Yup you guessed it. I connected into my hotel's wireless service last night go VPN into work and well.... I didn't quiet see the welcome screen I expected. Ha Ha. I won't say where I am staying as I don't want to give them a bad rep. They are normally a very reputable hotel chain and have always treated me nicely.

I was sure they already knew but I phone the front desk to let them know and they knew and sounded a bit stressed. I learned it had been first reported 40 minutes ago but their IT gal was on her way but was an hour outside the city as it was late. I suggested that maybe they should just shut it off until she arrived. They thought that was a grand idea. Apparently, hitting the off button hadn't occurred to them ROFLOL !!!!

For about ten minutes he was increasingly interested, and then suddenly he was not interested and went off to attend to other matters.

I'm confused as to what actually happened.

I'm struggling for a witty comeback that doesn't leave me open for additional abuse.
