New hotel

If you know me, you know my favorite hotel in Dayton is the Marriott. Some people like that new Courtyard across the river, but I just don't think you can beat the Marriott for it's people.
But, something happened when I submitted this trip request... the Marriott was booked up. Even for me, one of their top 50 travelers in 2008!
But, okay, let's do the Courtyard.
Gasp! Booked too.
WTF, right?

Anyhow, my third choice is a Doubletree in downtown. I have heard from some of the consultants that it is great. Okay, let's give it a try, I haven't stayed there before.

I just got here. The room looks nice as I walk in. and, ooo, a Wolfgang Puck coffeemaker with a fancy dual spouty thing and the coffee ground pods... oh Doubletree, you are winning me over.
then, I open this little door and what? why is the toilet nearly touching the sink?

Bad mood at work

how I can tell I am in a bad mood at work:
1) typing becomes erratic
2) Backspace becomes REALLY REALLY angry
3) slamming hands on desk after reading an email
4) realizing I have been furrowing my brow for an hour and it won't unfurrow.
5) making angry snarky comments in documents
6) talking to myself in the bathroom "I just don't understand why she sent me that crap document, I mean jeez, I ask for a project plan list and I get this stupid list of questions, wouldn't a normal human being realize that you should put it into a freakin document and include all the steps to figure this out...."
7) emails sent with only the subject line
To: so and so
Subject: Are you going to set up that prep meeting or are you waiting for me to do it?
Body: except for email signature.
8) start deleting tasks even though they really aren't done
