This past week the hotel dumpster has been invaded by 2, maybe 3, mischievous skunks looking for some yummy leftovers and causing a stink!
So last Friday, traps were set out for the skunks with instructions for us to call if any became trapped so they could be relocated.
Well, apparently, one was caught late Friday night - after the ktichen staff and I had left - and was making quite a bit of noise rattling aroudn in his trap. Mind you the trap was set inside the fence that houses the dumpster and the gate was mostly closed but not shut all the way.
So some concerned hotel guests thought they should investigate the sound of the noise and walked into the dumpster area almost getting sprayed!!!! My co-worker on the night audit said they walked in the front door pretty ticked talking about how they almost got sprayed and it was our fault. WHAT!?!
Lesson Here: Don't investigate suspicious noises, especially in a DUMPSTER! If it worries you that much, tell the hotel. I'm sure they know what's going on. If not, you could end up on the bad side of a skunk.
P.S. We caught one more skunk on Saturday night and so we roped off the dumpster with bright yellow caution tape to deter any curious guests that might try to help!

for the love people, if you are gonna go nosing around a dumpster, take responsibility for your actions. Some people!
So, as far as Alli I did not take her a sticker. I took Chris' advice and let that be a lesson learned for her, but I will admit, it hurt. She came home all smiles with a green shamrock taped to the front ot her. Her teacher did that for several kids that came without green, so crisis averted.
