Things Learned on Day 1 of My First Business Trip


  • Getting up at 3:40 AM is NOT fun
  • 6:00 AM flights should be banned
  • If you smoke heavily and reek of cigarettes, you shouldn't sit next to me at 6 AM as I may barf in your lap
  • The Dallas/Ft. Worth airport is GINORMOUS
  • No matter how many flights I take, maintenance being performed on my plane before I take off makes me nervous
  • It's humid in Texas
  • I hate flying on tiny planes
  • The airport in Montgomery is tiny
  • My new office has no windows
  • It's important to eat more than once in a 15 hour period
  • The weather in the South is Hot & Humid
  • There is a town here called Wetumpka
  • My hotel room is pretty chill - sitting area, fridge, microwave, sink, desk, etc.
  • Have I mentioned it's hot here?

As an aside, yes, I've been neglecting all y'all's blogs... I'm sorry. I will try to get caught up in the next few days, but I'm not making any promises. Hope you're having a fab week!

When I flew I stored some snacks in my purse.

I'm glad you got there in one piece. Don't forget to take pics of your hotel room.

LMAO @Photowenis.

Morning flights are the worst. Actually anything that involves you to wake up in the crack of dawn are the worst.

I can[t stand heat too, I hope they have air conditioned room for you.

OMG I was in Dallas last night... it is ginormous! Did you get to take the fun little tram?? haha I'm sure you weren't in a mood to enjoy it at that point if you woke up at 3:40. BLAH!

Jaime said...

no no no! you should not be awake at 3 am unless you're still up from the night before!

ooohhhh ciggy breath people should be supplied with a pack of mints with their cig carton. The cig companies should be made to supply them.

Cig breath can halt me in my tracks from 50 yards...

and I used to smoke...

Are you going to get a pet possum?

Ms. Salti said...

Candace - I'm gonna start keeping snacks with me. I love that you're the only one who mentioned the Photowenis.

Andhari - The air conditioning is great here... except for my office!

Brooke - Yes, I took the tram. I can't believe how gigantic the airport is. I thought I'd walk to the next terminal... think again!

Jaime - My thoughts exactly!

CW - I hear ex-smokers are the worst about being sensitive to smokers! Good thing you quit!

Jules - I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way!

Meatbag - You'll be just fine. Maybe I'll see you in the airport.

Captain - Um, yeah.
