It Doesn't Work and other bits of useful information..

I dont understand people and computers. Not a day goes by that I dont hear "It doesnt work". Why is that helpful to me? What exactly do you expect me to do with that bit of information? Im really beginning to think that people think computers actually are magic and you dont need any information whatsoever to fix it. You wouldnt go to your doctor and say I hurt and have the doctor try to figure out what you want. He might look at your hand and you might have a broken foot!! So why am I expected to do the same? I think the next time I hear its broken i will break out a voo doo doll and some sparkly powder and throw it over the computer and tell them maybe the gods will grant your request and fix it.

Traveling is sooo glamorous..or 78th on the upgrade list

When you travel constantly for your job you are hoping to get a few perks for doing so. One of the perks that you hope to get is status and with status comes upgrades from the back of the plane to first class. Now in the back of the plane they pack you in like cattle and charge you for anything you might want to do like say drink, eat or watch a movie and just to make sure you know you are in the public transport system they pull this little curtain across the doorway blocking the view to the promised land of first class where they treat you like real people.

I have been traveling for a long time now and the perks are getting fewer and father between. This Monday I was on the 8am business mans flight and i had my optimistic thoughts of getting bumped up to first class where I could enjoy a OJ and not having someone I dont know and dont want to know basically sharing a seat with me. I get to the airport and look at the board and find out I was 78TH ON THE UPGRADE LIST!!!! This was a new personal low for me and I wasnt even the last person on the list! The list had 98 people on it. now I ask you, if you have 98 people on the upgrade list, are you really getting a perk??

Yup.. traveling is glamorous.

It all started with a photo of a chicken

Well, not really the chicken photo, but the idea of the chicken photo.  We've been telling each other tales from our weekly trips for years now.  Sharing "you won't believe this" photos and stuff.  We just decided to make this a real blog right about the same time I took this photo.  This is from Key West.  Apparently, if you've never been, they have Feral Chickens.  Yep.  Feral.  Chickens.

I have these great plans to write up my whole week in a review-style format, including places to eat..not eat..and stuff to do that I found interesting all while working my butt off.  In the meantime, here's that chicken photo:
