In the interim...

Hello all. I'm out interviewing this week so my blog will be quite tardy. I will try to post late this week. In the meantime, here's ten things that have happened to me this past week.

1. Visited my family for Easter and outed my grandfather for SBD farts he was blaming on the dog and the kids in the room.

2. Stayed in a questionable hotel with my mom.

3. Tried to explain to my 7 year-old second cousin why my husband and I didn't own hunting knives, pocket knives, or guns since everyone else he knew had one or all. He still didn't get it and asked, "You ARE Texans aren't you?"

4. Am being pursued by the government to be the fund distributor for the massive health issues that face our country today: West Nile and the Avian flu. I keep telling this dude that I don't believe these are real issues, only perceived ones because of the current administration. He still thinks I'm perfect for the job. Go figure.

5. Had the worst flight of my life on a plane where a ten year-old kid sleep-drooled on me for four hours, some weird guy next to me kept putting his leg on me, and the dude in front of me was trying to leverage his seat back like it was a lay-z-boy. I finally told him I was going to spit on his head if he didn't pull up a bit.

6. Got three hours of sleep before my interview on Monday because the air conditioner in my hotel room was so fucking loud.

7. Had a semantic argument with a pseudo-intellectual salesman during my interview because I refused to call obstacles opportunities and issues challenges.

8. Missed my flight home because the fire alarm covered up annoucements about my flight boarding and when I asked about my flight to the Continental lady, she told me it was delayed when it actually wasn't.

9. Sat in Newark airport for 5 glorious hours moving from gate to gate in hopes of getting on a flight back to Texas. (Getting on a flight was an obstacle to getting back to TX, NOT a fucking opportunity.)

10. Finally got the last seat on a flight and had to sit next to an alcoholic who had to piss every 5 minutes so I could not get any sleep. Now I have to go back to the airport in 2 hours. At least I'm getting some serious frequent flyer miles.

A real blog is forthcoming, I promise.

Well I have never found the Greyhound bus experience to be a positive one. I have vowed never to ride on one again.

I will have to remember the backpack thing for next time.

My subsequent flights have been better, only one 1.5-hour delay and some people with massive garlic breath sitting next to me. Oh yeah, and someone took a dump on the plane so it stank for half the flight (who does that?) but at least it covered up the garlic!
