10 Thoughts from a Tired Traveler

For those of you that don’t know, I work for UPS doing sales. I know it might seem like I blog and twitter all day long, but I do work. I don’t travel a lot for my job, but every once and awhile I do have to have some major windsheild time. Twice a year, for sure, I have to visit all the UPS Stores in Southern New Mexico. That is why I’m in Las Cruces right now passing the time by writting this blog.

As I spent close to eight hours today staring out the windshield trying not to swerve off the road into the ditch to end my misery, I had some time to think. Here are a few thoughts from my day.

When they have the signs on the side of the road showing the restaurants that are at the next exit, they should put the phone number to that restaurant on there too. This way you can order before you get there. Cause God knows you have no desire to wait in line behind Billy Bob’s Ford truck with the lift kit and gun rack to get your hamburger that has been in the warming been for five hours.
I would pay to use the bathroom if I knew that it would be clean. I swear why do people use public restrooms if all they are going to do is pee on the floor. Just go outside…you don’t have to get a key for that.
Why is it the gas stations in New Mexico have 12 types of whiskey, but doesn’t carry Rock Star Energy Drink?
New Mexico has a lot of long straight roads. They should set up inflatable bumpers like they have at the bowling alley for little kids on either side of the roads. This way I can set the cruise control and take a nap.
There is a freaking AUX button on the radio in my rental car…but where the hell am I suppose to plug in said AUX device! It’s a freaking conspiracy! There should be a law passed to make iPod docks standard in all new cars. Enough said!
There sure is a lot of dead grass in New Mexico. Somebody really should water our state more.
Why does one butt cheak always go to sleep before the other one?
If all the worlds population can move comfortable into the state of Texas, why aren’t we starting to move everyone there? It sure would make things easier.
Ohhh yeah. It’s Texas. That’s why.
I sure do miss Shannon.
