Considering I just returned from NJ, this strikes a cord with me. That and the fact that it's pretty god damned funny.

Speaking of NJ....EWR (Newark Intl Airport) is probably one of the most jacked up places I have been. It pulls a close second to DFW, but looses since they didn't appear to have death manning the counter at the security site. Over all though, if you asked me if flying American Airlines out of DFW was a good idea, I'd have to say no...the people manning the gate desks are utter and complete incompetent morons. Unless of course you like standing in lines...if line standing is what you enjoy, with no movement, then EWR is your nirvana. Or perhaps you would like to taste the wonders of a 9 dollar personal pizza, with more sausage on it than the sky has stars. If so then EWR is certainly your destination.

With the sheer number of flights out of that place, you would imagine that some body's gotta be making money besides the restaurants. The only impression that I left with was that somebody somewhere was getting stinkin' rich off that place, and hadn't done any improvements since the last time I spiked my hair to look cool in 1988 (and no...it didn't work).

Anyways boy it's nice to be home, even if I did have to drive through rush hour traffic on I90 to get there cause my flight was 1 1/2 hours late. I'm still shocked that my car was even there....and not even ticketed. My O'Hare naivete must be showing, but nothing about my parking was 100% legit. But then again for a friday night that place was so packed that I suspect that the car I was semi-blocking (I mean I could have gotten out) was still there. So I suspect a lot of flights were late that day.

Well off to watch anime, honestly it's been great to relax a bit today with Jen. A week of meetings doesn't sound like a rigorous exercise, but being in a room with a guy who makes 3x's more than you and arguing with him can get a little daunting :) Although I feel pretty good about it in the end honestly, I'd like to think that if I got that high up the food chain I'd be sick of bullshit and appreciate an honest answer.

We'll see monday if my desk is still there :P
