Such A Tease

All excited for my trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ready to get my fix of retail therapy then BAM! Rostering Changes....

With a bag full of clothing appropriately suited for 30deg weather guess who ends up in London with a maximum of 4deg. Well this is even to cold for the old bolt to the local shop to buy absolutely any jumper/jacket, just to get through the day! I was soooo spewing about this, i couldn’t even rest properly before the flight, as i was pumped for the new destination that i have been hanging to go to. My poor house mates hadn’t heard the end of it all day as i sang: Im off to K.L. repeated in my continuous morning voice which seemed not to go away??? Weird??? ha ha NOT – admittedly sounds horrible!!!

With no-where to go and nothing to wear and an attitude which was mighty p*****d off let me assure u, i basically had my little shower and went straight to Zzzzzz for a whopping 24hrs.... Damn i was even more tired than i had thought.

So i say: "Damn u roster changes for being such a tease!"

But that is the day in the life of a flight attendant. You also know your a flight attendant when:

• All of your pens have different hotel names on them
• You wake up and have to look at the hotel stationery to figure out where you are
• You are standing in an elevator in your hotel and cant remember what floor you're supposed to go to, or what your room number is
• When ur going out from the hotel on a layover u smile and greet people u meet in the lifts... and ur not even in uniform!
• You always point with two fingers
• You can recognize pilots by the backs of their heads-but not by their faces
• You know better NOT to date a pilot!
• You can tie a neck scarf 36 ways
• You own 2 sets of uniforms: fat and thin
• You know at least 25 uses for air sickness bags-none of which pertain to vomit
• You get a little too excited by certain types of ice
• You have mastered the art of walking very quickly down the aisle and not catching anyone's eye
• You stand at the front door and politely say "Buh-bye, thanks, have a nice day" when someone leaves your home
• You stop and inspect every fire extinguisher you pass, just to make sure the "gauge is in the green”
• Your thighs are covered in bruises from armrests and elbows
• You refer to cities by their airport codes
• Everytime the door bell rings you look up at the ceiling
• You change into you "galley shoes" to cook dinner at home!
• You open your bathroom doors at home slowly incase someone forgot to lock it
• Your at a friends party and you start wiping your hands on their curtains
• You call for the car doors to be armed and cross checked before pulling away
• You answer your phone by saying "Hi its ..... at "position"
• When you try and put the foot brake on your shopping cart
• When releasing your seatbelt in the car, you try to 'lift the top portion of the buckle and pull apart" and are confused when you can't find it
• You see rubbish dropped on the floor in your own home and instead of bending down to pick it up, you kick it under the sofa.
• When you've finished your dinner you throw the dirty plate in the cupboard and kick the door shut.
