and your big criteria for getting a room is cable tv, during borderline "crisis" situation.
In Oklahoma, we are having some issues with the electricity, mainly, a lot of areas are out. I had to work yesterday and got thousands of phone calls from people needing rooms. I have never, in 10 years, seen anything like it, it was just plain insane!
However, I find it disgusting that people are finding available rooms at hotels and are NOT taking them due to the fact that there is no cable! My friend works for the cable company, he has been requested to work 6 day work weeks for the next 3 weeks to help fix all the damaged cable lines, so its a huge issue. And there are atleast 100k, probably closer to 200k homes without power, and these morons are worried about no cable
I had some twat lady that worked for the electric company get a room and go ballistic on the desk clerk when she discovered no cable. She just left to go find another room somewhere else that has cable. I couldn't believe it. We were booked, and she thinks that she can find some place else, at 10pm in the evening, that has an available room and cable.
The amount of people that walked out yesterday when they found out we had no cable was a sight to see. These people have no electricity at home, and its 30 degrees outside, and they have kids, and they refuse the room due to the cable being out.
I am sitting here, in my apartment, with no cable, wondering why its such a big deal. I think I may just give up on humanity, there is nothing left here to salvage, we are all doomed.
EDIT:
Found this on KOCO.com, local news channel website, looks like I was severly off on the numbers of homes without power!
OKLAHOMA CITY -- About 634,000 homes and businesses -- estimated to equate to about 1.5 million people -- are without power on Tuesday, as electric companies across Oklahoma work feverishly to repair poles, lines and restore service statewide after a weekend ice storm.
According to federal figures, Oklahoma's 2006 population was 3,579,212, meaning that roughly 42 percent of the state is without power, two days after an ice storm blanketed the state.
Officials with Oklahoma Gas & Electric said they are still anticipating seven to 10 days to restore power to their 294,000 customers without electricity. It could be longer for some customers; however, restoration could start happening as soon as Wednesday, according to OG&E spokesman Brian Alford.
Seriously, WTF!
