Don't Cry Over a Flooded Bathroom

We checked in to the Hyatt Regency, St. Louis. We are on a limited time frame. It is 7:00 and getting dark, we need to see the Arch! We get to our room and it is great.
 





Awesome contemporary decor and a view of the Mississippi and the Arch. Everything I needed to have a successful trip to St. Louis.







A quick potty before we take off for the park, and things go awry.... water is everywhere.  By the time maintenance can get up to the room. Water has covered the bathroom floor, has traveled out into the room, through the hallway, and is knocking on the other room's door.






We get a key for a new room right away. So just hope we still get a view of the Arch. We are blown away by the size of the room.







I think you can say we got a pretty good view of the Arch...

And of downtown... You can see the ball field from here too!





Wow! What a crazy day it was. Looking forward to seeing what is across that Mississippi!

:) Thanks for reading- Michelle

I like folders and office supplies.

But You Have to Draw a Line Somewhere.

I'm on the cusp of three years at my current job. I'm a creative. I have organizational tendencies, but am not anal about it. (This introductory sentence is pretty weird, huh?) What I'm saying it that I like folders and office supplies. I like to use them to keep myself on track and to make me feel good about myself.

I have a new office at work, and it is much more spacious. I feel really excited and motivated to start fresh and new. My biggest task with the move is weeding out the drawers of files that have accumulated over the 5 years that this position has been in existence. I am not sure who, where, or why some of these documents require a folder, but I'm also afraid of tossing something I will regret. In the past, I figure it is easier to push them to the back of the drawer, than to decide if they are worth it. However, with the excitement of the new space. I'm going to tackle this project!

I really question how busy the past graphic designer was. No, actually I have a pretty good idea. For instance, the job title was "Desktop Publisher" I believe that, right there, is enough to help me understand why they had time to TYPE every folder label. Really... who does this? Is there any graphic designer in the world that types the labels for their files? I'm talking folding files, hanging files, everything. Gag me.

Seriously, who needs a file folder called Voice Mail?
