Finally, he speaks!
I am still in training in Dallas, but have had my laptop with me this whole time. I've thought a couple of times of sitting down and writing here but haven't really had the opportunity. Things here are going well, albeit very boring. Today is day number seven, and I have two more left. Yesterday was our day off, and it was a much needed break from what has become the daily grind. The training is very boring since it is all information we already know, but since we are going to be flying TWA's airplanes, the FAA requires so many hours of training. They're trying to fill that time as best they can, but it is very boring and extrememly repetitive.
Tomorrrow is when things start to pick up since we begin competency checks and exams. This is where the game is stepped up, and we have the FAA present, watching our every move. We met TWA's FAA Cabin Safety Inspector today, a very nice woman who has over 20 years experience as a flight attendant. It's nice to know the person in the enforcement area has real world experience in the area in which she enforces.
I am sore as hell as we've played beach volleyball every night, but one, and play on average three to six games a night. The muscles in my butt, abs, calves and thighs are killing me. My feet, ankles, writst and forearms are killing me from contact with the ground and ball. We've had a great time playing and I've enjoyed the exercise. The night off was a night we spent in the hot tub, soaking those sore muscles. Tomorrow night will be spent doing the same. On Saturday, our last day, class begins at 6am, so it's gonna be an early one. No need to wear myself out the night before playing volley ball.
On my day off yesterday, Edie and I went to see "Bruce Almighty." Good, funny movie, but not the laugh out loud Jim Carrey-type movie. The movie actually had a plot and was "cute." Nothing profound. Also, we treated ourselves to a pedicure and manicure, something we both sorely needed. I talked to Beth tonight on the phone and she said she was giving herself a pedicure. I told her to pend the 25 bucks and treat herself on Saturday. Her reponse, "I'm too cheap.
In work news, I found out yesterday the company is expecting another round of layoffs in September. No word on how many, so we'll have to see how that goes. I should know my fate by the end of July.
I'll be back in Vegas Saturday afternoon and Beth's parents and uncle John (from Minneapolis) will be coming over for dinner. No idea yet on what I'm cooking. Figures it's the day I come home, and have been out of town for nine days.
