Jen's Journal

Because my hotel room is still filled with groggy basketball players I had to find a place to do homework... I asked the staff at the hotel, and after promising I wouldn't use or abuse the "equipment" , they put me in the "Business Den".

It is pretty slick, "fully eqipped office for your business needs". I am sitting at the executive desk and on the executive chair. I am looking, (but not touching), the speaker telephone w/ free local calls. I am typing at the forbidden PC w/ Windows XP, with the following programs: Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I printed my homework off the "high speed" internet using the Lexmark X125 colour printer/fax machine. I was looking at the photocopier, until they moved it out to another room. I guess they feared I would copy some "documents". I looked around for the "selection of basic office supplies" and was disappointed at the selection of crappy "Coast Hotel" pencils and pens and half a dozen paper clips. There is however a stapler that looks like it could easily staple 400 pages together in one fallow swoop...

Anyways for a break from homework I decided to calculate how much I would have had to pay for the room. I used it for 3 hours yesterday and 4 hours this morning.... At:

30 minutes for $10.00
One hour $15.00
1/2 a day, (max 4 hours) $40.00
One day (max 8 hours) $60.00

I figure it would have cost $80.00. I recommend not using this room unless you have a company paying for it or, well, that is about the only reason I'd recommend using this room.

Oh, must run, my part-time job as a chaffeur is requiring me to pick up the team in the rental van and drive them to the LAST game of the tournament...
