Hotel Maintenance Man and his tools.

Spending most of my working hours in hotels yields itself to meeting some very interesting people. So this week I am in a hotel in downtown Nashville that has a variety of clientele. The one that made my day was the maintenance man. Here is the story he told me.

He started working this job three weeks ago. Last weekend they call him in to fix a TV in an occupied room. So as he is working away he has some of his hand tools on the floor behind him. He turns around to pick up a screw driver and it’s gone. Looks up and low and behold the wife is proceeding to stab her husband. He couldn’t believe it. Apparently she wasn’t trying to hard so he wasn’t heard badly. Next he tells me that his wife is a detective for Metro and she is the one assigned to the case. At that point we depart the maintenance room, locking the door with all the tools behind us.

Just thought I would share a moment in time from one of my days on the road around America.
