Work continues insanely busy. In the midst of darkness there is always a bright spot, however. My wacky clients and their palsied grasp on the realities of travel never let me down. When I'm feeling overworked and frantic to meet deadlines I can always count on someone calling me up with a Very Special Question.
CLIENT
I want to go to Las Vegas.LUCY
Okay. When are you going?CLIENT
I want to go to Las Vegas. L-A-S V-E-G-A-S.LUCY
Yes, I got that part. Dates, number of people, what airport, preferred hotel?CLIENT
Well, of course I prefer a hotel.LUCY
Oh. Good. Good. Date?CLIENT
I don't need a date! I'm going by myself!LUCY
That's fine, sir. You'll need to come into our office to get a quote on a package to Las Vegas.CLIENT
I do? So you won't waste your time on the phone but you'll waste it in person?LUCY
BWAHAHAHA!CLIENT
