My room

This is hands down one of my least favorite hotels.  I know I've said it before but truly it is.  Horrible service, bad smells, attrocious housekeeping and a weird location.  I'm still debating about calling the companies rewards program to complain.  Seriously it's bad!  At least I do have a fridge which I am renting in my room.  Please see photos below.

Lets start with my bathroom, it's the only part I don't really hate.  It's somewhat updated, lots of counter space and excellent water pressure in the shower.  I love a good shower.  Actually I should be in one.  I can smell myself, so not a good thing.

Closet is pretty standard.  I've gotten good at not over packing.  The desk/table is ridiculously small and right in front of the AC unit.  I think I'm going to move it by my bed so I don't freeze to death when I work.  Limited options by outlets though.  Better check if I still have an extension cord.

Hurray my $10 a day fridge.  I debated about buying that cute pink one, but it was just a smidge too small.  But seriously how cute is it!! 

The meat and potatoes of the room, 2 beds and a TV.  My bed feels like plywood, so freaking hard.  I have a mattress topper but it's still in my van.  I don't know that it's worth the effort of putting it on.  I don't know that it can help too much.  One bed is for sleeping the other for eating, computing and watching tv.  I'm on it right now realizing I spilled pasta sauce on it.  Ooops.

All my shoes lines up since they won't fit in the closet.  Rick said I had too many, I think it's not enough!  A girl needs options, although I bet I only wear a couple pairs because I'm going to work like a dog to get out of here ASAP.

Some other observations, this town is not updated.  Even the new things don't look that new.  I cannot find any non chain restaurants.  There's 2 in the mall but they don't look too appealing.  The guys in the office said the only restaurant that's ever been on TV is in one of my towns.  Yay, oh wait, it's called Hillbilly Hotdogs.  I hate hotdogs.  WAH!  The only Starbucks are 1 in a mall, 2 in a hospital.  Thankfully I found one near a majority of my claims, only 40 miles outside of this city.  Please note this is the capital city, it's not so capital to me.

The people here are what I call stupid nice.  They are so dull and uneducated that they can't help but be nice all the time.  The job market has to be severely depressed.  I've been to 4 restaurants and all of them are being run by grown ass adults.  At home it's teenagers, and 20 somethings.  Here, well it's a career choice.  The worst part is that the service has been horrible everywhere.  1st night was Chili's more than once we questioned if our waiter forgot he was supposed to be waiting on us.  2nd night O'Charleys-I got take out.  I ordered, waited 20 min and went and got it.  I waited another 20 min inside the restaurant.  Best part, got home and my food was burnt!  Tonight was Fazoli's, I wanted to hit the drive thru and be done.  Nope it was out of order!  Went inside, the kid had on a t-shirt and basketball shorts behind the counter.  Then I waited over 20 min for fast food!  

I really need to think about how to keep eating in this town.  I've had a salad every night and they've all been sub-par.  It's like this state is rejecting eating healthy.  Normally I'm all about not eating healthy but when I work it's crucial.  I'll get sick if I don't.  Tomorrow should be interesting as I have claims in some really remote areas.  I didn't even buy granola bars cause I have no where to put them, and they'll melt in the van.  Hmmm gas station lunch it is!  I cannot wait to move hotels.  Just to have a partial kitchen.  I'll feel so much more normal.  The trainer staying at the other hotel said it's easy to cook what you buy because it's in a business park and no food options are too close.  Oh joy, more food hunting!

I know I've been really negative about being here but there's not a lot to be happy about.  Work is crappy, people yell and yell over the phone then turn on the nice when you are at their house.  Travel time is a lot, hotel is bad, office is bad, just a lot is bad.  My happy is how green and lush the mountains are.  Here's hoping next weekend I can have some fun with my friend who lives here.  I need to see why she chooses to stay.
