[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Jet Lag (and Neil breaking to hotel rooms)

[Doreen]

Having arrived in New York on Monday afternoon, on Monday night, when
I was supposed to be running through my presentation for the next
day, I couldn't keep my eyes open. This was despite the fact that I
slept on the plane over (a bit worrying, as this period equated to my
normal working day).  It must have been the travelling...

I was wide awake at 4am last night (Tues), I guess because it was
really 9am and I would normally be at work consuming my first flagon
of caffeine for the day.  I got up in the night and attempted to use
the payphone and the internet booth without success.

I returned to my room, only to find that I couldn't remember which
one I was in (the doors are unmarked and made of metal sheeting, a
bit like those on prison cells).  Consequently, I tried to enter my
neighbour's room and woke her up (except she wasn't alone: she had
two men in there, as I found out later).  She was very nice and
showed me how to turn the key in the lock of my own door.  I
explained my stupidity by saying, "I'm British".  She nodded, in
understanding.

So, my hotel is something else.  The Cher-themed room is covered in
leopard print: the walls, carpet, ceiling, lamp, shelves and table.
This is mixed with industrial sheet metal.  I'm really not sure what
this has to do with Cher Bono.  The bedsheet has cigarette burns in
it.  Is she a heavy smoker, perchance?  Can anyone explain???

Neil in NY

(It's so noisy here!!!)

So, Neil, other than that, are you enjoying New York? I would have loved to
have been there when you bothered your neighbor. Did she invite you to stay?
hee hee

Did you request the Cher room? What are some of the other choices?
(resisting a very bad Sonny joke)

Better cigarette burns than cockroaches; or did you just neglect to mention
them? If you were up at 4am, you would have seen them if they are there.

noisy there???? sirens? what sirens? was that a car backfiring, I hope?
Another two weeks there and you could sun on a rooftop and listen to
Beethoven and never notice the noise. New Yorkers have to be tough just to
tune out the unpleasant sounds of the daily grind.

Doreen, who misses everything about the east coast, except the cockroaches
