Extract from the inflight magazine 'American Way' on an American Airlines flight between Cancun and Miami...
'Lessons in the Language of Love' by Jim Shahin...

'So, valentine's day is in the air. The language of AMORE (Chinese for "love") is in the air. Do I grasp the grammar of amore?'
What??!! Chinese?! Amore?

The hardest thing out of: booking you hols, getting Annual Leave, getting there, building up a proper tan, chasing your travel insurance because they stole your phone, coming back home, doing the washing, sorting out the pictures on facebook IS....
- going back to work.
Today, for about 9 hours, I found myself sitting there staring at the invisible sea and seahorses waving at me from across the room.
Could not concentrate on the screen. Or the colleagues. Or the pax.
no no no.
It's the sun, the sky above me, the noise of the sea outside the terminal, the sand in my blue shoes.
It's the stars all over the ceiling, the coconut sellers along the desks, people with surfboards, and sun lotion in their handbaga, and a hat. I need a hat because I burnt my nose -again.
It's the smell of freedom, the need of walking on the shore.
that's it. I think i need to go again.

you sweat, you dribble, you give your precious minutes to them, you challenge the screen, you ask the whole department for info (including cleaning Eastern european team and cab drivers outside), you calculate and recalculate an upgrade from Q to K in neverendin FQPs and FQDs...
result? if you on the phone... thanks and they are gone, forever...

Finally, after 4 weeks of pain and creams and drops and colourful 'tears' I can see again.
And, amazingly, I now know what it was, confirmed by a specialized doctor at the hospital: The Ugliness of the Pax.
It's their fault, they're all ugly!! A WHOLE month at the desk without seeing a goodlooking fellow. Hello???!! Are we crazy or what!
I am starting a new incentive for recruiting new Arrogant Plus customers: 10.000 miles bonus if guy (yep. sexual discrimination. bring it on) is gorgeous and charming. Another 10.000 if hot date is spontaneously offered.
Deal or no deal?

a man all stressed out comes to the desk at throws his shiny FF card at me..
"I am member of your Arrogant Plus frequent flyer program and I want to fly on the earlier flight"
"Sir, I am sorry, the 5 o clock flight is full for the specific fare you purchased (..b class)"
"What????!!! My colleague is an Arrogant Minus frequent flyer and got a seat a 5 o'clock!!!"
"Sir, the flexibility of the tickets doesn't depend on the Arrogant Plus card, but on the type of ticket you purchased..."
"Ok then (very arrogantly upset) next time I'll fly Arrogant airways then!!!!"
FFoff then!

My definition of UNI-FORM: one form, one thing. From latin 'one' and then form. To have one form, one 'way' for everybody wearing it. Everybody looks the same. Apparently.
You can feel part of one entity and, as such, you are not an individual anymore, you adjust to the one organization you represent, their values and their standards. It helps to cover up your feelings, the sadness, the happiness. It justifies your choices, your answers, the colour of your clothes.
So WHY WHY WHY MY company has to make it soooooo bloody complicated??????
Already, 4 months to get it. Come on! Get a grip.
Then it arrives in a huge cargo box and it's made up of around 25 pieces that you CANNOT and I repeat CANNOT mix and match as you please. You need to follow the MANUAL that comes with it, which explains you how to jigsaw-puzzled it together!!!!!!!
it's mental.
i know.
Quote of the day: why making things easy when you can actually have them deliciously complicated?
