Thailand

Got into the spanking new airport in Bangkok at 1 am. I finally got my stuff and through customs at 2:30. For some reason I attracted the attention of a bored customs guy and he emptied my bags. When I got to the airport hotel they had no room for me.
I finally got to bed at 4 at the Marriott downtown.
Just another travel day.
Full slate of meetings and a 6 am flight to Chiang Mai Wednesday.
It appears that this hell trip is going to be extended one more day and my weekend is shot (again).
Its times like these that I wonder if its all worth it.
But that's just the lack of sleep talking.
The last time I was in Thailand I could barely walk as I was doubled up with a compressed disc in my neck. It was without doubt, one of the worst weeks of travel I can remember.
Other than being tired, today I'm fine. I think reflecting on how bad I felt last time, makes me realize that life could be a lot worse and I should stop being such a baby.
Go with the flow a bit more Terry.
This weird life I live tends to distort my outlook at times but I figured I was on top of that.
"Mr Business man" needs to get some perspective.
I'm inwardly cringing at the way I was "Don't you know who I am -ing", in the wee hours of this morning when I couldn't check in.
If there wasn't a room , there wasn't a room and no amount of puffed chest posturing was going to change that.
The poor guy had to contend with a big jerk (albeit a tired one) berating him at 3 o'clock in the morning. I've always despised people who put on that kind of act, and being tired is really no excuse for behaving like a self-important idiot.
Self-examination mode over now.
Good to catch my breath and realize that I'm not the center of the universe.
Still I am pretty bloody tired.........
