Living life in a metal tube

Hi everyone! so i got tired of telling my tales over and over so i decided to start a blog! ok so here it goes!

Life in the skies is GREAT! i love flying! i cant believe that i get paid to do it. here's how a life of flying works.... you bid on were you want to go...then (if your lucky enough) you get the "trips" that you want...ours range from 1 day trips to 5 day trips....once you have ur schedule for the month you hope that there are some good overnights that have enough time that you can actually enjoy the city your in. then its time for you to go to work...you met your crew (that you secretly hope are AWESOME because you'll have to do everything with them for the next few days) that you will be working with (most of the time for me i have never even seen them before i get to the gate) then you get to work..... you make sure there is no trash...put up tray tables...put down the seats...make sure the seat belts are perfect...all the emergency equipment is functional... you have drinks, ice... then you do the typical stuff that most people see.... boarding ... safety demo... beverage service...trash...u know what you know and love about a flight attendants job... trust me there is much much more behind the scenes work...you do this multiple times a day...usually three to four times...and if your lucky enough it will all be on the same plane... but sometimes you swap planes which cuts in to your eating and restroom breaks, you have to start all over as if it were the start of your day... then your done....after a long day of standing ( for me that means in 3+ inch heals) all you want to do is go to bed! but not so fast..... you have to wait on the shuttle for the hotel outside in the cold.... hopefully the hotel is not to far and that they are on top of their game and have already sent the van so u don't have to wait to long...then you check in..and go to bed...wake up...more than likely EARLY and do it all again....its great!

I'll over look the difficulty I had in reading your blog (mainly from the frequent grammatical errors that you seem to enjoy) and let you know how glad I am that you enjoy your job. I'll see you in a few days.
