thin plastic cups inside plastic sleeves. We throw out what we use. When we are in a suite that has a kitchenette, we always at least rinse the dishes and coffee cups before using. I just assume the cleaning people are in a hurry and don't wash their hands between tasks. That's why I also bring my own towels - they clean a toilet and then put out towels - ewww! Plus they smell like they weren't dried thoroughly - that fishy smell, you know. I just can't dry my hair and face on them, so I pack my own. The last place we stayed had a washer and drier, and we were there 1 week, so I washed some towels. Too bad there was no heat for the drier! It just tumbled with cold air. My dad said it was likely the plug wasn't wired right for a drier.
Yuck. The drier is where a lot of germs get killed.

Hotels
I used to manage a hotel with guest access. Guests have the ability to use individual passwords that change on a 24 hour basis and their own equipment, connection cards, etc. and not the hotel property. Not sure that every hotel operates the same way but I know the one that I worked for was a very secure connection, probably more so than any home connection.
I certainly cannot comment on your companies contract. I am only commenting on my own experience and knowledge. As far as what the OP wants to do with the info. that's up to her.
working from hotels
Has anyone ever done their job from a hotel room but NOT using tapes, using a regular phone? I may have to trave to my sisters and it is cross country. Rather than not work for the entire week, i was thinking of packing my lap top and Dictaphone Cphone and taking it with me. I figured i could work at night then sleep and then drive. BUT not sure if you can use a say phone card for the time by dialing into it with the dictahone OR not. Dont have any way to re=record the work and have the tapes sent to ME to be able to do it that way.
Any suggestions? Unfortunately I have not won the lottery so I do not have means to be able to just not work at all and am trying desparately to be there for her AND still support me.
Any help appreciated....

Oh one more thing..if your traveling and staying at hotels, plan ahead. I learned the hard way.
A hotel that states they have "internet access" does not necessarily have it in your room. A lot of them have what they call a "business" center where they have like a community computer to share with other guests or to have access on your laptop you need to sit in that room. I dont know about you but I dont feel like dragging out all of my equipment and sitting in a lobby somewhere to work. Double check that they have internet access available in your room.. and be forewarned that most chart for wireless internet access like maybe $10-12 for a 24-hour period. We just got back from Vegas, and to me, it was worth that fee for a whole 24 hours. I got the most work I could out of it.
