Acidman's Sunday Seven | Main | Dateline: Reno, Nevada

December 1, 2003

Well, I'm herein Reno, Nevada

I don't normally fly on holiday weekends, but I needed to be at my client's site bright and early this morning, so I flew here yesterday.

It was definitely amateur flyer night. Probably 70% of the people in the security line caused the detector to go off. They didn't know they should take hard sole shoes off, and all these poor little grandmas and grandpas were confused as to what on earth was wrong with their shoes. I blame the security asshats. After the first 10 people walked through with their shoes on, they should have started letting people know that maybe taking their shoes off would get them through - but no, they waited until about 60 people set off the alarm. Idiots.

Then, there were sick people all over both planes I was in. They were coughing, sneezing, wheezing - it was enough to make me sick!

I got to the hotel last night around midnight - around 2:00 am my home time.
I checked in, went up to my room, and realized it was not a non-smoking room.
I figured, I would worry about it in the morning, but I got maybe 2 hours of sleep, because I am very allergic to whatever the hell is in cigarette smoke, and I kept waking up, unable to breathe.

I changed rooms this morning, but it is only a queen size bed, and a smaller room. I'm a bit miffed.

No offense to those of you who smoke. I once smoked, too, but I quit 16 years ago, and though I don't object to other people smoking, I sure as hell don't like staying in a room that reeks of all the components of smoking, especially when I'm paying for it.
