April 26th, 2007the perils of trade shows
My company is running a conference in Baltimore. I made the Porkchop come with me because a) it’s boring, b) I need a drinking buddy every night and c) with him here, I have a good excuse to not go out with my bosses at night.
So far, at the airport the mean people threw away about $50 worth of lotions and lipstick. Granted, I forgot my little plastic baggie, but I figured they’d have one (every other time they have), but they didn’t, so I had to toss my stuff.
Then the taxi tried to kill us.
Also, being in this close proximity to my boss for this many hours is very, VERY wrong.
I learned recently after a ton of my crap was thrown out that if you just take it out, all your lotions or whatever, and put them in their own seperate tub without a baggie they will let you keep them. I did it in NY, OR and WA. So far no problems that way. 🙂

lol, I almost got caught in the JFK airport because one of the ladies said:
“you carrying liquids, lotions or any drink?”
“no,no and no”
“ok, follow the queue”
( after crossing the control the woman said )
“you sure you don’t have nothing in your bag”
“I am sure….why?”
“You sure? I think you are a liar”
( huhhh???????? )
“You have a bottle of water”
“IT IS ONLY WATER! and I forgot, I AM SORRY!”
“LIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR”
Imagine the situation, that cow yelling on me and the rest of the passengers waiting … ¬¬ silly.
