Crisis averted?

xaq_the_aereonQuite possibly. My chief came by earlier reading my last LJ entry, and noticed my remarks about the barracks...his suggestion? High-tail it back over there and see if there was anything he left screwed up.
And boy did he ever. On top of leaving the bathroom a bit of a mess and his laundry in the washer, I also found the sink full of soap suds! While there wasn't anything I could do about the laundry, I was able to get the rest of it taken care of...one hit's better than 3.
After that, I came back here and resumed my apparently futile search for a hotel room. Then, the new guy to the workshop, who just came from the Norfolk/VA Beach area, suggested I try to get a room at the "per diem" barracks for the weekend. He had the number for the place on him already, and apparently the rooms gave EXTREMELY good rates.
-----RAKESMACK----- (for those unfamiliar with the gag, this is where I pull a rake out of thin air, drop it on the ground, and slam my foot down on it, bringing the handle straight up into my face, apparently with the hope of it jarring a few brain cells into place. Done for visual effect and comedic purposes only.)
Well, in any case, I'm certainly looking at this with a bit more hope than I was this morning.
I just hope it holds out.
