¡Dia de los Snacks!

Today I am typing up a report at home, so I can eat all the snacks I want… here is the list, all consumed between the hours of 10AM to 4:30 PM:

Tea, 3 large pieces of bread, with butter and raspberry quince tea jam.

4 pieces of Italian marzipan (about 4 months old).

2 packages (two crackers in each), sweet and salty rice crackers.

About 10-12 caramel filled Hershey’s kisses.

A large bowl of linguini with olive oil, salt and pepper, parmesan, and whatever veggies were in the fridge.

A grapefruit.

Two handfuls of dried cranberries.

More tea with milk and sugar this time.

A bag of microwaved popcorn. (literally the whole bag. Maybe minus about 20 un popped kernels.)

Some wine (it was already open).

Some more tea. And some more cranberries. Something I thought was a cranberry I dropped but turned out to be colorful lint. Some peanuts I found in a bag in my room while procrastinating the writing and moving onto some cleaning.

I read a cook book too. Does that count for something?

I think that is it now… but it is almost time for dinner. Someone stop me! I am going to end up like Kirsty Alley, minus a career on the comeback (loved her in Troop Beverly Hills!). I love snacks… yum. -professoreric

Yay for spammers…

I just got spammed with well over 1000 comment/trackback spams in a 2 hour period!

Yay!

(I wonder why my blog keeps breaking.)

Dear Waldorf=Astoria Hotel,

Y’all suck!

I booked a room for a week at the corporate rate of $259/night.

But due to a mistake made by my booking agent, I noticed that the check-in date was 1 day later than it was supposed to be.

So when I called back to fix it, you told me that the new rate for all the nights will now be $460?!?! I would understand if THE FIRST NIGHT was at this rate, but ALL THE NIGHTS?!

Y’all suck!

UPDATE: After being on hold for 45 minutes (cutting into my precious lunch hour), someone was able to fix this so that the rate held at $259 for the entire stay. Thanks Waldorf=Astoria, not only for fixing this problem with my booking agent, but also for holding the corporate rate.

Now if you could get me back the part of my lunch hour I missed…
