In Palm Beach Gardens, at the Hampton Inn. $169 a night. It feels like such a ripoff. Especially given that I had to use google to find out that there is a restaurant in the Mariott next door. The guy at the desk tried to send me to some “ale house” a mile and a half up the road … but I am wily. I know the ways of google maps. I mean, it’s a nice enough hotel … but when I think about a cart loaded up with $169 worth of groceries … or filling up my planet-killer with gas four times in a row … it doesn’t measure up. <\/p>\n
Imagine how happy I would be if I was able to dedicate $169 to getting really high quality olives and cheese delivered in snack-sized portions, exactly when I want some olives and \/ or cheese over the next month or so! <\/p>\n
Okay, that’s it, it’s time for sleeping. I am *not* writing slides for my class tomorrow in this mental state.<\/p>\n
