The Voice In My Head, Part 1
Filed under: Life's Journey
On the last flight of my multi-city trip last week, I shared it with Michael, a colleague I work with at Foursquare. It was a late-night flight from Cincinnati to Los Angeles. Traveling west, we would be getting more time and more tired with each passing hour.
Our seats were not booked together. I scored a bulkhead exit row right by the entrance to the plane. No seats in front of me. I could be the first one on and off. Nice.
I was in boarding group one because when you sit in a bulkhead, they want you on first to find a place for your bag. Michael was in group nine. His seat was five rows back. He walked by me as he boarded the plane and jeered at my location.
I was on the phone with Jamaica sharing the excitement about my seat assignment.
"Where is Michael sitting," asked my darling wife.
"A few rows back. He's got an aisle, he's fine."
"You should trade seats with him."
"I'm not trading seats. Besides, he's already got his bags stowed."
"You should give him your seat. You know that is the right thing to do."
After a few minutes of thanking God for my wonderfully supportive wife, I got Michael's attention and offered up my seat. "No thanks," he said, "I'll be fine." I insisted. Twice.
Ten minutes later we were both sitting in the same exit row. No one had checked in for the seats in my row. It was now our row.
I need to pay attention to the Voice.
