Kneed my help?
At night we're supposed to have the lights turned off. So while I was doing my beverage service, I hit the knee of some man whose knee was way out in the aisle. He had told me that he had jsut gotten surgery on it from having it crushed by a tree. I felt so bad for the rest of the flight, but he knew I didn't intentionally do it. After that, everytime I came near, he tucked his knee in to avoid me. Kneed my help, sir?
Broke da plane
My jumpseat actually broke. It wouldn't retract up because some sppring broke. I think it is actually a grounding item because one of the exits would be obstructed. I don't think it should be too bad unless the airplane is full in the morning and one passenger has to get bumped off.

Surfing and Talking in the Sky
Tonight I had no passengers going out of Fresno because the 4 of them I was supposed to have were moved up to an earlier flight. So I sat in the back until it was time to take off and I called up a friend to see how long I could sustain a connection to him while taking off in the airplane. I then got the idea of surfing the plane up into the sky so I got up right as we got to the main runway. I had to lean so far forward and concentrate on the phone call. My friend on the phone was laughing so hard and told me he would do the exact same thing in my position. I think he actually has done that when he had empty flights. It's pretty fun. I lost contact with him on the way up, but I looked down at my phone and saw that I had 3 out of 4 bars on my reception. I tried to call him back, but that fool was busy. I think I might bet into trouble if someone finds out I did that.

PayDay=eBay
I got a little eBay happy earlier today. I did a couple of "Buy It Nows" then saw auctions where it looked like i could get the same things cheaper. I got a couple of old toys, some airplanes, and some other stuff. I love paydya and I love ebay. Now I'm wondering if Iw ill heave enough to get me through the next 2 weeks.

Getting Sick again
Just when I got over the flu, another sickness seems to have come my way. I believe that I have just caught a cold. I did learn my lesson with catching the flu. since then I have used latex gloves, anti-bacterial hand wash, and hand wipes like crazy. But apparently my fight didn't work and I have this cold.
Airline
There's a new reality show that debuted tonight on A&E. It's a show called Airline, which stars Southwest Airlines. It's pretty funny and shows the reality of what we go through in the airline business. I forsee this show as becoming really popular and giving the A&E network a boost in their ratings.

hanging out with flight attendants
I ended work a little early today and figured that it would be a waste of time to drive home and back here with only 14 hours between shifts so I stayed in Fresno. I called another flight attendant to see what she was doing. She invited me out to hang out with more flight attendants and to have dinner at another flight attendant's place. It took hella long to get dinner ready. We went to the store to go get some food. Then it took hella long to get everything cooked. It was about 10:00pm when we were ready to eat. By that time I was ready to sleep cause I have a 4:48am show time in the morning. Good thing I took a nap earlier.
Sleeping in the Car (comfortable this time)
I will be sleeping in my car in a bit, but I did have a preview earlier when I took a nap. I was pretty comfortable. I usually sleep with my head in the trunk and the rest of my body in the car. But I tried sleeping in the back seat (as cramped as it is), and it was rather comfortable. I was pretty warm also. It was pretty darn cold outside. I have a sleeping bag, 3 blankets, and tond of pillows. I jsut need to sleep for the next 5 hours and I will be all set.
