      You got lucky. I was traveling across country a few years ago with some friends and we stopped in Lincoln. The first hotel we came to had the vacancy sign lit so we tried to get a couple of rooms. Oh no, *they* didn't have any vacancys but their sister hotel across town did. The place turned out to be a regular roach hotel. Since then I never stop in Lincoln. :)

    This reminds me something that happened last year (2002) at the Office. Once our two-year receptionist decided to quit, the management realized that it was easier and cheaper to hire a temp for the task. The first temp lasted one week, the second two weeks and the third was at the time going apparently well. Three weeks after the new temp was in place, rumors started circulating that she had a "semi-nudie" site on the internet. After paying lunch to some shady characters, I finally managed to see the site. It showed pictures of the lady in skimpy underwear, with some very useful and desirable bodily attributes on display. Unfortunately, for her, the news about her site was well-known at the time, and she got sacked "not for being half-naked", according to the brass, but for "divulging such information at the work environment..."

    And here I am, saying that we should have sacked the management instead and hired more temps...
