Some times it's easy (i.e. I stayed at the Inn at Spanish Bay in Monterey for the last week, everything on a master account) and some times it sucks (i.e. I lived out of the Extended Stay America in White Plains for a month in September).
As far as listening to chicks talk goes, I make it a point to set the conversational standard as early as possible. Every time they bring up something stupid and insignificant and mundane and boring (99% of conversation) I point out a physical flaw they have.
