Last week on one of my late flights back home I saw exit gate guy (the one who checks for no reentry) completely asleep, so paused halfway through and picked up my phone (damn slow iPhone power-up sequence) and was about to snap his picture, but he had stirred and opened his eyes by the time the phone powered up. I just kept walking forward because I knew if he saw me standing there as he awoke he might have called for a termina dump. Shoulda powered it up when I landed haha, would have a nice pic.

On Tuesday I was flying out early, early AM and was half-asleep going through security. One of the TSOs elbowed another and said "hey, hey, look at Charie" and pointed to the lady at the exit check, hunched forward, sound asleep. They both snickered and then one of them went over to wake her up.

The funny thing is I don't care; if these guys' job was important, they wouldn't hire people with zero qualifications off pizza boxes.

Websites like that often run out of steam though. This one was good, but hasn't been updated in months.
