Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I imagine manual (or whatever) inflation on a plane cramped enough that you need the pillow would be really irritating to yourself and your neighbours.

I can't sleep upright. Even with the seats reclined, I need to lean against something on the side too. BA flights to Kenya rocked because their headrests curve around your head. Other than that, that's why I always get the window seat.

Sometimes I can sleep by flopping forward on the tray. But it's nowhere near guaranteed.

I totally need a window seat on a plane. Because even with a pillow I get a terrible crick in my neck if I'm sitting upright. I need to lean sideways, damnit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Me too. I have a couple of neck-pillows, but they're not quite right. Too thick in back, not enough on the sides.

I can't sleep on planes, and I hate all of you who can.

So any credit I might have gotten for being industrious enough to take work home is completely negated by the fact that I forgot to copy the document back to my computer this morning. AUGH.

Drugs are your friend. When Dramamine came out with the non-drowsy version, you could hear me snarling across three counties "But it wasn't a bug, it was a FEATURE!"

They had that on my ATA flight from DC last week - I've never encountered it before. But yeah, window and pillow. Plus, it's easier to ignore the rest of humanity from the window seat.

I'm perfectly willing to abuse prescription drugs if sleeping on planes is the result. I often can't read, and apart from BA's wide choice of channels, most flights haven't had decent in-flight entertainment.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Thanks, sumi!!

Let the record show that, for the first time in 6 years, the Red Sox won their Opening Day game.

Apocalyptic conjuration may now commence.

How can people get to Monday without noticing the time change? I'd love to have Sundays that divorced from the world...but I never have.

Yet, someone at work was late because she didn't notice the time change.
