I am now at the Westin in downtown San Diego for the night. I flew down earlier today on Southwest for a meeting. It was a pretty strange flight. The crew made a point of repeatedly saying that we weren't allowed to put beverages, electronics, or
big books in the seat pocket. I think it was stressed more emphatically than any of the safety rules. I tried searching on Google to see if this was another silly measure imposed by the FAA but didn't come up with anything. Therefore the only thing I can think is that the crew didn't want to have to clean out as many seat pockets between flights. This reason seems absurd. I can understand that the cleaning is probably the least pleasant aspect of the job, but it's still part of the job. And isn't the purpose of the seat pocket to store things during flight...such as water bottles, ipods, and books of all sizes? I'm interested to see if it was isolated to this one flight crew or if I'm going to have to hear about how dangerous the seat pocket is through all my Southwest flights now. Next stop is Austin tomorrow so I'll find out soon enough.
In happier news, I've decided to write about at least one new thing every week that pleasantly and surprisingly delights me. The inaugural find is a greeting cards website called
Someecards.com. This site is, without a doubt, one of the most hilarious sites I have ever come across. Here are just a few of the gems I found:
As someone who has to create a new expense report every week and tape all physical receipts to pieces of paper, I can truly relate to the sentiment and find it damn funny.
I think anyone who has to create presentations on a regular basis feels the pain here. I sent this to a coworker recently who spent hours preparing for the wrong topic because it was miscommunicated by her manager. Fun fun fun.
I think my goal is to communicate via only these cards for a whole day and see how many people I can offend and entertain simultaneously.
