This week, I was smart enough to bring my computer to New Jersey with me - which means I'll have access to the internet again.
This leads to the next pet-peeve I have about this hotel: the nearest outlet actually turns off when I turn off the hotel room lights. So, if I want to turn the lights down and watch a DVD, the PC will actually shut down when I flick the switch all the way by the door.
It's still kind-of lonely in this room after work, but now at least I can chat or play FFXI when I get back. Hopefully this'll save me a little cash...
