“It Walked Off”

Sometimes people say things and I don’t even have a suitable response because it is so ridiculous!!!

When we have events at our venue we give the renter a key and then they are supposed to lock up after the event and drop the key in a mail drop box on the door – super easy!!!

Wednesday, late in the afternoon, I met a lady at the venue who had the place booked for the evening.  

After a jam packed day, I finally sat down to relax (read blogs!!) about 7:00 pm.  

At 8:00 the lady who had  rented the venue called me.  She said that she had a small problem.  “The key walked off.”

What?!  How does that even happen???  

She said that she had looked everywhere.  After telling her there would be a charge if it didn’t turn up by the next day I told her that she could leave and I would head over to lock up (20 minutes each way).

Hunter rode with me to lock up.  We did a quick walk-through of the place to look for the key.  It was in plain site on the kitchen counter!!!

While I was happy to find the key before I had googled ‘Locksmith Mentone‘ to find someone who could come and change the locks, I was beyond frustrated!!!  I had already spent  most of the day working over there and then the rest of the day playing “mom taxi” since I’m solo parenting this week!!

Oh, well – at least the key ran back home!!!

Happy Friday!!
