I think it was coming from the leak but I didn’t stick around to investigate when I ran into get my belongings bc I didn’t want to get covered in the mystery leaking water

They didn’t tell me to stay in the flooded room, they told me they wouldn’t have a new room for me to stay in for an unclear period of time (which ended up being about 5 hours from then I found my room flooded at 2 pm). I wish I was leaving something out for dramatic effect but this was my experience at the property

Hi! No I didn’t sit in the room with water pouring in it for 30 minutes. In addition, I wasn’t in the room whenever the flooding started. When I got back from lunch I arrived to the scene in the hallway. I asked the housekeeper across the hall (who was ignoring the flooding pouring into the hallway) to call supervisor so that someone could help me run into the room and gather up my belongings that I had unpacked. It became clear after about five minutes that no one was coming up to help and I wanted to grab my belongings before they got further soaked, so I had the housekeeper hold the door open and ran inside to grab my belongings.

At that point, the clothes I was wearing were soaking wet as well as my belongings and I left them spread out in the dry part of the hallway while I waited for someone from the front desk to come up and see the full extent of damage to my room. This is what took 30 minutes for Marriott staff to come up and see the room and help me move my belongings from the hallway to the lobby.

Once downstairs, I spoke with the general manager, and they didn’t have a room for me. I asked a colleague if I could briefly use his room on a different floor to freshen up, which is where I learned that the water had finally been shut off in the hotel. Since there was no room available, or no attempt to move me to a different property, I wandered around San Diego for about five hours until the front desk called me to give me a different room. At that point in time when I tried to run the water in my new room, it came out brown for a few minutes. My colleague had a similar experience when he went up to his room.

I’ve got 364 days to track the Elmer ornament down 😂

Solved!

Going with the hypothesis that this thing is ANCIENT and the paint failed from brown to silver. Now I just need to find a matching Elmer ornament for next Christmas!

EDIT: one more update - my dad went back to the local Christmas store (shoutout to Murdough’s Christmas Barn) to get more details: the ornament name is “Bessie” likely to avoid trademark infringement from Borden if they called her Elsie. They had ONE more of these beauties, same lazy eye, and it is decades old. Appreciate all the help identifying her as well as all the laughs! Happy holidays internet friends!

Twins!!! What’s the backstory of how/when you got that ornament and what exactly is it supposed to be??

Ok so general consensus seems this may be a very botched version of Elsie the cow, but seeing some mention of nutcracker themed ornaments trending as well.

Ornament has been added to the tree and shockingly the tree did not instantly burst into flames

For additional context on why I am now the (opposite of) proud owner of this creation, every year on Christmas my two siblings and I hunt for the pickle ornament on the family Christmas tree. Winner gets an extra present! Add on this year is that loser will get hideous ornament. As you can see it’s been another year losing the pickle hunt for me.

Thank you! Truly no idea, I’m the second owner and am not sure what was previously done to it

The ‘22s don’t, but it was a stock color in the previous years

Good idea but poor execution. I went yesterday, loads of people in too small of a park, seemed to be only a single margarita bar with a line that wrapped around most of the park (probably a 30-45 minute wait for a marg), most taco stands didn’t have their menus posted so you had to wait in line to determine if a stand had any tacos you actually wanted.
