I'm in Chicago this week, staying at the Westin O'Hare hotel which is very nice. I like Westin hotels because they tend to have a bit more style than most, sometimes too much. Take my bathroom at this hotel; the shower is not separated from the rest of the bathroom by anything other than a shower curtain. There are two drains in the floor - one in the center of the shower area and one in the center of the bathroom as a whole.
I originally thought this was pretty clever until I had to actually use the shower. While the water was warming up, all the water on the floor ran over to the sink and puddled up there. By the time I was done with my shower and ready to shave at the sink I was standing in a half inch of cold water. As it turns out, shaving with cold wet feet is a less than fantastic way to start the day.
(sorry about the photo, my camera lens is not wide enough to get the whole thing in one shot)
Here is the view from my room this evening:

Clearly you were supposed to sit cross-legged on the sink to complete your morning ablutions after you showered.
Hey that book you loaned me, A Spot of Bother, was very good. Will this blog include literary reviews, or is it strictly about hotel room ergonomics?
Who knows...? With one post under my belt this thing could go anywhere.
Glad you liked the book, and I'm still not getting you any music for Giftmas, so lump it.
you guys have toooo much time on your hands. Actually, those handy drains in the floors were developed for us old timesr who just pissed on the bathroom floors as a token of our esteem.
You should maybe talk to somebody about your fascination with urinating where you were not meant to.
fashion over function my friend.
