Ok as I stated in my last post, I do love my job, right? I was asking me! Ok so I do love it, but there are some challenges that keep me in that state of mind. The main one being weather. The second being passengers, but I guess you have to have them. Although I would love to fly for FEDEX or someone like that. Boxes do not talk back! Anyway, back to the weather. I started a trip on Saturday and that is also when the weather started. All 4 days of the trip had weather related delays and it just really sucked. It would have been better if I had an easier trip to begin with but the trip itself sucked even before the weather. The weather just made it worse. The only reason I did this trip was because it had an overnight in Phoenix. Well my very good friend Kenn lives there and I wanted to hang out with him for a bit so that is why I had wanted to do this sucky trip to begin with. Phoenix overnights are hard to get so the only way to get it was to do the sucky trip. Because of the weather the Phoenix overnight was in jeopardy to start with or it was going to be severely shortened. Well I did finally get to Phoenix and was only an hour late so the first day was not so bad.
Kenn of course lives all the way on the other side of Phoenix, but made the drive over to visit for a while. I call him my longest friend because he is one of the few people that I have stayed in contact with from the military. He is the person that I have known the longest that I stay in regular contact with. Meaning we are friends so hence ...My longest Friend! Plus I want to marry him. Or not him but someone like him. He is funny, smart, good looking (tall, dark, and handsome). I don't think I am his type because I see him with some drop dead gorgeous supermodel or something and lets face it, that is not me!! But he is someone that I could tell anything to and vice versa. We have known each other for about 13 years but have only become true friends in the last 4 or 5 years. I have only seen him 4 times over that time. But still we remain friends.
I rank him up there with Lisa Jo, Jules, Lisa Mo, and Treena. Meaning, I do not get to see all of these people very often and we don't even get to talk that often but they are all the type of friends that you don't have to see or talk to all the time to know that you are friends and will always be friends. I have moved away from all of them and yes it was upsetting but I know that I will see them all again and that we will be like we were never apart! It is unconditional!
Here is the thing, I don't have any friends here. I don't anybody and that's ok. I have never been one to have a lot of friends. I have learned that friends won't stab you in the back but acquaintances will. So I have a lot of acquaintances but there are only a few people that I call a true FRIEND!
Anyway, back to Kenn. He got to the hotel and we went and sat in the bar and had a beer and caught up. Of course by the time we decided that we wanted food the kitchen had closed. So we went down the street to Applebee's and had some food some beer and some laughs and then he took me back to the hotel and we hit some golf balls in the parking lot (not towards anything). And that's it. But it was a lot of fun and he always make me laugh. Ok I know I will laugh at just about anything but him especially.
The rest of the trip as I said sucked and there were all these delays. I was supposed to have a 3 hour delay on Sunday, that turned into an 8 hour delay. So I sat in the airport for 8 hours before we could go anywhere. Then the only reason it did not get cancelled was because of this tool of a Captain that lived close to the airport that called in to see if he was needed. Screwed me and the FO out of getting out of the trip and also screwed the Company cause it actually caused more problems the next day!
Anyway, the whole trip sucked! But however, was briefly pleasant because I did in fact get to see Kenn. So it made all the bull worthwhile. I saw him last in Buffalo back in Oct or Nov. So it was very good to see him. If you read this Kenn, just know that what I said about the marrying part again does not necessarily mean you, so don't freak out. But, again, and I have told you this before if the opportunity were to present itself, I take it (maybe!, because I am a big chicken and our friendship is very valuable to me, but I would want too!!!) (open mouth, insert foot!)
Awwww I feel the same way, Lis!
*muah*!
