I'll be afk in Milan until Friday. Don't let Kenpo post too much. Over the weekend I finally managed to get within 140 posts of him again. I was going to petition having him banned until I return, but he promised to limit his posting *wavies*

Got a wiifii card from the hotel. Three hours access for six euros. I learned a few important things today. Even when you will only be somewhere for a short time blah blah so why waste money blah blah, creature comforts are still kinda nice. There is a difference between the expensibe four and five star hotels and the little two star one. When making a reservation for a room "with shower" one has no grounds to be surprised when it has a shower but no toilet... After all, it said "with shower" not "with toilet". And what is it with all the restaurants doing all you can eat buffets all evening? I don't want a gone-cold buffet; I want warm food please. Now on to troll the rest of the forum, then go to bed

Seriously ... no toilet?!? And no clear and conspicuous statement about "shared bathrooms" ...?!? That would be outright illegal, in the U.S. ...!!

I think I'd rather have no shower than no toilet... There are ways to keep yourself not stinky. The other option, however...
Good luck, Mel. :]

I probably would have hit someone or set something on fire. But I'm having a bad day. What reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally grinds my gears? Taking an hour during lunch to go find out if you have rheumatoid arthritis after waiting for 2 months for the doctor to call you to set an appointment and finally doing so on your own, to be told by the receptionist that she's not sure if the results are back and that she'll pass him the message, and then going through the whole thing again, only to show up, wait for an hour, and finally have the doc come in to tell you you didn't have to come in, you don't have it, and he meant to call you last night, but didn't, so he meant to call you this morning, but didn't, and since you came in anyway you have to pay the copay, only to wait behind a very slow old lady and a typically useless receptionist and finally getting your turn telling her you've been refferred to another doc and she get's on the phone to find out if he takes your insurance and you ask if you can pay she says the card machine is "over there" so you tell her "forget it I'll find out myself I'm in a rush" only for her to ignore you, stay on the phone, and walk through the idiot child on how to use a credit card machine, find out about the doctor, have him come back all proud, when in fact he charged you 20 cents instead of 20 dollars and now the recptionist, rather than just charge the remaining $19.80, is going to go through the refund proccess and then charge you the $20 of the copay you shouldn't have had to come in to pay to begin with, then finally leaving, getting into a cab for him to take you 3 blocks in 15 minutes and then, 1 block away, decide he's going to go down 2 blocks the other way and come around because "the street is busy." In midtown Manhattan. During business hours. 1 block between Radio City and Times Square. But at least I have a toilet. edit: wow, totally clicked the wrong thread lol

Because it sure as hell sounds like one - that is crazy. I'd be asking for blood, or at least my $20 back, since the doctor screwed up about three different times.

The person in the movie will have pion's doctor experience while living in my hotel. It will be hillarious.
Edit: I met the person who got the room in the hotel I had originally tried to get a reservation in. I told her how I suffer because of her. *nodnod* I had my revenge: I took her out to dinner. That will teach her not to ninja-book hotel rooms.

Oh yes, with punishment such as that she will certainly rue the day. I shall remember to never cross you.
