No news is good news
Hmm, nothing really to post about. I was actually busy at work on Friday, which is a change. Saturday, I was supposed to go out with some people from work. We were going to have a late lunch and then go to a pub called 10 Downing Street. They said they'd call or come by the hotel. Well, I didn't leave my room all day, and there certainly weren't any phone calls. *sigh* I really don't like being people flaking out. It happens a lot here.
My friends back home, on the other hand, are having a fun weekend. Several of them went up to Dallas and are hanging out with my boyfriend. Friday night there was some gay club action, and they were thinking of going to a scary strip club on Saturday night. Sometimes I think that Victor's becoming more of a gay icon than I am! Well... he certainly has a great example to follow!
Today I went down to the 7th floor for high tea, and since then I've been trying to get internet access. They only have one computer in a little room where you can close the door. If that's occupied, they offer you the computer behind the Business Center desk. You know, the one they use. Well, that's just a little awkward. I did it a couple of days ago, because I really needed to check my email, but I hate having strangers looking over my shoulder. Not to mention that it's weird when people come up to the desk to talk to the staff, and there I am, typing away. So today I told them no.
"Please, just call me when this room is free."
"Madam, you can use the computer here."
"No, I don't like using that one. Can you call me when this one is free?"
"No, madam. Is this one uncomfortable to use?"
"Yes. I don't like using it. Please, can you call me when this one is free?"
"Yes madam."
So, I went up to my room to wait. Starving, I ordered room service. As I was letting the waiter in the room, the phone rings. Yep, computer is free. So I scarfed down a couple of bites and came down here. More pizza waiting upstairs.
What a boring weekend this has turned out to be! I have to get out and about next weekend.
