Given the pre-boarders and I assume others that were flying through with the plane, I was 2 rows from being almost mid-plane before I could get a window seat.

Traveling sucks!
When I flew a lot, I always wanted a reserved seat, and I actually preferred the rear of the plane. Never flew on Southwest for that reason. And, when a flight attendant asked me to change seats, I would almost always refuse unless they moved me to first class. I think it is wrong to ask someone to move from a seat that they reserved in advance.
