I'm standing in the Orange County airport this afternoon waiting for my flight home when I hear over the PA system, "Will the passenger who left their hearing aid batteries please return to the security checkpoint."
Wonder how that turned out.
I fly for work a fair amount. Not long distances. Usually just
between Southern and Northern California. But it's pretty much at least
once a week.
When you fly that much, you tend to get to know some of the airport
staff at least by sight. The girl who checks your ID and boarding pass
before you get to the X-Ray machines has become one of my "airport
friends."
The past couple weeks I've been flying even more than usual, seeing
my "airport friend" several times a week. On Thursday afternoon I
passed her in the terminal and exchanged hellos. Less than 12 hours
later, I was back at the airport at 5 a.m. for another flight up. I get
to my airport friend, hand her my ID and boarding pass.
She looks up and says, "You need a vacation."
