Time for a change...

Hello from the FRankfurt crew room..

Just got in this morning n i almost had a fit b4 the flight cos i only realised i did not bring my winter topcoat (which is kinda considered a no-go item like safety shoes n watever) like 5 mins b4 briefing started.

Would have usually not bothered n gone on with the flight but this was my first team flight n there was a checked trainer onboard (someone who like polices us).

2 panicky phonecalls to mommy at home n daddy on the way home from the airport having had just dropped me off, the problem was half settled when mommy helped to bring down my topcoat for F1 racer daddy to pick up at pitstop before coming back to airport again.

Note tt trip from airport to home n home to airport was at least 30 mins per leg. Without traffic.

it was 2224hrs, nearly 45 mins in the briefing liao n boss was still talking....
talking talking talking...

N my phone was vibrating away on 7 missed calls n i can't answer it.
it was daddy frantically trying to call me no doubt cos no waiting was allowed on the departure level.

Briefing finally ended after a gruelling 7 more mins n i dashed out to call daddy n to the departure level.
i felt so bad!!

The old man must be suffering a near cardiac arrest cos the traffic police was threatening to summon him, trying to get him to drive away cameras to take photo of him stopping there for more than god knows how long n he still STAYED PUT.

I so wanted to pepper his face with my kisses n hugs for being such a HERO, (my super dad!), if not for my stupid red lipstick.

I had THAT moment when i realised tt no one else in the world can beat The Parents.
Who never says 'no, can't do' to my requests.
No matter how ridiculous.
N with no conditions attached at all.

Sitting here, i suddenly had a recollection of when i was just 8 yrs old n in school n tot i had misplaced my precious Hello Kitty purse n called home crying from a 10 cent payphone.
Daddy suddenly appeared b4 recess time in his work attire n came to my classroom to pass it to me so tt i will have $$ to eat.
It didn't matter if he was in the middle of work, my wonderful parents never giam siap with me when it came to their time, as if it were the only thing they could offer me.

:_)

Okie, back to bitching so i won't get teary eyed n home sicky.


Stupid organisation i work for who penalises ppl with demerit points for forgetting to bring something like a winter topcoat which is part of uniform.

I'm so sick of being around other cabin crew members, some of whom r so plastic fantastic n pretentious. *shudder*

I recoil at some of the things they do n say to suck up to the superiors.

Boyfriend says maybe it's time for a change as i lamented tt this feeling have be recurring pretty often on recent flights...

Sigh...

Okie, time to go, someone else is waiting to use the pc n the only reason i'm here is to help Sponge locate her boy cos she has jus received the news tt she got 2 demerit points for going to work while still on MC.

WTF is wrong with The Company!??!?
She fainted 1 day after dinner n was brought to hospital by friends n doc gave her 2 day MC.
She was on ground for a german speaking course n missing class for 2 days would mean a recourse is required so she went back to class the 2nd day.
Then now kena 2 demerit points cos her explanation was not accepted JUST COS she WANTED to attend class.

Go also penalised, dun go also penalised...
It's the same thing as wat happened to me here.
Saying tt I'm working in a military organisation is an understatement.
We r not entitled to maternity leave, any MC days n they have the lousiest welfare ever.

Speaking to my 'team Police' today, i asked her bout how it all works...
N she replied tt we as crew should be keeping ourselves healthy, eat well, sleep well so tt we won't fall sick often.

WAT THE FUCK.

That means we r not supposed to have a life!
Cos staying healthy would mean sleeping watever time we have, eating tofu everyday n living life as in a monk or nun.
Even deities fall sick lor. Cheebywe.

I'm going back to room to blowdry my favourite furry sweater...
spilled mushroom cream sauce on it n my jeans n boots n scarf while carrying back my 'ta pao' just now n am extremely home sick n upset now cos i know mommy would have the perfect solution for the stain. ;(
