Hodge podge....

1) Why is security different at every airport? I masterfully was able to sneak a lighter through DIA security, but at KCI was practically stripped searched and then promptly repremanded for my lighter which I had forgotten about upon search. The lady who found it and thus my eye drops looked at me as if I had an actual liquid explosive attached to my body. She even shook her head at me. I mean, it was an honest mistake, sheesh. After my search, she asks me if she could take my lighter and discard. I said "um, no?, are you really going to give it back if I say no?" No. I guess rhetorical questions are protocol with airport security. She didn't find humor in my comment needless to say.

2) Another airport frustration: most people once they get off a plane actually have to use the restroom. They generally aren't in the mood to loiter. The restroom for me is a normal path from the jetway but for the 90% of women in the bathroom I attempted to go through, this was not only a social venue but NO ONE WAS PEEING. They were all standing around and saying "oh, do you need to get by?". Stall doors were wide open but I couldn't get by the cluster of "non-pee-ers" standing in a huddle near the entrance. I guess I should understand this by now, women and bathrooms, duh, social gathering place but it still infuriates me that I can't simply take a moment after my flight to get in and out of any airport bathroom.

3) I love watching The Office. I've mentioned this over and over again. And I've mentioned that I am tired of the Jim/Pam sexual tension but tonight it reached a new height. If there was one thing i would change to make my viewing life easier, it would be if they would just sleep together. That's it. One night or two, but seriously, are the writers on an abstinence diet? ugh, yet again. Thanks Office staff for giving me one more reason to hang myself. Well, I kid but seriously.....

4) While I am on shows, I can't tell you how many times Chas and I have said, "what's up with Ellen Pompeo's face? She looks like she's partially developed. Luckily, I don't really watch the show to see her, if you know what I mean, but she's distracting.

5) Why do I work at a place where people cry? I seriously can't delve into all of that right now, but, it's a souless black hole of a place. Luckily, I can submerse myself into my work behind my computer and fade away.

6) Speaking of crying, every single week, Grey's has some heartwrenching point during the show that makes me sob like a baby. Thanks Grey's Anatomy. I need stock in Kleenex.

7) What's that you say weather man? Huh? More snow all weekend? No, way??!?.... I know it gets tiring to a lot of people out here, but um, mountains = snow. Living in direct proximity to mountains = snow. Being able to see mountains from your window = you might get a little snow between Oct./Nov. 21st-March/April or even May (roughly). Let's not make an issue out of it, shall we? Next topic, please!
