Okay Kids,
Today we will take a lesson from Fred and Betty's code of business ethics. When all else fails, LIE. Thats right kids, I said, "LIE" Here in the valley we will manipulate any weed and make it a rose. Whether you are talking to the press, future hotel patrons or the misfit toys themselves, LIE. I said it and you can lie to make all your problems go away. Here are a few expamples that will help you become a great hotel proprietor some day:
Example 1. You find your not going to meet your opening deadline again and everyone is asking questions......... HMMM what should you do.......... Just lie, pretend the question asked is the silliest thing you have every heard and deny the hotel will not be ready..
Example 2. Ok you missed your deadline and folks have come in from all over the Swiss Province to spend the night. What to do, most people would have angina at this point, not you... Simply lie, Offer them a nice comfortable tent and sleeping bag down in the meadow, tell them this is four star service and this is Swiss service at its finest. Crisis averted, maybe not. HMMM just lie again - just blame someone else. After all this is the Valley of Misfit Toys no one expects too much.
Example 3. Ok final example kids. Your Uncle and his partner are ballooning in for a committment ceremony. You have reassurred them everything is ready from the flowers to the punch to the committment cake. Your Uncle and his partner are in the balloon and flying over Misfit Valley. They arrive to find the doors have been barracaded with a stop work order and the caterers sit in there trucks waiting to get in. OH NO!!! HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF THIS ONE? RELAX KIDS, just LIE. Blame Charlie in the Box and the Toy Train with square wheels for their incompetence. Then simply set up the reception by the Johnny on the spots, throw some white netting over the out houses and again pretend that everything is great. Sure you look like a fool, but you have successfully lied your way out of another sticky situation.
Oh, look at the time I have to go.... Another job interview were I will have to lie and tell the job candidate how smoothly everything is going. If I decide to hire this person I will have to lie again and tell them to start in a few weeks, when in fact I know it will be 3 or 4 months before the beautiful Swiss Style Hotel and Salon will open.
I love my job.............
Bye for now KIDS......................... Otshikale la wolo
