hotels get boring fast. it's good to have a routine of little things to make yourself feel more at home.

presumably db's already drained the minibar, charged as much as he can to the room in non-perishable goods, defaced the gideon bible and tried his keycard in the door of the next room. that's about when i'd usually go online.

That's the point. Why go away anywhere and want to 'feel at home'?
Most hotels have much more entertainment on offer than just a room.

Really, they don’t. After you’ve stopped in a few nice hotels and done all there is to do, you soon grow bored of them. All I want to do is finish presenting tomorrow and go home. Having a few DVDs to watch is a bonus because these fucking hotel chains hardly ever change the film lineup. Finding free internet is a fucking massive bonus. But I suppose until you have a responsible high pay job that requires international travel, you wouldn’t know.

Fucking keycard. I only have to look at it funny for it to need a recode.

Agreed. I lived in a hotel for about a month or so (paid for by the company, everything pretty much inclusive) Internet access was something silly like £3 an hour, and I couldn't charge that to the company. I had to go to the local cyber cafe for my dose of q3w and whatnot.

Got quite boring because all i would do is go to work, come home, watch/buy a dvd from town and then go to bed. Doesn't help being in a part of a country you've never visted before, and having the stress of a new job .

Ah well, industrial placements are all good though
