What Do You Do? Stop Making Me Cringe!

I hate that question!! I hate it when someone asks me "What do you do?". I have a job. But it's not what I do. I have a what I do, I have a what I want to do, and I have a what I'm currently doing. In today's world where most people have a job that they do for a long time, but don't really want to do, can't afford college or get a job in their degree to do what they want to be doing, and with all the layoffs, have a job that they can't wait to get out of, a better question is, "What are you currently stuck doing?".

USA Today Breaks the News to Us

Yesterday USA Today reported the failing economy and job loss leads to mental stress. DUH!! Thanks for stating the obvious! We could have all written that story!

Top 10 Reasons to be a Flight Attendant.

Even though what I'm saying is true, it's meant to be humourous, think 'David Letterman Top 10' when you read it.

Number 10:
Learn New Languages - I can now shop at Wal-Mart with ease in Brooklyn, Alabama and Texas.

Number 9:
Great Volunteer Opportunity - You can work 12 hour days but only get paid for 6.

Number 8:
Save Money on Gas - Your social life consists of email, texts and instant messaging.

Number 7:
You Read More - Constantly getting text massages that read "We miss U wish U were here Biff says hi!"

Number 6:
Make New Friends Everyday - Your close friends have given up on ever seeing you again and replaced you with a blow up doll named Biff.

Number 5:
You Meet Celebrities - A.K.A people with jobs that don't suck.

Number 4:
New Ways of Earning Money - I'm thinking Colombian Drug Lord sounds appealing, better pay and I can set my own hours.

Number 3:
Minty Fresh Breath - You can no longer afford alcohol so you take a keen interest in mouthwash.

Number 2:
You Miss Every Get Together - Now you can use the money you would have spent on more mouthwash.

and the Number 1 reason for being a Flight Attendant:
Weight Loss - You can't afford food, but who needs to eat when you've always got the flu anyhow!

Freeway Distraction!

I can't find an online photo of the current A&F Billboard where Interstate 80 turns into 101 South, but, regardless, they're all pretty much the same. Now, I'm not complaining mind you, I'm just wondering, with personal experience, should these things be on freeway billboards? They're a bit distracting to us drivers!!!

The Economy IS Making Me Sick

I just read an article in Jan/Feb 09 Details magazine entitled, "Is The Economy Making You Sick?". Well, actually, yes, yes it is, literally! Since the economy has forced me into the poverty stricken world of being a flight attendant, I have had the flu three times and have had a nasty cold that I can't shake for the past 8 days. This is all in a 6 week period!

Welcome 2009

Here's to a better year than last year on the job front! On Economy! On the state of our country!
