Thursday night on my last flight of the day, a drunk woman gets on. Now, I did not sniff her out, nor did she scream or fall on me. Another lovely passenger told us she was drunk. So, I go after her in the aisle trying to get a whiff of some whiskey or something... NOPE, can't smell her, guess she was drinking vodka. Anyways, the number 1 (first class flight attendant) told me to go and see if I thought she was drunk. After talking to her, I call the number 1 from the back and say, "yes, she is toasted." I go back over to the drunk and decide that she is nice and would probably be no threat on the 43 minute flight, and maybe she is not drunk, she might just have a strange speech issue. I mean no offense, but we were going to Arkansas, here....
No dice, she was drunk the agent came on and took her off kicking and screaming. I just waved bye bye, and went to Arkansas! Lesson of this story, DO NOT GET DRUNK AND TRY TO GET ON A PLANE. IT IS AGAINST THE FAA REGULATIONS!

Bring Your Friend to Work Day

My last trip was Friday- Sunday with a (what turned into) 36 hour layover in Memphis. These layovers are normally not my favorite since I am alone in a strange city and can not do the stuff I need to do. I mean, if I am going to have a day off, I want to be at home!! This trip was different. My friend, Jenny, came along from DFW-MEM on Friday night, spent the 2 nights with me and then came back Sunday. It was so much fun to go down to Beale street and listen to music and enjoy the city. Jenny got to see what it was like being a flight attendant, too. She got to see a drunk man (he ordered red wine and vodka, and DRANK THEM TOGETHER) and then he began hitting on the other flight attendant! She got to experience standby flying, which might just be too nerve racking for her! ;) I told her that she should become a flight attendant. Probably airlines will start hiring around the time Keelan goes off to college????!?!!?

I was worried that she would laugh at me during the saftey demo, but since she was way in the back and I was way in the front, I think she couldn't see me! It made work so much fun having a friend come to work!

I have one question, and one question only. (This is amazing for me, if you know how I LOVE to ask questions!!!)

Who uses shower caps in hotels?
