It's Been Too Long...

I have no explanation as to why I haven't been posting. Sorry. All I can offer is that maybe Facebook has been taking all my time. After all, I need to know where my friends are and what they are doing!

* A captain on a recent flight boarded the plane at the same time as the preboarded passengers. He comes running out of the flight deck, looked around the galley, and then ran back into the flight deck. All the while he was yelling, "Where are my sunglasses? Where are my sunglasses?" I asked, "Are you looking for the ones that are on your neck backwards? Yup. He sure was. The passengers in the front of the It is aircraft heard and saw it all. There was a LOT of laughing, but then there were a lot of concerned passengers that maybe our pilot was, "out to lunch." I had to assure them that the captain was doing fine.

* It is not fun working a trip when the flight attendants don't work on the same team. This is the easiest job in the world, but I'm currently working with someone who is relatively new, but doesn't quite "get" what the job entails. We had to work together at the front of the plane today (a 320), and when she was swiping TVs, I approached her and asked her to take the bags of goldfish and animal crackers and hand them out to the passengers on her way back to the front of the plane. Normally, I would do it, but I did not have a list of all those passengers. Well, this flight attendant "freaked out" and responded that she just couldn't handle it all. So the aft flight attendant handed out the food to the aft of the airplane, while I took over the responsibility for the front. When I got back to the galley, she was tearing up and wiping her eyes. I could not believe it. Next, we started our beverage service, and decided to serve two rows at a time. I had rows 1 and 2, and she had rows 3 & 4. And guess what she did...she skipped row 3. Really? And when we were doing the 2nd beverage service, she stopped for a couple minutes...and I asked her where she'd stopped - she had no idea! When we were cleaning the plane before it went back to DCA, this flight attendant cleaned one-half the plane and then went up front and put her bags together. Since when did getting your bags ready to go supercede helping to clean the aircraft? I didn't realize that we each had our own "areas" and when we're done, we stop.  P.S. We don't. 

* Seeing as how I keep falling asleep while I'm typing, I think I'll go to bed. 4:45AM is going to come really early!
