This resort has a LivePerson calling guests for their wakeup calls as opposed to a RobotVoice person or, in Disney Resorts' cases, Mickey Mouse.

I wonder if the LivePerson knows full well whether or not people are going to actually get up after they're called. Mine took it upon themselves to call me back in 10 minutes with an unsolicited reminder call. It was a good thing--I had fallen back asleep and I NEEDED to get up. I imagine they've gotten pretty good at knowing whether people were asleep or awake when they answer the phone. Maybe they can sense when people NEED to get up or when they're okay left sleeping too.

There's a whole specialty there.

I have to ride with my boss back to San Diego this morning after enduring a whole Monday morning drive of, "Whee, let's go down this mountain with no guard rails FAST!" Since our flight is a red-eye, we should have some time in San Diego--and I'm itching to go to the zoo. Let's see if I can pester my boss into that, shall we? He wants to do Tijuana.

Words cannot express how much I love that your wake up call actually gave you a follow-up ring...that's awesome! Hope you got to go to the zoo - that would have been my choice, too. Your boss sounds a bit like Michael Scott, and not the good side of him.

We did end up going to the zoo--and it was a lot of fun. In fact, because the San Diego Zoo is SO amazing (and huge, and full of animals) future zoos will be spoiled for me.

You know, I never thought of it before, but said boss is a touch like Michael Scott in all the wrong ways. He makes up for it sometimes though.
