I’m Grumpy

I’m tired, jet lagged and grumpy. Last week I had to, on short notice do a six day tour of upstate NY, NYC, DC and Northern Virginia. No wonder I’m tired, that’s a lot of territory to cover in six days. Between a total of 7 flights one of which was one of those “hmmmmm I’m going to die today” flights and the always very pleasant and efficient TSA experience I am about spent.

For those who not familiar with TSA they are the contracted airport security firm used in most if not all American airports. There approach to security is something not unlike a trip to the local fast food joint or local Walmart. You are almost in every case met by some underpaid, under trained cyborg who speaks at you with that mono tone half asleep grunting that just screams I’m so engaged in my work and care for your safety. Now I can totally understand how shitty that job must be. You deal with literally thousands of travellers each day and there is always, always that stupid fuctard who has four bottles of water, a ham, a light machine gun and a gas can in his carry on luggage. I know I couldn’t do it.

I’m glad no travel for me for a while….

Be good
