Welcome to My Life at the Front Desk an Intro

So I work at a small boutique hotel in a very historic yet popular tourist destination. I work the front desk and I run into some interesting people from all over North America and Europe. I also work with some interesting people as well.

In this my first post I thought I'd just give you an introduction to the characters that will appear on this blog from time to time. Of course all of their names have been changed not to protect the innocent so much as me. This blog will probably be more about the guests, but sometimes the people at the hotel are twice as entertaining as the people who stay here. Hence why you'll need to know who they are.

THE DESK STAFF:
Me - 30-something guy who has his own faults to be sure
WhoWhat - Our desk "manager" who is at least 65yrs old and nearly deaf and has been in the hospitality industry since this whole Internet thing got started.
Jack - 40 something gay man who is constantly on a diet and generally hung over.
Catfish - 20ish guy who is a compulsive liar and can never do his job right.
MIA - Our General Manager. Late 40s closeted gay man who "works" more hours from home than any person alive leaving the desk staff to run the hotel the best they can.

HOUSEKEEPING:
Ellie Mae - Our white (very country) head housekeeper who supervises our all African-American HK Staff. Shes the opposite of grace and her ideal night out would include the phrase 'endless shrimp.'
Fred - Our Maintenance Man who tries to do as little as possible while appearing busy. Imagine Fred Sanford of Sanford and Sons except a burnt out, two pack a day, overweight white, former hippie.
Gerald - Our Houseman who is one of the hardest working people you'd ever meet.
The Housekeepers - Too many in and out to list them all, but I'll mention them as needed.

THE VALETS:
Tiny - Early 20s guy who is smart phone addicted and would be your last choice for your trivia team.
Slim - Another early 20s guy very sheltered and about the most 'white bread' guy you'd ever meet.
Scooter - You guessed it, another early 20s guy who is smarter than he looks but not the most motivated on the planet.
