“There’s somebody stuck in the bath”
For once it wasn’t me in a scrape nor me stuck in the bath! One of the housekeeping staff came up to reception earlier in the week to report that somebody had said they were stuck in their bath so Joyce despatched Jackie to investigate. Joyce had two reasons for sending Jackie, she was previously employed in a care home so is highly trained at lifting people and she has just started doing duty management shifts.
Jackie went down to the room, saw a do not disturb sign but had no option but to knock and enter, calling out that she was the receptionist. When she got around to the bathroom she knocked on the door and the gentleman came out just in his boxers. He was a little surprised to say the least but was able to reassure Jackie that neither he not his wife was stuck so Jackie was able to beat a retreat (swiftly!)
I was reminded to write about this because Jackie has just spoken to him again at reception - he was asking if she managed to find out where the stuck person was. I appeared at the end of this conversation but Jackie was still very red. At least he is now able to see the funny side of this but I am sure we will all tease Jackie mercilessly until the next incident involving somebody else.
