There is no medicine for stupid.

Hello from Tucson. It's damn hot here, but the room ac is up to the task. Went to a welcome reception thing. Good food, free liquor. Anyway, I'll be here 3 more days. Anybody know anything good to do in Tucson that can be done in a couple hours in the evening? It would be nice to be able to do something besides train and watch tv while I'm down here.

I gained a little more sympathy for hotel employees today. As I was waiting at the reception desk, I observed one dealing with one of probably many daily assholes. The guy was bitching because some evil hotel employee, obviously out to make his life miserable, had apparently charged his credit card separately for the room and for the extra charges. The clerk told him that he would reverse both charges and redo them as a single one. Then the guy started going off about how there would then be two charges, two credits, and one more charge. This seemed incomprehensible to him. The poor clerk apologized repeatedly; eventually the guy got tired of staring at the clerk and telling him how upset he was and went away. WTF? Is the guy so anal he can't handle 4 extra lines on his bill? Is he pissed because this'll make it harder to sneak all his late night porn onto his expense sheet? It's people like this that make clerks pissy with the rest of us (although this clerk seemed to take it pretty well).

Blah...I've been awake since much too early after far too few hours of sleep, so I will leave you with these words of wisdom: Always forgive your enemies, nothing annoys them more.
