I only have a few magazines cut out. I have a long way to go to finish this project. I think agree with you on the kidnapping thing. I have to find something interesting to do with these words though. I'll update when I figure something out. Yeah, those are some of them. I only have a few magazines cut out.

I used to do that, but I cut out cute words and phrases and things to stick all over my wardrobes in my room. I did it one summer, and then took it down about a month later because it was making my room feel dark! Kidnapping sounds a little too risky, try something a little less illegal for your next hobby!

]]> Comment on On being a flight attendant: the best and the worst by skywaitress http://skywaitress.com/2010/02/on-being-a-flight-attendant-the-best-and-the-worst/comment-page-1/#comment-317 skywaitress Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:10:43 +0000 http://skywaitress.com/?p=1923#comment-317 Yeah it depends. I'm sure every airline has their own rules about when a flight attendant is provided a meal or what you're allowed to eat on board. I know on my airline, if I work a certain number of hours and don't have at least two hours at any airport, a meal is provided for me. It gets tricky when I don't work quite enough hours in a day or something else unexpected comes up. If there are extra first class meals then the flight attendants can split those but sometimes everyone in first class eats so there's nothing left over. The easiest way to make sure you always have food is to bring your own with you. Then you know it's there and you don't have to worry about it. That takes planning ahead though and I'm really bad at that, haha. Yeah it depends.

I knew about the sleep-unfriendly hours, but I didn't know that you sometimes couldn't eat on the flight. Is that when you are doing short flights, maybe one or two hour long flights continually for a whole day, when the planes don't generally have a lot of food for the passengers either?

]]> Comment on The one where I run the risk of coming off as a huge bitch by Stacy Anderson http://skywaitress.com/2010/02/the-one-where-i-run-the-risk-of-coming-off-as-a-huge-bitch/comment-page-1/#comment-307 Stacy Anderson Sat, 20 Feb 2010 01:28:09 +0000 http://skywaitress.com/?p=1974#comment-307 There was an airline that had bigger seats. Republic bought them and now they exist in name alone, and soon that will be gone too. RIP Midwest. Anyway, I think as long as FAs on power trips are given the ability to make "judgment calls" to pull people off flights based on their appearance, there will be problems. Period. I'm flying tomorrow. I will do as I always do: smile and say please and thank you to every FA I encounter. I will not push the call button (pushing the call button is like sending back food that was prepared incorrectly--and I've seen the movie "Waiting") I will follow all crew instructions to the letter--my phone goes off when the door is shut, I verbally agree to assist passengers in case of an emergency since I'm always in the exit row, I will not ask a crewperson to lift my bag into the overhead compartment, and I will place my other bag fully under the seat in front of me. I will keep my seatbelt fastened when seated, and if I get cold, I will make sure it is on the outside of my jacket so you can see it. I will put my seatback and traytables where they belong upon landing, and turn my phone off as well. I will be lucky if they don't kick me off my flight or "write me up" so I'm on some sort of "Do Not Fly" list for fitting in my seat, wearing appropriate clothing, not being drunk, not having a baby that cries and for not ordering orange juice.
