Presents, Holidays and Travel

So, the holidays are upon us.  We all have to deal with them in some way.  Either by having to wait in longer lines, or deal with more paid time off being used by employees or a budget that stops making sense, it bites us all.

With that, we have travel, lots of people have to do it and it is one of the worst experiences a person can have.  I can tell you from personal experience that being stuck for 3 hours on a runway with a nice old lady who just wants to tell you about how nice their grandkids are gets a little annoying after then first 2 hours.  Oh, and let’s talk about courtesy services.

Airlines allow you to set up automated calls to let family know if delays happen or flights get re-routed.  What they also can do is tell you family that your flight is at the wrong time, thus getting you stuck in a cold airport that is having construction done for over 2 hours (worst cold I ever had resulted from those 2 hours).

So here’s a thought, let’s get some bright people on this video conferencing thing and let’s have Christmas pudding over Skype with a big screen TV instead of freezing ourselves in airports.

By the way, Happy Holidays to all of my readers.
