Manly yet Prudish

Christ. When the receptionist is away, I absolutely LOATHE booking travel for the consultants. Today, I was asked to book their rooms online at this hotel. I couldn't find 3 single rooms for them on the website, so I opted for one single room and one twin room, which turned out to be cheaper anyway, and that's what this company loves - cheap as chips. Plus, I might add that I was deep in work with plenty of deadlines.

Dear me, if this did not raise a stink! Oh my word it was laughable. The response I received from one of the 3 was as follows:

"We've just rung the Hotel and there are rooms available. Don't know why you've been told there aren't any but I'm certainly not sharing a room, sorry. If you wanted to call and book with the hotel you can call them directly on xxxxx. They have rooms available for £89 or £119 each. If you can't arrange in time then do let me know - maybe I can conference in on the telephone for sections I need to be involved with."

This is coming from the same bloke who asked me to book it online, because 'you can save more.'
Yes! Save more, and bring out the prudish side to your personality! For crying out loud. It's only sharing a room, not sleeping in the same bed! You'd think I was asking them to be 'bed mates!'

So, of course, this travels round the office, and I'm getting comments like, 'So, you asked A and D to share a room? Why? There were single rooms available, you know.'
Lord, give me strength...

Now, Big Spex has told me that the job in the other department has been advertised, so this is my opportunity to apply for it. He had sent me the Job Specification for this role and you know what? It seems awfully similar to what I'm doing at the moment. That is, cleaning up after other people at work and taking orders from stressed out people. Be it the documentation, the system, or the men's toilets (don't ask, it was the lowest point of working there), this is something I think that I need to get out of.

Please Universe! Show me the way!
