Nights like that make my cube look pretty good after all...


Yep. When it's dark, the clag is low, and the wind is howling, and all I
hear on the scanner is heavy metal, I thank my lucky stars that I'm

sitting
in my lobby, all safe and warm.

Hey, Jay

Your hotel have weekly rates?


Sure. Just whack 20% of the daily rate for any stay of 7 days or longer.

Better yet, knock 60% off our daily rates for any stay of 30 days or longer.
You'll be rubbing elbows with some university professors, a couple of
traveling nurses, and a few families waiting for their houses to be
finished.

Why do you ask?

Not bad! It's actually cheaper to stay for a month than for a
fortnight.

If the professor stays for a year, you must wind up paying him!

Yep. The break-even point is about 13 days. It's mostly because the state
doesn't require that we charge hotel/motel or sales tax on stays of 30 days
or longer. That's a savings of 12%!

Nah. I gave him a little break -- but not much!

Bleep that. I was on Storrow Drive at 8pm and it still hadn't seen either a
plow or sander. Snow removal in the city this year has been abominable. So
much for the Great Menino, not that anyone challenges him and lives to tell
the tale these days.

I think we got it worse up in Boston. In the late afternoon the

temperature
dropped about 20 degrees in less than an hour, and the rain we'd been
getting all day froze solid. By 7pm there were 2-3 inches of wet snow on

top
of 1/4" of hard ice and of course not a plow or sander in sight. Logan

was
shut down for a while.

So what happens if I pay for a month, and leave after fifteen days?
