All I Ever Needed to Know....

I had the most educating trip last weekend. The first life lesson I picked up was this:
When you step on an airplane (or anywhere, I'll bet) and your coworker tells you, "I am the most laid back flight attendant you will ever work with." Well, he/she is simply not telling the truth. The most laid back flight attendant doesn't have to tell you!

Next, and probably more important... is don't throw down an attitude and think you will get your way. I mean pooh said it best, "you catch more flies with honey." At least I think it was Pooh. I encounted THE BIGGEST JERK OF A MAN (and his bitchy wife) on the way to Seattle. I have a feeling BJ is going to write a mean letter about his experience, and all I can respond is this. I wish I could write a letter about HIM!

I also met a very nice lady, that I talked with for an hour on the way to SEA. Everyone else was asleep... NL was sitting next to BJ. Poor Nice Lady, she probably wanted to move, but there were no open seats.

The last lesson, and I try hard not to be judgemental about this, but grown adults should shower everyday, and wear antipersperant. I know some cultures might differ, some folks might just not want to mess with it, but if you are going on a 4+ hour ride on an airplane in the summer... For the love of God, shower first! BO is not really a big problem. By big I mean widespread, but when it is onboard, everyone knows!

Well, I know I learned a few things. I must admit I was pretty nice to BJ, but if I could meet him in a dark galley... I mean alley...... :)
