The not so Super 8
So here I am, sitting in the bowels of Illinois, not able to get to sleep and staying in a Super 8 motel. Now don't get me wrong, this place is by no means a dump. But, after my extensive stays at Holiday Inn Express', my standards have raised a bit above non-mind enhancing temparary abodes.
There are, though, certain standards one comes to expect from "pay as you stay" rooming services. One being a clock. Yes, a little digital clock with the skin crawling "SKREEK SKREEK SKREEK" wake-up buzzer to rouse you to your feet. I'll save my thoughts on display color preference since that's really petty.
But, something that isn't petty are pens. None here. What if I want to write? What if I just want a souvenir? One might think that this may be petty too, but why would Super 8 tease the creative nature in me by decorating the room with a desk?
I guess this can't be all that bad. I at least have full cable access and a clean room. They also provide breakfast "from 6am until gone." I'd better set the alarm to make sure I get down there early enough to eat.
Oh, wait...
