Let's talk about my job, shall we...?

I'm working at the airport since February of this year. And I have a love-hate relationship with it. I was a frustrated pre-med student. I have a dead cat named, Paula and I ditched that course and took Tourism instead. It took me three years to finish that degree and I must say, no-brainer. LOL. I kid you not, it's easier to memorize the capitals of other countries than to memorize the anatomy of my neighbor's pet turtle. (yes, they have one.) 

Well, anyway. my job is simple, you go on time. Make sure the passengers get into their flight on time, that's basically it. i work in the ticket office so less hassle. except when we have delayed flights. We're not allowed to go home until the last plane goes airborne. :( Since it's all about office work, we take calls, make sure the every paper is in the right folder/file/drawer/box/. We make sure our supervisors are happy. so yeah. It's fun and at the same time exhausting. We get to meet different kinds of passengers as well, we have the MPOs (frequent flyers), the smart ones, the first timers, yung mga sabaw, the maasims, basically every one. 

here's one conversation with a passenger. 

Lady: (comes forward with her ticket on hand) 

Me: sige ma'am... ano pong gagawin natin?

Lady: Ma'am magpapa-stewardess po ako. 

Me: (stuck up) huh? magpapa-stewardess po? 

Lady: opo. 

Me: (stuck up parin) baka po gusto niyong magpa-STANDBY LIST. 

Lady: hindi po. STEW-WAR-DESS po. 

Me: (really confused) 

it went on and on. only to realized that she need a ground steward to assist her for her flight. She's a young passenger travelling alone. :/

so that's a day in the office I guess. 

FINALLY.

I get to have my 2 days rest after all the stress I went through because of the hurricane.

Our flights to New York got cancelled because of Irene. Good thing they put up a special flight for those people who got stranded. Every one's itching to get back because school starts on September. I'm glad every one will get back to their homes safe and sound.

God i'm so tired. That's why i'm gulping on this Tanduay Ice I got from the convenience store near my house. ahhhhhhhhh. so good! =)

Okay. I'm going now. =) 

6,18

I'm here at the office. Thinking if I should be eating this ham and egg sandwich on my worktable.

I know I can't 'cause we're not alllowed to do it here. It's early in the morning and I still need sleep. Slept really late last night like around 1am. my work is at 6. Travel from my house to work is roughly 40 minutes. ugh. I feel so sleepy.

I miss my bed, my Hello Kitty pillow. (i should be eating right now) i don't feel so good. I think i'm getting a heart burn. Its too quiet all I hear is the sound of the printers and the big cooling thing in front of me. I'm waiting for something amazing to happen. like a day with no passengers. I hope no one goes here. I hope everything will be just fine. No offloaded, no expired tickets. everything going very smoothly.

I wish I can take the next flight to HKG and then SFO. I hope I don't have problems paying for it. I wish money is not the issue here. I hope that's easy. But its not.

*i wish I was filthy rich*

-this is me really bored.

On Career.

okay.

let me ramble about my job this time.

i work 5 days a week. 10 hours a day. We have 3 kinds of shift at work. i prefer the PM shift 'cause I get more time to sleep. I have 2 days of restday. enough for me to sleep and eat like a pig. Oh btw, I work at the airport. you know, those people you see there in uniforms. yes, i'm one of them.
