So Happy…

June is my first official month as a flight attendant. (During the month of May I was not required to work, but for June, I have to work).

So far…I love it!

I realize that there’s probably a bit of honeymooning going on right now, so it won’t stay this fresh and great forever. Buuuuut so far, the job has been fun and easy, the layovers have been fun and relaxing, and my crews have been kind and helpful.

Right now I’m on reserve, which means that I’m on-call for the airline. On the days that I’m on-call, they can call me any time between 12am-2pm and tell me to get to the airport for a flight. So far, they haven’t done that. (Though I am waking up several times per night and checking my phone, afraid that I’ve missed a call!) I am allowed to look for trips during the days I’m on-call and self-assign. Thus far, I’ve been on-call for 5 days. For three of them I self-assigned a trip and for two of them, I didn’t work. I’ve loved both. I like working and seeing new people and new places. I like being home and being in the rhythm of family life. At my old job, I rarely got to do school drop-off or pick-up. I worked out every day in the dark because I had to be to work by 7:30am. Do you know how great it feels to exercise when it’s light out? It’s amazing!

So far, so good with the life transition! I’m very happy!
