointment.

Frack.

Given her mindset, it was probably something like "One of our loyal employees/clients, whom we're shafting by selling out to nutbars, might take revenge on us."
