How I usually start my Monday Morning..

Wow! It's been almost 7 months since my last entry.

Being a consultant, I fly out everyday and I thought why not, after catching a 6:00 am flight to Denver, share my experience through a blog.

a) Wake up at 3:30 am
b) go back to sleep at 3:31 am
c) Wake up, reluctantly, at 3:45 am.
d) Get ready and Get Dressed and wait for my cab.
e) Cab Arrives at 4:30 am
f) Enter into a healthy discussion with the cab driver who emphasized his Republican leanings throughout the conversation. I gained enough knowledge about Virginia's traffic problems and how the Democrats screwed the whole thing up in the first place. Tim Kaine - if only you had caught this cab. (4:35 am - 5:00 am)
g) Arrive bleary eyed at the airport and go through security. It's amazing to see how many non-business people travel at such an early time. Always makes me wonder where these folks are travelling to(5:00 am)
f) Get in to the People Mover (For the ignorant, it's a inter-terminal shuttle). Watch the driver struggle to align it in it's slot at Terminal C. (5:15 am)
h) Walk up to the gate and try to change my seat from 32 C to anywhere in the front, finally settle on 11C (5:20 am)
i) Enter the plane, sit on someone else's seat only to be politely reminded that I am in the wrong seat. Turn red, apologise profusely, and change seats.
j) Watch as an oversize man put this oversize bag into the overhead compartment and overstuff himself in the middleseat next to me. Luckily, I had a window seat.
k) At around 6:20 am, after the was at 35K feet, the oversize man complained vociferously to the purser because they had forgotten to change the movie from last week. Why on the earth, at 6:30 am, would you want to watch a movie when 90% of the plane was asleep.
l) Tried to sleep on the plane but Mr.TooManyFriesFromMcD's oversize palm kept prodding me. (6:00 am to 7:45 am Mountain Time)
m) FInally, land in Denver, only to find thatDenver is as cold as Cheney's mechanically kept alive heart. (7:45 am)
n) Stand in the line at the Car Rental (Hertz). Every person in front of me seemed to be involved in a deep discussion with the Car Rental advisors. Felt like shouting, for goodness sake's people, you are just renting the car and not deciding the fate of the world. Leave that to Messrs. Bush and Blair. (8:15- 8:45 am)
i) Drive in to work only to find there was no need for me to fly in that day (9:30 am).

Exciting stuff eh!
