Hmmm.... in Miami when its 88 degrees it will feel like its really 98 degrees w/ about 80% humity.

I don't really see much of a difference. However, I'd rather be in Miami where I can get to a beautiful beach quickly!

Well, everything got a whole lot worse...

I left work at 8:30PM and went to the hotel. The hotel cancelled my reservation because they thought I was checking in on Monday night and not tonight.

The reason I'm in Boston is our entire sales force is here for training. The person at the hotel informs me that the person I was sharing a room with already has someone in their room, and that they'd have to find someone else for me to room with.

HUH??? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I'm all for cutting costs, and it'll be great for the stock when we're free cash flow positive, but give me a fucking break. They didn't even a) let me know, or B) give me a chance to pick who I was going to share a room with. Hell, I don't care about sharing a room, just lemme share one with one of my buddies, ok??

I promptly tell the hotel people to fuck off, and I call one of my friends to let him know I was going to crash at his place.

It's a good thing I used to live in this godforsaken place that is Boston.
