The Airport

I'm at the airport right now doing my favorite pass-time--people watching.  There is a lady on the floor playing with her dog and I swear if I get seated next to her on the airplane I am staying in SLC.  I wish i liked animals more.  No, I actually don't.  It's fine.  PETA stands for people eating tasty animals doesn't it?  So anyway--things I've noticed about  the airport:

• Lots of access to charging ports, but for some reason the people sitting at the seats that I could charge my phone at are always the old women just reading a book. They probably don't even own a cell phone or any electronic device they're flying with for that matter.
• Overpriced food.  Seriously I almost just bout an apple for $3 before I remembered who I am and what I stand for.
• The people who walk around wearing doctor masks.  I know there probably are a lot of germs at the airport, and maybe they really are sick, but if that is just a precaution I'd say that's a bit dramatic.
• You're told to get to the airport TWO hours in advance to your flight leaving.  I got here at 10:00, and it's now 10:30, I'm sitting in a seat at my terminal waiting for over an hour until I can board.  TSA has really picked up the pace here at SLC INT'L.
• Why does everyone here look so exhausted?
• I've been to an airport where there was no free Wi-Fi.  They already made me pay $25 to check a bag and now THIS? I'll probably never go there again.
• Lastly, the Delta terminal of SLC has Cafe Rio and crushed ice.  Made my day.

See ya.

Indirect Communication

I would have to say that the worst way of getting your point across is by trying to do so through indirect communication.  If you have something to say why not just say it how it is?  There are few cases where I'd say this varies:

1. Tweets
1. Stop tweeting at the world when you in fact have things to say to a specific person.  None of us want to hear or guess who you're talking at when you say "I can't believe I listened to you," or "Can't get you off my mind."  Like obviously you had a bad relationship.  And how dumb would you feel if your ex saw that their existence obviously takes up most of your time.  Stop tweeting about it.  Write in a journal or talk to your mom. 
2. Songs
1. Text message:  "Hey you should listen to this song, I think you'll really like it"
1. The lyrics are indirectly saying exactly what this person wants to say to you, but they can't say it.  I call this pulling a Taylor Swift.
3. The Grapevine
1. "My friend told me that her roommate heard you and your sister talking at Starbucks last week about her.  Are you fighting?"
4. Friendly Notes :) 

1. I suppose this way is actually quite direct and to the point.  It's all done through notes though.  This is awkward because then when you see each other in person you remember that you forgot how to talk to people's faces when you have a problem.
2. My friend had these on her Instagram, battles between her roommates.  Hilare. Hopefully Hailey and Kaisha figured things out.
