the heart of rock and roll

they say the heart of rock and roll is still beating

yep, thats right. i'm on a flight right now listening to huey lewis. i LOVE him. ha. gotta love that 80s saxophone.

so i'm traveling for work this week. i decided to take a monday morning flight instead of a sunday night flight because i am sick of giving up my weekends for the job. and of course it turns out that all monday flights are full of business travelers. this morning going through security - i am always glad to go through the priority line because you dont have to wait behind families and all the people in the priority/first class line know how to go through security (just like in that george clooney movie). it wasn't until i was waiting to go through security that i realized there were no people in the "regular" line. the business line was full! second evidence of business travelers is this: last fall i was starting to get upgraded a lot. this morning, i walk to the gate and look to see if i might get upgraded. on my first flight, i was #15 on the upgrade list (out of 20). on my second flight i was NUMBER FIFTY-TWO. that means at least a third of the people on the flight are highfalutin business travelers and i am just a measly traveler. i think there were 60 or 70 people on that list. so, anyway, got knocked down a bit (heaven forbid i get too big for my britches!)

ok, i'm getting sick of the guy next to me. he's not even a big guy, but he keeps elbowing me in my side. you're supposed to SHARE the arm rest and preferably NOT TOUCH your neighbors. annoying. grrrr...

ok, now that was just a major jab. what is the etiquette for this sort of thing? do i say something to him? do it back to him? i dont get it. he fits into the seat easily. its almost as if he's forcing his arms over to use the armrest. ugh. now i'm annoyed. and i have a headache. but that is because of my roommate. he made me strong (yet delicious!) drinks last night. grr to him! :) i was supposed to get a lot of stuff done for work and ended up not getting anything done. i had to wake up at 3am to pack for my trip, but i slept until 4 and then rushed (which i am getting really good at!) and made it to the airport on time.
