Effort,it's a good thing

On most days it's the battle of parting with the carry on due to full over head space.  Today was different, way different.  A guy walks on the plane and looks at me and just says his bag won't fit.  I looked at it and said well let's give it a try. He stands in the aisle and just says no over and over. I asked him if he could remove something from the bag. He said well yeah.  Then came the weird silence he just kept looking at me and said well I'm going to check it and pick it up plane side. First off my plane may say express on it but we do not gate check backs for pick up, if it's checked it's going to baggage claim. I explained that one to him and he still told me he was going to pick it up plane side. This guy wasn't getting it, at all! The flight load was very light and there was no reason to be checking bags. So he takes his laptop out the bag and fits it fine into the overhead bin. Then tells me what a inconvenience it was.  Usually it's the other way around. I just smiled and told him that I had saved him a trip to baggage claim when he gets to his finial destination. Ugh your welcome jackass!  

On the other hand I have been putting forth some effort as far as my diet goes.  I decided to go on weight watchers to prepare for my wedding next year.  I started on January 12th of this year and as of today I have lost 11 pounds.  This diet is probably the best for any flight crew member or anyone that does traveling for a living.  It works because you can eat anything!  I am actually really enjoying it and I cannot wait to hit my goal weight.  

I am also putting forth some effort to get better.  Thanks to being around passengers full of bull shit and germs I've been exposed to a nasty bug.  I did go to work today because I thought I was getting over it but as the day went on my voice started to get weaker and weaker.  So now I'm writing this blog sipping hot tea and hoping my voice comes back soon.  I have 4 days off so I'll be spending most of my time in bed and working my other job.  Have a sassy week everyone
