3/5/08 I’m getting ready to travel to Texas tomorrow. I’m traveling for work as I need to present to my counterparts. I’m a bit nervous about the overall presentation. The group can often be difficult and challenge in a negative manor. I just keep my cool and do everything possible to answer their questions. Everyone seems to be experts on other people’s areas of the business except their own. Am I the only person that shows up to the airport? I’m early, 2.5 hours before my flight leaves. I like to get there early so I’m not rushed. I like to have some coffee, eat breakfast and make it through security without being rushed. Nothing drives me crazier then showing up late for feeling rushed. When I got to PDX the security line was not that big. However, people insist on not following the rules about liquids, thus making a short line very long to pass through. I really wish people would just follow direction and move through the line like cattle rather then raging against the system; after all it is what it is. Not to mention pissing of one of the security staff causes them to go into an ego trip which only makes the line worse. I don’t understand why people are so inept.
