What hotel are you staying at in Edinburgh, sj?

More on puppy boy - I feel like I may be dealing with a prime example of the "self-esteem" generation. He doesn't want to have to try, he only wants to do what he wants to do, and he takes everything very, very personally. Add in his inability to focus and his hair trigger temper (has gotten a bit better), and it's no wonder none of his coworkers want to work with him. Except maybe the one he's dating, and her I'm not sure about.

Did I mention I caught him sketching on the clock yesterday?

That karma, she is a tooootal bitch. I may need to call up my old boss and ask her advice.

Best of luck, my sister in the struggle.

Thank you. I need it.

Bath sounds like a good plan. Not a dessert person, but a drink would be good with the bath.

I am for real trying to figure out how to apply dog training techniques.

You need a pocket full of cookies.

Seriously, puppy boy totally sounds like my 19yo. Sigh.

Kathy, The Point, which is in a really good location, but it just sort of ok. The breakfast is buffet, mostly good, but this is the first place we stayed where you can't get the staff to bring you an actual pot of tea, and have to make a cup yourself. The food at dinner was good but nothing special and the atmosphere is kind of boring. The 20 pounds a day for internet in your room is a huge negative for me, but they're trying to get out of the contract, and there are other places along the street with free wifi.

I ended up buying a pair of the Gallifreyan earrings. There was a silver-toned pair.

Thanks, sj! I'm trying to get an idea of where Mom and I can stay in Edinburgh, York, and London, in particular (we'll probably B&B it the rest of the time).

Kathy, I highly recommend the Regency Hotel located at Queensgate St in London. More reasonable than anything else we found and very nice. We didn't stay in York, but the Fleece Inn at Haworth is lovely.

Ooh, thanks!!
