the Cincinnati airport commuter terminal - what circle of hell are you?

Stuck here at CVG – flight was to leave at 8:50. I would have gotten home at 9:20. Then, it was delayed. Rage! Oh, only to 8:56. Jeez, why do they put that on the board at all?

Sit.

Wait.

Get Qdoba. Pretty good.

Sit.

Look over at big screen. WHAT? Que’?!? (I don’t know the word “what” in any other languages so that was about it) delayed to 11:40! How could this be?

Small freak out.

Realize that still have work to do, so could use the time effectively.

Internet too slow to do much work. Get angry.

Worker bee in me dies.

I am sad.

Get a snackie. Take that customer, you just paid 8 bucks for beef jerky.

Oh, it isn’t the customer’s fault. Feel slightly bad.

Then remember that didn’t get gas for rental car – feel more abashed.

Refocus on my own tragedy. I am stuck in the Cincinnati airport.

Forgot my iPod on this trip and have had to listen to Anderson Cooper OVER and OVER again on the TV.

Still here.

They offered us fresh brewed coffee. Four times. It just annoyed me more.

 

Okay! We are boarding! Wish me well!!!!

obscene banana?

At a work meeting. I look over and my customer counterpart’s banana has a sticker:

POCKET SIZE FUN!

I got a weird feeling inside when I read it.

today's song - Fuck me pumps from Amy Winehouse

Not because I am wearing some. Or I am that kind of person. But I do like the song.

saucy and sarcastic, but not so needy

I can just barely keep up with reading blogs when a new one pops up like once a week. This guy on the other hand writes big long (and well thought through) posts at a manic pace. I admit, I fall behind.
however, I wanted to add to his list of actors that we don't like in this post.

mine is Renee Zellwiger (or however you spell it - I don't care enough to look it up)
I don't like her. I will actively avoid things with her in them.

It started well before Bridget Jones, but it really came to head at that point. I loved that book. I am saucy and sarcastic and yet not that fragile (I probably am) and it made me feel like I had a hero who I was better than. - Renee ruined it for me.

side note - I hate movies made from books I have read. with the exception of Breakfast at Tiffany's (where the book and movie diverge so significantly they really aren't the same) I think that all those movies should be burned. I HATE it when I talk about a book and someone says, oh yeah I saw that movie. I then ask, did you read the book? they answer no, but the movie sounds just like that - yes I am sure you did see the movie, but I now think less of you. (I realize this is judgey of me. and I am trying to stop being so judgey. but I can't help it. I am a snob)

This morning - my theme song is Taking the Long Way by the Dixie Chicks.
