faulty air conditioning canned breakfast

the location worked, i guess. it was near some stuff, so that's something.

The air conditioning barely worked. it was like trying to cool a sauna with a hand fan. plus, the breakfast tasted suspiciously like it came from a can, not exactly the gourmet experience i was hoping for. Everything tasted the same, every single day.
