“Hello! How are we doing today?”
“I'd like to lodge an official complaint.”
“Sigh.”
“You know what this is about.”
“It's about the front desk, isn't it?”
“Yes. The new sign-in procedure sucks!”
“It didn't work for you at all?”
“I was able to scan the QR code. It took entirely too long for the web page to come up.”
“You might have to use the WiFi for that.”
“Yes, that's why it took so long. I had to sign on the WiFi. Then I filled out the information, including the cell phone number. The code sent to it failed.
Multiple times.”
“Yeah, we've had lots of complaints about it not working.”
“On thinking about it, I bet you have the land line on file,
which can't receive texts!”
“I had nothing to do with this. It was the admins that mandated this new system.”
“So did they hold out for hookers and blow? Or did they settle for strippers and steak?”
“HONEY!”
“I don't know … it's above my pay grade.”
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
