If you owe me money for a vacation that was taken five months ago don't ask me what I want for Christmas. What I want for Christmas is my freaking money back. If you insist on a list it's only going to have one thing on it. My money. However, if it will make it look better I will list it multiple times phrasing it differently each time. And, if you owe me money for a vacation that was taken five months ago and think you're going to get a Christmas present from me, you are right, you will. A box with a note inside that says "Merry Christmas! You have received a five month interest free loan!".
Okay, not really, but that's what I would really like to do.
I have no problem with airport security. I will follow the rules, I will do what you ask of me, I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is lack of consistency. If you make me take off my hoodie forcing me to stand in the stupid line wearing a tank top that wasn't meant to see public with my bra straps hanging out looking completely like white trash then you darn well better make everyone else with a sweatshirt do the same thing. And, if that is the rule, make me do it everytime so I know to expect it and not wear that tanktop.
Lastly, to the jerk on the airplane....the flight attendant was not rude to you. You were just being a dumbass. When the flight is getting ready to take off you do not scream for the flight attendant's attention because you have some screwed up request to make about a drink you would like later during the flight. Especially when there isn't a beverage service because the flight is under 45 minutes/. When the flight attendant tells you to put your backpack under the seat and move your seat in the upright position after you make this request they are not being a jerk. They are making you do what everyone else is doing. Don't complain to the other flight attendatns that they were rude, and that "please and thank-you can go a long way". So can not being a dumbass. Like when we were getting off of the plane and you removed your bag from the overhead bin and knocked me in the head not once but twice and didn't apologize. Apologies can go a long way too. Or, when you then tried to close the overhead bin door (I don't know why...) and hit someone else in the head with it. Although you did apologize and your apology was clearly not accepted, it was unnecessary to explain to the other passengers it was fine that you knocked that guy in the head because he looked hard headed any way. And, by the way you are right, of course it was the airlines fault, they really should have put padding on those doors to protect others from dumbasses like you. Put some on your bag too.
Cheers.

Changes...
Right now my dinner arriving would make me really, really, really, really happy.
It's almost 8:30 and I am sitting in a stupid hotel room in Philadelphia. Which, if you know me, is one of my least favorite places to travel. It's dark. It's raining. I don't know where I am, and I refuse to go out...so, I'm waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
I've come to the realization that it might be time to change jobs. I don't enjoy my job. On top of that, I'm actually not very good at it. I'm finding a lot of things very frustrating and shady, and I'm just not into shadiness. I feel isolated. I no longer trust my boss, and if you can't trust your boss then who can you trust? Working from home is not all it's cracked up to be. I miss having friends at work. I miss leaving the house. I think that I am depressed, and working from home is certainly not helping. I think I need to leave the house and have human interaction everyday. Yes, I see Marc everyday, but not for very long since we have opposite schedules. And, I need to see people other than Marc. The problem is that I would be giving up a lot of good benefits, and I'm debating on if that is the right choice or not. I'm feeling that obviously all of this material benefits are not all that, if they were I would be happy, and they aren't making me happy. But, they do make things easier.
On top of that, I hate the travel. I don't think hate is strong enough of a word for how I feel about it. And, I dread the travel. When I have a trip coming up (a trip that involves a flight and spending nights some where...) I dread it from the moment it is booked. I then count the time down until I get to go home. And then start dreading the next trip. Right now, I'm in Philly dreading going to Detroit.
The next obstacle is that obviously this isn't a very good job market. There are zero jobs listed any where in my field. I'm fine with changing fields. I just don't feel that I'm qualified to do anything. Anything else that is.
Going back to school would be an option, but with this job that would be virtually impossible since I travel and my schedule is not consistent from week to week. Plus, I'm sort of into instant gratification, and going back to school would not give me that.
I'm also sort of stuck with location. Right now, I'm probably looking at an hour commute to get to Indy...and I'm not sure I'm feeling that.
I just don't know what to do, but something needs to change because this isn't cutting it.
