Annoyed by geeks in Orlando
I got out of Orlando by the skin of my teeth.That's how I felt, btw--that I had skin on my teeth. I caught the most massive head cold, so throughout my meetings I was wheezing and spewing and sneezing and coughing. I did my best to keep away from people, even going so far as to set up one of my meetings via WEB EX, for God's sake, despite the fact that I was just in the next room!
Aren't I thoughtful?
This explains why there were only limited posts during the trip. Anyhow, I felt a bit better on the plane home. Loving Annie smartly suggests using seatguru.com , which I do all the time to select plane seats, and I found myself heading northwards in Delta's 767-300's best seat in the house, 26F. The reason I like this seat is, no annoying douchenozzles next to you asking you questions and talking up a storm.
All was not sweetness and light, unfortunately. The normal advantages of 26F were trumped by the geek-athon that was occurring in seats 25F and 25G, directly in front of me. Two guys who looked like the dorkage pictured at left engaged in a non-stop, loud, screeching argument from takeoff to touchdown. The subject? The efficacy of object oriented programming in a Linux environment. Or something like that.Apparently not content that Delta wasn't showing Firefly on endless loop on the in-seat video player, these George Lucas worshiping, living in their mother's basement Star Trek groupie noids completely spoiled my flight, and I say to them here and now on the morning of my 50th birthday: Shut up. Buff my scrotum. Or, as you geeks would say it: "100010111010001001110 10000 110001001001000111111."
