Afternoon Commute: No Morning Commutes This Week

I haven't really had anything to say in the mornings this week and it's because of a couple of things:

1) I've been away from home at a work related conference. As a result, the only commute I've had has been from my hotel room, down to the lobby, across the lobby, up another set of elevators to meetings.

2) It's hard to write on the move when you are an idiot who leaves your BlackBerry in a cab for the second time in three weeks (though this time I was able to get ahold of the cab driver who is graciously holding it for me until my return (yes I am an idiot (yes, I will make sure it is all the way in my pocket before exiting cabs from now on (yes, it is extremely strange to go five days without a cell phone (yes, it's even stranger to be the guy using a pay phone in a nice hotel)))).

3) My mini-rambles in the morning are usually inspired by the people shoving/standing in the aisle on the Silver Line in Boston. Hence, why I've written about the people who shove/stand in the aisle on the Silver Line in Boston. Seriously, get out of the aisle, the entire back of the bus is completely empty and there is a door for you to exit through in the back. Please, don't make me be the shoving guy who wants to move back to allow other people onto the bus. But I digress.

4) I've been so glued to cable news since Monday that I haven't really had time to sit down and digest much of what's going on. I've previously expressed my feelings in advance of Super Duper Tuesday, but haven't really said what I thought about the result. I'll save that for another time, but this is pretty amazing:

5) For some reason, my ThinkPad refuses to charge beyond 20% full, despite having been turned off and plugged in all night long. I mean, what's up with that? I had the battery set to "Longer Battery Life," which I guess let's it run down farther than normal before recharging, but I shut that setting off. Now, I want this thing fully charged so I can read stuff or write meaningless rambles on my flight back across the country. Come on already.

6) Wait, I think I got sidetracked from what I was originally writing about, which is why there were no "Morning Commute" posts this week. Anyway, I'll be back on the bus tomorrow, probably towards the back, writing about how flying back and forth across the country is never fun, except when it is.
