Bugs, Tugs, and Things That Slug

OK, it’s time to vent a little…

My list at conferences is a small one but one I need to state:

Not enough plugs – I know I can run on battery power but running from presentation to presentation, going through the main gathering hallways, it’s a bit of a mad scramble and dash to see who gets to the plug first. Please, please, please more places to plug in.
Hotels charging for Internet service – I get nickeled and dimed to death with additional services. Come on now! I know it can be done at no charge. I’ve stayed at many hotels around the country that offer Internet service for free. So stop charging me $12.95 per day!
Another network bug – Please provide consistent network connections during the conference. Yes, I like being able to be wireless wherever I go around the conference, but when I keep getting dropped off the network or have a really slow connection it makes it frustrating.

So there you have it. I’m done. Just some things I had to let go of. Has anyone else had these issues? Let me know.
