5 Meanderings From 5 Days Past

1. We saw two sets of friends this last weekend and had a great time. I even got to go get a mani/pedi with one of them! Drank some wine with the other while the girls played with their daughter. It was fun times. I almost forgot I had to go away for work.

2. My workplace took me down to the LA area for the last few days, in which I decided that I definitely don’t want to be doing what I’m doing for more than five more years.

3. Southwest’s line up system is a little annoying. Why don’t they just assign seats in the order that you check in already? I wasn’t the only one saying under my breath that I feel like I am back in elementary school while everyone made an attempt to line up in number order. Do they actually think that all adults will follow this system? And also, do you think an employee would call someone out for being out of order? Me either. While it’s nice and all that you get to choose your seat, it’s not great when you’re in one of two rows that ends up with someone in the middle seat who has gas the entire flight. No, I wasn’t a “C”, but I was a “B” and on the aisle. Talk about unfair.

4. It actually IS possible that you could have to go to three different copy places in order to get the correct services done. And they will all be something like 20 miles away from each other (at least that is what it felt like). And then at 9:30pm when you’d rather be at home (or in hotel room) watching Dancing with the Stars, you decide that it will take more than a half hour to get back to the hotel, and look, there’s a Chili’s right across the street from the copy place. I’ll just go dine alone while everyone stares at me and wonders why I am dining alone. Wait a minute, I wore my tradeshow exhibitor badge. They know. Do they also see the Big “L” on my forehead?

5. Does Google Maps freak anyone else out? I cannot be the only one. When I punch in my home address now, up pops my house. Well, it's actually my street. You have to scan down the street a little to get my house. But, from the view you can get, it almost feels like I am standing in the middle of my street looking straight into my driveway. It creeps me out. Really.
