airport randoms

-with very, very, very few exceptions you're really not important enough that you need to answer the phone in the bathroom. and it really doesn't impress anyone that you think you do.

-trouble had a post a couple days ago and i made some comments about how some guys who are considered unromantic show love in different ways. (some girls too...) and you just have to learn how to look for those ways. i was watching a woman struggling with a rolling carry on, trying to get it down the steps (the down escalator is stopped). she made it to the bottom and a just as she did, her husband caught up to her. she handed the roller off with a big smile and gave him a kiss and thanked him. said she'd never carried her own luggage in 18 years and didn't realize the hell she'd put him through, and he never complained once.

-alot of people who complain about the escalator being out a) made things tougher by themselves by not going the stairs instead (the height difference from step to step is smaller) and b) should be grateful because they need the exercise.

-more and more higher waisted jeans and less and less hip huggers=good thing. so few women can pull off the hip-hugger look.

-slc isn't the worst little city to visit. not sure that i'd move here, but some beautiful mountains, and a much more manageable size than some other places. i imagine that won't last forever

-i'm really starting to get cranky about the build-up for our deployment. put us on orders and bring us in and have us do everything at once. but quit calling me in the middle of the day and then getting pissy when i can't drop everything to come in and do something trivial. yes, i know we're "going to war", and yes, i know that's important. but so's having a job to come back to.

-there are ALOT of really short, really small waisted girls with no hips yet ginormous breasts in this airport. and it's freaking me out. it really doesn't look natural.

-today at lunch some really snooty chick parked her mercedes in the handicapped spot with no handicapped tags. can you call the cops on that?

-i personally do not tell someone i'm involved with to "go take a shower and think of me while you're in there" on the cell phone in front of a captive audience. if you're really, really unattractive, i'd appreciate it if you'd return the favor. because that's a mental image i don't want to be stuck with. bastard.

-ali larter is hot. and even though she may do a ton of really great things none of them will ever top the whipped cream bikini. which probably is another sterling example of my pigishness.

answering your telephone in the bathroom--there are just too many things wrong with that to even get started!

I had a girl get annoyed with me the other night when I went into a bathroom to USE THE BATHROOM, and I interrupted her cell phone call.

Also, for the Mercedes without tags in the handicapped space? I have specially printed cards in my purse for just that purpose. They are glossy black on one side, and on the other side they say, "You are a douche."

No, I'm not kidding. And yes, I have used them.

Good Wednesday morning Sean.

True. Never answer or talk on your cell phone while you are in the bathroom. Never. shudder. I want to hear someone talking, not doing anything else...

Nice that the woman realized what her husband had done for her for all those years with the luggage. That IS romantic. Taking care of someone can be done in lots of little ways.

Higher waisted jeans are a blessing.

SLC does have some beautiful mountains, doesn't it ?

Yeah, the cops should ticket Ms. Mercedes for that.

Visuals - of Ali Larter or whoever is hot - can definitely make your day. Doesn't make you a pig. Just makes you someone who likes to look.

And... 'blah' - you left a comment of 'blah' after I'd bared my vulnerable little old heart ??? Coal in your stocking, young man !

LOL!!

Constance said...

Sean,
'blah' makes perfect sense now. My empathy.

gotta go to the gym - bye !

(sigh) I want someone to carry my luggage, dammit!

Hang in there with all of this war/non-war juggling!
