I can now define myself as a geek, all thanks to Kasia:
” • Instead of sitting and eating in an airport, like the rest of the population, you walk around until you can spot a power socket.”
Last night at Chicago Midway while waiting 2 hours for my flight, I walked around the terminal looking for a power outlet. There were two in the vicinty of the four gates I was close to. Two power outlets in the whole damned place… why? And they were on the wall, no chairs in sight. So, I stole a chair from behind an unoccupied gate desk, and proceeded to juice up my laptop while checking email.
Yes, I’m a geek.
Are you a geek? If you meet one of the criterian on the rest of her “You know you’re a geek when…” list, then you are.
That’s amusing, because I typed that entry as I was sitting in Chicago’s midway airport waiting for my connecting flight, on the dirty floor, next to one of the only two power sockets in sight.
(Accross from Starbucks in terminal B, I think)
Hi. If you travel, this is the site you want. FindMePower.com lists power outlets in airports.
