Insomnia Strikes Again!
Sometimes, I have trouble sleeping when I'm away from home. I have a nice room in a nice Hilton Garden Inn - Tammi will verify that they are nice places to stay in.
Last night, the person or persons in the room above me were either doing aerobics or having pretty crazy monkey sex - I tend to think the former rather than the latter from the rhythm of the noise.
Then, I woke up all congested around 3:00 am - finally gave up, turned on the light and played webboggle - to which I am hopelessly addicted.
I don't play it very well at 3:00 am, so I downloaded the newest updates for Ad aware, and ran that and Spy bot. Both claim the laptop is clean, but I have my doubts.
The project manager at this site wants me to move hotels, so I can share my car with someone else. I would not mind this so much, except I don't find out about it until I have already checked in here and unpacked for the week.
I'll have my manager contact him and tell him to leave Beth alone. The hotel room I have is about 1/2 as much as the one they want me to move to - I'm sure the client will not mind paying less for once.
I have pictures to upload and post - maybe tonight.

Ah, a new chapter in *Stupid Managment Tricks*!

silly about the car. Keep you in the smaller room and pay for the car or put you in a larger room that costs more and cut car costs? Wouldn't it be a wash either way?
Mean spirited poopyheads. Hope all goes well for your work this time.

Webboggle is too much fun. I have to keep from starting or it is 3 am before I know it! Have a good trip this time.

Well, I won- I get to keep the car and the hotel room!
Things are not going terribly swimmingly, though they are great people to work with - none of them have done a fricking thing that was on their to-do list that I gave them a month ago.
Oh. Well. It's their money!

Reminds me of the time I lived in an apt. where the overhead neighbor was into weight training. I could hear him grunting through the "clean and jerk"s, but the worst were the attempted, and failed, deadlifts with too much on the bar.

And they just love having you come back and wet nurse them through the 'to dos.'
Congrats on keeping the car and the room. Hope you are feeling better.

Hey! Only I get to nurse there!
