you might be thinking.... so what she goes to these places all the time? or you might be thinking, such an easy job! just hand out a few cokes, then go lay on the beach all day. well shame on you! yes this was an amazing day on a secluded beach with just one little crab, but you need to know what i put up with first.
you see i've been with my company 7 years and have only been on a great layover a handful of times. so 7 years vs. maybe 25 hours! i've broken it down to help you understand better:7 years of:
- waking up at 2 or 3 am to go to work
- countless missed holidays
- being thrown up on
- cleaning up a 5 year old peeing in the galley
- being pushed in security by an old man
- having to tell countless americans what their citizenship is
- repeating the drink list countless times so that they can ask for something i don't have, like say a pina colada
- having to smell the lavatory when people have been sick all week in punta cana
- breaking up fights
- being blamed for the weather and the delay
- explaining what exactly it means to have the seat belt sign on
- telling people not to change their baby on the tray table, its unsanitary!
- having to ask people to take care of their children, its their job not mine.
- chasing after loose pets
- dealing with drunk people- kicking them off the plane, stop serving them or taking away the liquor they are trying to hide for me
- dealing with needy pilots
- listening to people complain that no one at their hotel spoke english... they were in mexico
- countless other things, but hopefully you understand
- secluded, beautiful beach
tell a story about chasing pets! that sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteahhh its a constant battle we have with passengers. we tell them repeatedly that they have to keep their pet carriers closed. this one woman on a night flight was sitting in the last row and i think she had a long haired chihuahua or something. she was playing dumb each time we told her to keep the carrier closed. eventually she fell asleep and the dog got out. the dog was wandering in the front galley when a flight attendant finally noticed him.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is beautiful and pretty all at the same time!
ReplyDeletethat's pretty gross that people change diapers on those tray tables.... i will think of that next time I put it down!
