My standard "bitching because I'm on a business trip" post

Things my luxury, posh hotel in Las Vegas does not have that I really would've liked:

- A fitness center that opens before 6am (in 24/7 Vegas, you don't open till 6?? Which is 8am Chicago time...)
- A hair dryer in my room (so I could dry the clothes I hand wash in the sink)
- A coffee/hot water machine in my room so I could have some tea (every crap-tastic Holiday Inn and Best Western I've stayed at has this!)
- A restaurant that serves breakfast that opens before 6
- A microwave in my room
- A drinking fountain!! Looks like I am forced to buy bottled water, which absolutely sucks both for my wallet and for the environment

I do have all the casinos and drunk gamblers I could ever dream of, and a fully stocked bar in my room that I'll never use.

But there IS something wonderful here. Am going to see my friend D, in 2 hours!!!

Today - saw a friend. Plus - feet!

My friend D took a long bus ride to come see me here in Vegas on my business trip. I got teary when I saw her. It'd been too long and I was so touched that she made the trek. We had a blast today. I had to work for just a few hours doing a training thing at the booth. Tomorrow and the next day are full, 8 hour days of working the booth.

Strange things happen in Vegas. I was waiting for D while she was in the bathroom. A woman comes up to me. She says that this will sound weird but she's making a documentary about feet and can she film my feet. What can I write here? 'wtf??' doesn't seem to cut it.

She could've at least tried to sell it better! She didn't smile or even look at me when she asked!! I mean, please!
