OK, so I was in my hotel room, and I was desperately hunting for an
electrical outlet. I had a Pacmate and a cell phone to charge, and a
cassette player that I wanted to plug in.
Try as I might, I couldn't find electrical outlets in the usual places, such
as along the wall just above the floor. I did find one in the bathroom,
where the hair dryer and razor were plugged in, but I knew there had to be
more somewhere. After all, this room had advertised itself as network
capable, so there must be a place to plug in your laptops, right?
Well, try as I might, I couldn't find one. Even the lamps seemed hard-wired
into something, with their cords disappearing beneath the carpet and their
"plugs" wired directly into a connector.
So where were my electrical outlets? I didn't want to ask anyone from the
group I was in, because I was trying to appear at least a little
independent, but while I was talking to a friend from home, he told me that
the outlets were often on the tables.
I didn't quite believe him, but as it turned out, the outlets I found were
in the base of the lamp that was sitting on one of my tables.
What a bizarre place for electrical outlets?
I only tell this tale because I figure there may be others out there who
didn't realize that the electrical outlets might be in the lamps. Hope this
helps someone someday.
