The manner to which she has become accustomed

Hannah is looking after lots of non-profit partners at the Chevron World Challenge this weekend.  As far as I can make out this mostly involves watching golf, eating and drinking at corporate hospitality, and organising dinners at fancy nearby restaurants that she pays for with a corporate credit card.  She also gets to stay in a very nice hotel.

I babysat James's little brother Ben last week, so tonight he returned the favour by keeping Emily out of trouble while I shot back up the 405 and into the lap of luxury.  Hannah was still out at another dinner when I arrived, so I slipped into my complimentary robe and nosed around.  This place is fan-cee!  She tells me that breakfast is an all-you-can-eat pancake buffet - and what greater indicator of class is there than that?  Photos of how oil company employees spend their time below:


A two poster bed!  You have to be director level before you qualify for a four.


There's a tv...in the bathroom!  The bathroom!!  Doesn't that break health and safety laws?


It's a mini bar, a thing I thought only existed in movies.


And this is the spare toilet roll, wrapped up in its own warm little branded blanket thing.  If they treat a toilet roll this well, think how nice it is for humans!


The bathroom is so large that they have a phone in here so you can call the front desk in case you get lost.  Or you can order a pizza.  Or...well, just think about all the amazing things you could do if you had a phone by your toilet.  Right?
