At your service. Please let me know if we can provide anything else. Enjoy your stay. Would you like a menu?
Oooh! Hacienda Boy! Thank you. Be a dear and put it right here by my laptop.
Thanks guys. Carmina, I'm in an admin/support job, which is good because I don't have to Make Business Happen, like sell stuff or schmooze or anything, but bad because my work is actual worky-work - if it's here, it doesn't go away till I do it.
Work-related items are verboten at Hacienda Metaxatl, rainbaby, thus your laptop will be confiscated briefly by a crack team of highly-trained proto-human homo bonobos; I've given them instructions to complete all your open tasks and go forward with enough work so that you'll have nothing to worry about during your stay. It should take them about five minutes, after which we'll return your laptop and refresh your drink.
Lunch will be served anytime you like, just ring this bell and one of our robot otters will bring you a menu.
Hugs, hon, it'll all work itself out. Besides, as I always say, it's a museum, not a hospital - nobody's gonna DIE. Change the word museum as suited. Unless you work in a hospital. Then you're fucked. Hugs anyway!
