Stuck...

I should have known better. The first half of my flight was too good to be true. I had two seats to myself and no crying babies. The second leg is more than making up for that comfort already.

I hate United Airlines. Their service on board isn't great, but what's worse is that they are always running late! Today, my flight is a ridiculous 2.5 hours late (if it arrives at the predicted time). I tried to change my flight to an earlier one, but since I had already rechecked my baggage, they refused to help.

I'm jet lagged and I am getting pissed off really easily. It doesn't help that people go out of their way to make traveling difficult. The guy routing people into various lines for the security check insisted that I had too many bags, but as long as I held some of my stuff in my hands without a bag, THAT was o.k. WHAT?! IT'S THE SAME AMOUNT OF CRAP YOU MORON! Needless to say, it only gets better when you have to practically strip naked for the security check. Take off all of your coats and sweaters (in winter this is a feat in itself), take off your shoes, take your laptop out of the bag and your toiletries too. And, don't forget that you have 15 seconds to get it all back in order before the next person's crap will slam into yours. I don't know anybody that can get their shoes on that fast!

I have been awake for 24 hours now, and I still have at least 7 hours to go before I can sleep well.
