Great Words

I recieved some great words from my supervisor today and I want to share them, also once I lose the paper I want to be able to remember when I have a bad flight.

"Gabby smiled and said hello to every boarding passanger. This is a great way to set the tone for the flight. She  was also aware of customers that moved to the EE row and was quick to breif them on the responsibilies. Great awareness to saftey."

"It is obvious that Gabby excels at customer service. Weather she is boarding, performing service, or deplaning, she is constantly smiling and making eye contact. These things do so much to create repete customers"

"Gabby offers an overall great performance. Her customer service is exemplified by her smile, engagment and manners. Gabby is exaclty what we need in the cabin of our fleet."

It is nice to know that is how I am seen doing my job. And when he saw me it was the end of a long 4 day and I had to get up at 430am to do a flight befroe he even saw me. He said he couldnt tell that I was at the end of a 4 day and that I had gotten up so early. Lucky for me I knew he was down on the plane before i boarded and I pulled my hair up.

I have been flying a bunch getting my hours in which is nice. I like the extra money. Trying to save up for my France trip next year. Also trying to save for Jeremys birthday trip this year. Still waiting to get a Hawaii trip or an Anchorage trip. Hopefully soon! I am #13 for a 2 day tomorrow so I get an extra day off. I would rather be home but hopefully soon Jere and I will live in the same place and I can be home with him and the monsters on my days off.

Home

Right now I am loving this song.  my favorite lines is "Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me."

I dont regret at all being a flight attendant, I just miss Jeremy and the monsters so much.

Things You Should Know As A Passenger:

All the things I am listing have happened to me recently:

1. Keep your feet out of the aisle. I walk there, a lot, and I usually have a heavy cart and will run you over. Also if I am in a hurry or not looking I will trip. I am fine asking you one, but seriously 6 times in like 10 minutes? please stop trying to break me.
2. You are a big boy (you know 40+) flush the damn toilet after you pee! It is gross for me to walk in there and the bowl is open with foamy pee just waiting for me to flush. Gross.
3. If you are at a bulkhead put your shit up. We say it enough over the intercom I shouldn't have to come over and have you bitch at me for it when I ask you to put it up.
4. Do not get up while we are on the ground moving! Especially if it is something dumb like you want a new seat. You had 30+ minutes to realize who you were sitting next to. You get no sympathy from me.
5. Do not get up when we have stated to remain seated and then proceded to very loudly say "I have the runs" god TMI.
6. Do not ask me where we are. I am not a gps, if you ask me I will say "In the air" "Over clouds" or "In a plane" I dont have time to call the captain and ask for a play by play of where we are. Download flight tracker and track it while in the air.

I cant think of any others right now but Im sure Part 2 isnt far behind.

Update From 34,000 Feet.

No I am not working I am non-reving back to SLC for the night. Because work was dumb and wouldnt release me until late I cant make it to Boise tonight. So I am going to spend the night at the basement with my loves!
I am transferring back to Phoenix! My last day in Philly is the 20th. And that night I will fly home with my mom for a whole week and a little more. Still waiting what my schedule is in PHX but I hoping to get all the way to the 5th off. On the 28-30th Jeremy and I are going to San Fransisco! Love having free flights and we got a free hotel room!
I was on for 5 days and didnt get a single call. I have never just sat for 5 days on reserve! I have not been sleeping. I have been super depressed, just wanting to lay in bed and do nothing. And then when I want to sleep I cant. The only times I can really sleep are when I am at home or at my moms. Hopefully the move to PHX will make it better. Being closer to home. I dont think the depression will really go away until Jere and I can finally live in the same place, at the same time!

Trips Trips and then No trips!

I havent posted in forever. After base orientation I have been working like crazy! I worked 40 hours in 2 weeks. That's a lot of flying. I know normal people work 40 hours a week but thats not in the air! So far I have only overnighted in Tampa and Phoenix. Nothing special. A lot of OPR (on premise reserve) And a couple of one day trips.
I am loving it no matter what I am doing! This month I havent been flying to much an that sucks I want some killer over nights! Everyone else seems to get them but I dont. So lame. I dont even know If I will be called this weekend at all. Today I am number 59 to be called and tomorrow it will jump up to over 100. I want to be called so I can work Sunday morning so I can fly back to SLC early.
On Tuesday I had the day off so my mom and I went in to NYC and got to see a special preview at the MET of their new Punk gallery. It was so cool. I only got a couple pictures so Ill post them below.  Then we went to McGees, My favorite pub in NYC. It is the bar that McClarens is based after on How I Met Your Mother. The food is Delicious and drinks are cheap. Later that night we went and saw Cinderella on Broadway  It was good. The costume changes were amazing! Loved it!

                                                           Black Trash Bags

                                                            Grocery Bags

                                                        My favorite!

Finally "on-line"

I have finally made it to Philly. My little apartment is so cute! Everyone should come visit me! I love in a great little university city. Walking is super safe, I want to get a bike and start biking around.
Yesterday (the 18th) I had my orientation at base. We just went over scheduling and known crew member line, and showing us where the crew rooms are located. I bid for my May line, fingers crossed I get a good one. At 3 everyone's phones started ringing, people stated getting trips for today. My phone whent off at almost 4, and by then all the trips were covered and all that was left was OPR (on premise reserve). So I took that so they couldn't call me at 2 am for a flight.  My shift is noon to 4. So I am just sitting here. And ill probably be getting a call again at 3 for flights for tomorrow.

Week 4

I cant believe week 4 is over! I cant believe I have been here a full month. This time went so much faster then the 3 weeks at mesa. We got to wear our uniforms to class. They are ok, I am just excited for the new ones getting designed.
We had a half day on friday and got to go to the hanger. So much fun playing on the planes! My last thing to do is OE. Mine is tomorrow! So excited!
