Trapped in a Grungy Smelly Employee Benefit

[c9]

So the company I work for has an apartment in Halifax. It is used for any employee, or contractor, who needs a place to stay in the city. It's cheaper than hotel stays, though they'll accept that if the apartment is already booked. I had never been to it before this evening.

I arrived to find dirty everything, burned-out light bulbs, couch cushions falling onto the floor, wires strewn about, dirty sheets on the bed, at least three different deodorant sticks in the bathroom, a small mountain of dirty laundry thrown into a closet (with a vacuum cleaner on TOP), and no towels. The bedis saggy, and all furniture is at the donated quality.

There is high-speed Internet access. An old classroom computer is here, plus a wireless router with all security turned off. Even the internet is dirty at this place. I'm afraid to touch anything.

I want to go home!

Yuck. But, welcome back. :)

Thanks. I might need to borrow your couch.

(just kidding, they got me a hotel)

I stayed in a hotel like that in Americus, Georgia once...

Two double beds - one had a cigarette burn in the bedspread large enough to pass a baby through. My classmate (school trip) immediately chose the other one.

Imagine, if you will, four to six guys having an all-night orgy and covering the bed with spooge. Which they proceeded to blot with toilet paper, until the entire thing was a gloppy, disgusting mess that took up about half of the bed. That's what the classmate found under his bedspread...

Glad to hear it's worked out OK. At least, I think it did... is it a decent hotel?

Yeah, the hotel's decent. I felt kinda sickly last night, so I went to bed early and slept in, totalling 10.5 hours of sleep! Hooray! Except I kept waking up every few hours convinced that my thumb had started bleeding again. Ew.
