thanks Tex. f*cking sheep is allot better and more colourful than my excuse.
I've got a new one, unfortunately. I was flying two days ago and was not too stressed, but drag ass tired because I could not sleep the night before. I had that funky taste in my mouth. The type you get when you've been up for plus 24. This taste so much reminds me of the Navy, never having a normal day, getting one night of 7 hours sleep in a week and the rest are 3 to 5 hours. Standing on the bridge for days. I've done a few 72-80 hours stints, more than a few 48's and too many in the 32 hour range. Just coffee, cigarettes, and very little food.
Well I guess I was there, because the kiosk I was using to check in on was asking too many damn questions I had already answered on the internet. I had set my big old double triple cafe latte on top of the machine and I was punching at the touch screen like it was an arcade "kill the aliens" game and cursing at the damn thing on every question. At the end, I yanked out my boarding pass and then.........the cafe latte fell off the back side of the machine and completely doused the power cable and the outlet it was plugged into. I'm not sure if I yelled, but I think it was kind of loud I said "MotherF***er!! and What the F****!!!"
Then I saw what had happened and visions of fire alarms and mayhem came to mind. I did this move that well..... I think you can only do it in this frame of mind. Not a run.....not a skip..... but just some very fast inconspicuous walking. Kind of like you just glide across the floor at very high speed. I got the hell out of there. Passed a cleaning woman on the way, and thought. "uh oh. here it comes"..... Nothing.
On a bright note. I went back to the coffee bar and the girl there gave me another Latte for free. Happy Days. Airports still suck though.
