The friendly skies

It's been awhile since I've had much to say. But thanks to the sarcasm of the guy at the airport trying to sign people up for a Southwest Credit Card I've found my voice again - and it's pissed.

Bugg and I arrived at Gate C9 about 10 minutes ago, happy, full of coffee, and ready for our trip to Ohio to spend the weekend with the birthday girls; Jewels, Mom, and G'ma. As we approached the gate to sit down and wait to board, a Southwest credit card sales guy asked if we wanted to sign up for 'free travel'. I politely declined with a 'no thank you' and a smile. Then he said under his breath with more than a hint of bitch - 'fine, if you want to pay for it'.

That flipped on my bitch switch and I turned and curtly said "being a smart ass is not a good way to get business".

I was fuming - that pit of the stomach fuming you get when you have to make an ass of yourself b/c of something some other ass did. And fuming b/c damn it - keep your comments to yourself.
