Airports
“It is no coincidence that in no known language does the phrase ‘As pretty as an Airport’ appear.” — Douglas Adams

Airports, airline personnell and TSA are, if anything, just an illusion. There isn’t one part of any airport that seems to be done right. People are either falling asleep or they are going crazy, running as fast as they can. There are either no cabs when you need them, or an airport employee driving through the airport beeping at people to get out of the way. The seating and the odd cabinets that contain historical items of barely any significance all look second hand. Right now TSA is blasting a message about the importance of showing them your plastic bags of liquids. How can that really be important? Right now I’m watching an airline rep. try to satisfy a customer with a cancelled flight by rebooking her a departure out of Boston, free of charge. Only catch? That’s 60 miles away.
I hate airports. There’s nothing good going on here. Needless to say, as excited as I am about moving and flying to China, if I don’t get a mostly-direct flight, I’m probably going to go mad.
