Actually, I shouldn't try to be clever, out of respect for the person who passed. A deceased guest was discovered in a room in NP this morning. If the rumors are to be believed, this person had been deceased for possibly two days. I always thought if someone didn't show up for work, at least here on a remote site, that someone came looking for them. I guess nobody bothered to, and the poor guy's mother called his foreman to say she hadn't heard from him in a couple of days. He had a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, and for housekeeping purposes, the housekeepers are required to enter the room every third day, even when someone puts out the sign. So this unfortunate soul was undetected for a couple of days before a company representative found him this morning. I guess this is about the 4th or 5th time it's happened here at this camp, but still upsetting for the Health & Safety people that are required to attend the scene. As well as anyone else involved. They keep it pretty low-key, but obviously the other people living on that floor were aware, thanks to the police and security presence for most of the day. So things were pretty subdued around camp today.
One more day of work for me, then off to Calgary to spend a week with my new granddaughter. Abigail June, born yesterday, September 27. On my dad's 80th birthday. I can't wait to meet her!
Catch you on the flip side :)
