Lafayette Channel 10 KLFY-TV has just reported hotel overbookings at the Best Value Inn. Due to damage to the chain's main computer system in Florida, the Best Value -- which only has 300 rooms -- was allowed to accept 10,000 reservations. The parking lot is full of angry guests who have confirmed reservations and no rooms. KLFY reports that it is STILL possible to book a room at the Best Value via priceline.com and other sites because the glitch hasn't been fixed yet. What a catastrophe!!

That IT guy is nowhere to be found, is having a drink somewhere.

That's only the beginning of the ugliness.
