@RebeccaMaranoYP - your story about people stuck @TrinityLeeds parking for hours back from April 2019 is repeating. Every car stuck from the 8th floor down for 90 minutes so far. People abandoning cars, arguing with security staff. Absolute chaos - no one in charge.

It’s great to be back in person at TelecomTV’s DSP Leaders World Forum event after 3 years! Lots of discussion on the role of cloud vendors in the telco ecosystem - separating reality from marketing fiction. #DSPLWF22 #telcocloud lnkd.in/g2hf594p

@MarriottBonvoy @WestinCopleyPl How can you get a good night sleep at your hotel? Between the crazy frat parties, paper thin walls, new guests randomly keying into your room & security that wants to know why you are even in your room, each night is wild & restless!

@SFSpasOfficial Please can you tell me how to get real service? My (in warranty) Spa has been broken since early Dec. & your techs either miss appointments or can't fix. Getting the next appointment (to miss) then takes two weeks. What do you recommend @Sundance_Spas?
