Today's rant: Tpdau's rant

I got a new laptop for Christmas.  However, the keys are shifted to the left because there is a number pad on the keyboard.  Occasionally, words that I type will be shifted one key over.  Hence, "Today" becomes "Tpdau."

I finished watching "Suits".  I have identified recurring themes throughout all 9 seasons.

  1. "I don't care what I said!"
  2. I can count on 1 hand how many actual job interviews there were throughout the show, despite the fact that people were being hired all the time without having an interview.  Most of the time, someone was just handed a job out of nepotism or someone who wanted a job or promotion used blackmail to get it.
  3. "I know what I have to do."  (other person stares in amazement, cut to commercial)
  4. People off-screen not picking up their phone and the person making the call on-screen complaining into a voicemail about how many times they called.
  5. “If we can’t blah blah blah, what are we doing here?”
8 years ago, I wrote a rant about flying to Asia for work.  Back then, I flew to Korea.  This time, I'm going to Singapore with a layover in Korea.  Going there, it's 12 hours to get to Korea and another 6 to get to Singapore.  It's 2 hours less coming back because of the wind direction.  This will be the farthest I've ever travelled for anything.  I don't think I will have a ton of touristy time in Singapore, but I'd like to visit the food markets and find Michelin starred street food that I have heard about.  It's going to be kinda weird when I get there because my flight arrives at 5am but I cannot check into my hotel until 3pm.  I figure it will take me about an hour to get off the plane, get my bag, and go through customs.  That leaves 9 hours before I can check in to my hotel room.  What am I supposed to do while lugging around a backpack and my checked bag for 9 hours in Singapore?
