September 2006, America (Supposedly)
Dawn: Hi, where is your computer room?
Lady from Bizarro Crazy Land (aka California): We don’t have one in the hotel ma’am.
Dawn: Huh?
LFBCL: We don’t have a computer room.
Dawn: Ok, do you have a business center?
LFBCL: No, we don’t have a business center.
Dawn: Oh…ok, is there a place with computers with internet access?
LFBCL: No, I’m sorry the hotel doesn’t provide computers. But we have wireless access from all the rooms and common areas.
Dawn: Ok, so where do I go just to check my email?
LFBCL: Umm…if you have a laptop, you can access our wirelss form anywhere.
Dawn: Blinks.
LFBCL: Stares
Dawn: Blanks faster and crinkles brow.
LFBCL: Stares.
Dawn: Wait…so…where’s the business center, now?

Wait a sec, who is supposed to be one in this exchange that requires the italicization of 2006?
September 15th, 2006 at 2:52 pm
Exactly. What… you didn’t bring your 24.4 modem with you? You looking for a landline? Sucker.

Shut it! This is America. I want internet access, when I want it, how I want it.

There was internet access - in every room of the hotel - that you didn’t have the means to use it doesn’t mean they didn’t provide it…

Yeah, I’m with Alceste and Dawn. I was all joining Dawn in her outrage before she told me about the wireless. No business center and no wireless would be insane. But one or the other is fine. And SOMEONE should’ve called ahead and checked which they had.
