Ugh. Flying eastwards overnight is

Ugh. Flying eastwards overnight is such a bad experience - no sleep, no night, and caffeine doesn't fix it. If the travel experience were in any way acceptable I wouldn't mind so much, but this time was really bad: two-hour checkin queues, overcrowding at the gate, sardine-packed economy class seating, seats stuck in the middle of a row, obnoxious nerd in front who sets his seat right back for the whole journey, obnoxious people behind who leave their overhead light on the whole time; and the wrong meal. Awful. So today I'm not feeling particularly effective.
