Well, well...how goes it. I guess I'm alive...but barely. OK..not really that bad...just sore as hell.
Started the new job with Anonymous Airways last week. I like it for the most part, but staying really late to finish up stuff that isn't really part of my job description has kinda got me irked. Hopefully, that will change soon...or they'll at least give us a little extra help on that night shift. The overtime pay will be nice...but the lack of sleep is making me a cranky boy. Putting in almost 50 hrs in 4 days will knock you on your ass.
Other than that...I've been enjoying the job. They haven't even bothered putting me inside at the ticket counter or gates. It's just been straight nothing but working the ramp. It's pretty damn easy, it's outside, and it's a little physical. I lost something close to 5 lbs. this week just working...and who knows what I could lose if I weren't living on a steady diet of chips from the breakroom vending machine and McDonalds up on the concourse. Damn terminal needs a Subway.
But yeah, the job is fun...but let me say a couple of things I request of those of you who travel on any airline.
1.) Please pack less than 70 lbs of crap in your suitcase. Sometimes the ticket counter people forget to put a "HEAVY" tag on these and we wind up straining ourselves when we don't know what we're lifting.
2.) The flight attendants come through the aircraft at least 3 times per flight to collect trash. Please use this time to throw away your goddamned trash and do not put your trash in the magazine seat pocket in front of you. This is disgusting and a pain in the ass for whoever may have to clean the aircraft.
3.) When traveling with small children, please don't let them spend the entire flight crushing and throwing cookies, pretzels, gum, etc. on the floor.
That's all for now as far as complaining about passengers.
Anyway, I guess I should backtrack and say...Atlanta sucks. The people there that I hung out with were cool....but in general...the people in ATL sucks. Rude ass people with serious attitude problems. Oh well, screw'em. I don't have to go back anytime soon unless I get some kind of promotion or something. Not counting on that happening.
North Texas basketball last night...another tough loss. This season's team had the talent...unfortunately, they lacked the personal discipline to do anything with it. Hopefully, they'll get their shit together before next weeks conference tourney.
Hit Fry St. last night...good times all around. Tavern had $2.50 blasters...that should tell you enough. Somewhere between the game and total drunkeness I decided it was a good idea to rip on Mo for the way she's been a total bitch about how she's handled what was a pretty good friendship... but I'll save that for tomorrow...The Big Mo Rant...you know you can't wait!
Right now, I've gotta finish doing some laundry, find food, and get my stuff together for work...I love toting around steel toes, knee pads, and earplugs everywhere I go.
