Sara,

I hope you got an aisle seat on the plane. I also hope you have a pacifier for your baby (forgot the gender) Your baby's ears will HURT when the plane changes altitude. You can't tell a baby (very well) to yawn to relieve the pressure. Popping the pacifier into their mouth will have the same effect.

Or M&M's, but I think it's a little early for that. My mom let the soldier in the seat next to us use that for me when we had to travel from DC to LA when I was 18months.

I requested isle (flying coach this time) if shes sitting in the same spot she can get very upset and start crying so getting up and walking around the house helps instantly. I figure being able to get up and walk up and down the isle will help her.

Does anyone know if they have microwaves on the Delta's Boeing 737? I always have my "food" served hot in first class so Im assuming the answer is yes and they dont have it stored on heat packs. I wonder if they would let me use it to heat up bottles.

Seriously, there has been some racial remarks here and there. I used to let it go by because i didn't want drama but lately i've been setting them straight whenever a racial remark is made. I need my respect. People will only respect me if i'm bold and talk to their face.

Pretty sure if I picked up a rock, I could throw it across this whole town.
Haha, this town is so small. I want to work in city with rush hour traffic
(crazy i know), sky scrappers, young people, etc. That's why i go to NY every other weekend to hangout with friends.

Light work load. Overly paid. Bonus (and not just a couple hundred. My biggest bonus was 18k ((before taxes) Wear whatever you want as long as you look nice. Jeans on Friday, but as long as you wear designer jeans you can wear that on any day of the week. 15 paid vacation days plus 7 personal days. Gossip all day.
That's a pretty cool job. This job has some cool perks tool. I can come in whenever-whatever day i want. The only rule is that i must do 80hrs every 2 weeks. There's absolutely no dress code. Our Senior Director of RA and QA wears a damn short to work everyday even if there's 3ft of snow.

It's just boring AF, when i come in the morning, i ask, did anyone watch the game last night? They all look dazed, like they've never heard of NFL or MLB/NHL/NBA before. They don't go to movies, they don't know any modern song/artist, they dont know any trending news... these old geeks with their thick glasses are stuck in the 60s lol

They talk about taking the trolly to the candy store where they could buy 10 pieces of candy for 10 cents. Then they would talk about how they forget what they were talking about, and then it's likely they shit themselves without knowing, and then fall asleep mid sentence.

I know the feel. Sometimes, I'm not sure they realize how offensive and racist they are unless you point it out to them.

That's what they talk about, moon landing, Watergate scandal and their first computer only had 2KB ram.

To make things even more interesting, two of them hate kids. One has been married 30+ yrs but no kids. He told me that if he had a child, he will let the baby die because he can't be bothered to be awaken at 2am to feed a crying baby.

The other one, cut off his balls because the Women he was 'dating' (not married to) but the Woman he was dating told him she doesnt want kids, so he went in for a Vasectomy, she later left him and got married to another guy and has kids. So my co worker is here sad, depressed, single and ball-less

When you have to pee and/or shit REALLY bad and you finally make it to the public restroom door and it's LOCKED because someone is in there.

Oh that feeling just breaks my heart.


OR

when you're driving and the car behind you honks at the car in front of you and the car in front of you thinks you're an asshole for honking.

Yea that's honestly a dream for me right now to be able to leave at 3pm, that is until I find something I enjoy, in which case I wouldn't mind working a bit longer

I'm a tooling engineer, and I must work from whenever I go in, until whenever I decide to leave. It's bullshit. I go in late and leave early, then I write myself up, then I have to deal with Billup HR, and that guy is a real fucking dick trust me.

I left at 2pm today, because the internet was going slow and I had to poop.
