Oh my gosh...the hotel that UVic got for me is so fancy it's... embarrassing? Horrifying? I got a "free upgrade" (extra free because I didn't pay) to a suite and this is actually bigger than the ground floor of my farmhouse. And it's 10 stories up. And there's a balcony. This is... super weird. (It actually wasn't very expensive, either. I guess nobody wants to visit Victoria in winter, except people who live in Saskatchewan). #ProfSamLectureTour
@sundogplanets I used to travel for business and once got upgraded to a suite just because that’s all they had left. Enjoy!

@geckzilla I don't have a lot of experience with fancy hotels, but I'm pretty sure they usually don't let you bring goats...
@sundogplanets I believe the hotel you're in has pet rooms. Whole floors, in fact.

Wait wait wait wait... there are TWO GIANT TV's in this hotel room!! TWO! WHY ARE THERE TWO?!!
Ok time to go for a walk. This is too much for me.
@sundogplanets One is watching YOU.

Dual computer monitors, for twice as much work!
I use a 40 inch tv for a monitor, the 55 is a bit too much tracking, since I have no peripheral vision. Though my 10 degree sure appreciate a readable font!

@sundogplanets which hotel?

@sundogplanets What's even more distressing to think about is how often those TVs have been replaced over the years.

@sundogplanets Is it in case you can't agree with yourself about what to watch?

@sundogplanets and you are a sedate sober kinda soul and ended up with the Convention Party Room.
Hey…if you want a busy evening social life you could do a Salon like scene instead of Party Palace as hostess. -

@geckzilla@Flux @sundogplanets @geckzilla
Instead of searching for goats you can pop over to the pet floors and visit the pets.
Hmmm, dyed-pink poodles and who knows what ... well, if you're feeling brave : -)

@sundogplanets @geckzilla One never knows.
If you read Gerald Durrell you might find here and there descriptions of things like Terrapins in a bathtub in a fancy hotel, with the manager's knowledge and consent... so why not goats? -
