Well, I am hanging out in Memphis right now.  I booked a really shitty flight for this trip.  The cost was $500.00 less than a direct flight, so I tried to do the economically sound thing and take the cheaper flight. But it also meant that I’d be sitting in the airport waiting for my flight from 3p – 6p, then fly from Memphis to Chicago and then depart Chicago at 10p to arrive home at 1230a.  Fun times!

But, this trip has been really cool.  I went to a Users Group conference and got all kinds of insight into some customers businessess and how they use our software.  I’ve always known how powerful our solution was, but to see it implemented and hear stories right from our customer base was amazing.

So I am sitting in the Memphis airport people watching right now.  This really cute guy just sat four seats down from me in the gate area.  Then 5 minutes later this older guy who’s 9 months pregnant and has a perm comes and sits between us… cute guy leaves for the other side of the gate area.  Thanks perm guy.

It’s so funny to listen to people at the airport.  People talking about the proper way to walk a dog… Parents overmanaging their college aged kids while flying… Perm guy eaves dropping on other peoples conversations and chiming in…. Lame jokes about the airline industry…

My friend calls it NorthWorst Airlines…. ha ha ha!

I wonder what my life looks like from the outside looking in…
