September 1st

I have to be in Charlotte by September 1st. So just a little more than a month left here. Now I've really got to get to work on getting ready to move.

Now the waiting begins

I have put in for the tranfer to Charlotte. So now the waiting to see when I go begins. I'm excitied and hope to find out soon. Last time I put in for a transfer when I came to Phoenix I knew within a couple of days.
So due to my back injury I had on Friday I'm out of work for the week. But the weekend was fun. I went up to Reno to see my friend Sarah. It had been almost two years since I've seen her and her family. Hopefully next time it's not such a long gap. I had a great time and am so thankful for their friendship.

Accident Prone

I hate being such a kults! Last night we were taxing out to the runway to go to Omaha. I was the front flight attendant so I was doing the safety demos. I have to show them in row one and ten. I had just done the oxygen mask in row ten and turned to go back to the front when my left foot got caught in a bag strap and down I went. I landed pretty hard. I'm okay but we had to return to the gate and replace me cause I'm pretty banged up. I'm doing better today then I was last night, I'm just really sore.

Work

In the last couple weeks work has been hectic and stressful. Most of our planes are broken so everything is either cancelled or delayed badly. It's crazy. So I'm either really late or stuck somewhere.
Yesterday for example I was to report to work at noon, but around nine thirty my company called to tell me the flight had been dropped. So I then showed up at the airport at seven thirty and was cancelled and then told to come back at ten. Then that was cancelled and was on call until midnight in which I was not used. So I was on duty for about four and a half hours and was paid nothing.
For those who don't know, I only get paid if I fly. So from when the main cabin door shuts and when it opens is when I get paid. So all the time I'm sitting around not doing anything, boarding, deplaning or whatever I'm not being paid. I can put in a 14hour duty day but if I for only an hour all I get paid for is that hour.
The pay sucks but it's a fun job and I still it enjoy it and looking forward to what it holds for me in Charlotte.

Celeb #5

Tonight from Aberquce NM to Phoenix I had Scarlett Johansson on my flight. She was real nice and curtious. And had a good sense of humor too.

Bored

I didn't well last night and had to wake at the break of dawn this morning for work. I'm in Tucson on day 4 of a 4 day, so it's my last day this week. Anyway we get to the airport and are told that the plane is down, so we wait a while then return to the hotel, which is where I still am now. I'm tried and would love to go back to bed, but don't know what all is going on with the plane and when we are going to get to leave, so am afraid of falling asleep.
Dad just called to let me know that he has landed in Phoenix. I told him to call his brother or sister that live in Mesa, cause I have no idea when I'll get there. I wish I could just rent a car and drive back up to Phoenix. It's only about a two hour drive so not bad.
I'm bored out of my mind. I need something to do! I'm going crazy with boredem!

Good News

I love good news!

About the transfer

I've decided to put in for the transfer to Charlotte in July. That way I have a liitle more time to tie up loose ends here in Phoenix. So hopefully in October I'll make the move. I'm excited about my desicion and can't wait to go. It's time.
On a sad note about two weeks ago my uncle Mac passed away. He was actually my dad's uncle so my great uncle but I called him my uncle. He was in his 90s, lived a good life and he had a stroke about 11 years ago and just hasn't been the same. But still it's never easy to hear about someone whom you love and care about is no longer around.

Celeb #4

Today I had my 4th celeb or famous person. On my flight to Des Moines this morning I had former football player Kurt Warner on the plane. Knowing my brother Lincoln was a hugh football fan I asked Kurt if he would give me an autograph for him. He did that's what this picture is. He was a really nice guy as well so it was a good experience.

Made a Decison

I've been thinking for a long time that I needed something else in life. I didn't know what, and still have a long way to go to figre every thing out. But last night I made a decison in that direction. I don't know when for sure but before the year's end I'm putting in for a transfer to Charlotte. So sometime probably within the next few months I'll be moving back to the east coast. I'm excited and torn about it. I've always said that Charlotte was my jinx and could never be based there. Then again I also said I'd never be based in Phoenix and Dulles was at first my last choice. So to be honest to begin with I have never been that excited about any base I've been at.
I just don't see myself here in Phoenix much longer. I'm excited to start a new chapter in life in Charlotte. I love the east coast and the south, so I'm going to an area that I already know I love.
My senoirity has dropped 14 places in a month here in Phoenix. This month I was 120 next month I'm 134. In Charlotte I'd be number 88 in the base. So in a way it's moving up the ladder. Also in some ways I wish I was going to Charlotte now.
I don't feel like I'm making a wrong decision. I feel good about it and feel it's something I need to do.
I went to the doctor today to see about my ankle, which I still don't know yet. Anyway this morning I woke up with a sore throat, which sucks cause it's not fun being sick and I was suppose to work tomorrow. Anyway the doctor didn't like the looks of my thorat was tested for strep, which it's not thank heavens. But I was running a 100* tempature so I'm off work for the week. I'd rather be working. But maybe it will give me some time to start to get things ready to move.
