That’s right baby I’m back. They tried to kill me. But I’m back. Update: I got a new job and now I’ll be traveling a lot for work, even though, you know, everyone should be staying inside as much as possible right now.
But what can I say, folks? I’m a company man through and through. I simply live to leverage my experience and create value for [Company Name Redacted].
In reality, depending on the airline you use, it’s not quite as scary as people make it out to be. I’d recommend choosing one of them that is keeping their middle seats open. I think all of them are requiring masks to be worn, but I could be wrong. (Side note, it will be wild like 30 years from now when kids are like “wait what everyone was wearing masks???”; alternatively, humanity could die out before then, who knows?)
At this point, my little baby brain is still thoroughly pleased by the novelty of being on a plane, as I’ve only flown a handful of times. And I’ve grown accustomed to the whole mask thing enough that I’ve actually fallen asleep while wearing one, so that doesn’t bother me too much either. So all in all, the traveling is kinda neat. For now.
I don’t really travel to super interesting places–I’m currently stuck in the Nashville airport waiting for a delayed flight to take me to a town I’ve never heard of in Virginia–so it’s more interesting to me to write about the journey instead of the destination.
I’ve been in this airport for about an hour and a half now, and I’ve heard multiple fire alarms go off. I have yet to see any fires, so… fingers crossed I guess. Also: this airport has its own merchandise. That’s weird, right? I mean look at this shit.
Like I said, my airport experience is limited, but even if most airports have their own branded merchandise, that just seems even weirder.
Why? Who is like “Oh damn I love this airport I gotta get myself the new tank top they just put out“?? Very strange to me. They’re an airport, not an indie artist.
And why do they need to sell merch in the first place? Are they not making enough money by charging me $14 for a whiskey and ginger-ale? (Thank god I didn’t order a double this time.)
Furthermore: Why are they not spending those profits on some damn air conditioning? It’s so hot I had to take off my warm-up pullover (featured above)–the core of my go-to airplane fit.
Another good investment would be more lunch options. I spent $8 on like 6 slices of cheese, 6 crackers, and a handful of grapes. I’m told this is a Nashville delicacy. Luckily I also bought some cashews, the price of which I chose to ignore/repress from memory.
Anyway, I don’t want to get too lengthy in this post, but since I have a bit more time to write as well as more subject matter. So expect more posts in the future! I’ll probably start with some travel tips. Traveling: Josh-Style.
Until then, peace out. Wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from each other, you freaks.
Love,
Josh
