plane observations
i've been on the road quite a bit recently. seattle, chicago, san francisco, vegas. coming up san antonio, vegas, phoenix, vegas.
i don't mind the travel, it's a nice way to break up the days/weeks. but i do get tired of living out of a suitcase. and i'm really starting to dislike airports. the process of getting on a plane has just become so tedious.
i'm that traveler that is forced to use 4 bins and a bowl to get through the xray machine. i've learned to pull off my shoes, unwind my scarf, pull 2 laptops out of my carry on and drop my watch and bracelet into the bowl with smooth efficiency. so you'd think that a girl like me would know to think ahead.
on my last pass through the vegas xray machine. i was similarly equipped, however i was wearing a thin white t-shirt (read: sheer) under my denim jacket, which um...well let's just say i wasn't thinking ahead all the way to the airport.
as i approached the xray technician, he politely requested that i remove my jacket. i replied that he really didn't want me to do that. he assured me that oh yes, he certainly did.
my co-worker just about collapsed in fits of laughter as i unzipped my "jacket", tossed it on the belt, and shimmied through the xray machine in my heels, skirt and see-through top. and not much, um else.
i figured if you find yourself indecently exposed there's no point in trying to be inconspicuous.
*shaking head*
