Unbelievable...

My brief stint at being jobless and staying relaxed with family ended last week before I realized what was happening and I was on my way back to the US. I boarded the plane, an Emirates one to Dubai and as I was on my way to my seat, 18B, an East Asian looking air-hostess tried to direct me to my seat with a big customer-care smile. I made an awkward gesture that said something to the effect of: I got it, went to my seat and sat down. I began thinking aloud (well, almost), " You ma'am, yes you, the air-hostess person. Do you know that I lived through a roller-coaster month, said all the good-byes to family, figured out exactly where the Emirates counter was, to get my boarding pass, did not flinch when a burly looking, pot-bellied policeman (who I thought thinks he's some kind of a hunk-magnet) frisked me in front of about a hundred people, knew exactly where the gate to my flight was and now you think that I might get lost INSIDE an aircraft. Are you kidding me, ma'am? No, really!" Just as I was amusing myself with these frivolous thoughts sitting in my 18B, there was this dude asking the air-hostess directions to 10D. Unbelievable, man! Un-effing-believable!
