I get ideas in the weirdest places.

I was watching the A&E series Airline. If you don't watch, it's about the daily activities of Southwest Airlines employess at Chicgo and LAX. Most of it it is, of course, bitchy customers.

But they look like they're having a good time. Hmm..

So I've filled out an application to be a flight attendant.

I love people. Dealing with people going to new places was one of my favorite things about being at SuperShuttle. Hell, I like going new places! I remember dealing with the flight crews from US Air. They were mostly tired or happy when I took them to their hotels.

I don't want to be a cashier forever. I want to do something again. I'm 37. It's time for a change. My health is as good as it will ever get. Kirsten has been fighting a couple of nasty infections for a week, and I haven't gotten anything. I haven't seized in a *year* and am on lower med levels. And nobody is hiring police dsipatchers.

Wish me luck.

Good luck!

Do you think your background will make a difference, post 9/11?

Honorable serivce in the Army, never been arrested, never been sued.. I checked my own background when I was applying for police positions. (And I did pass the California Highway Patrol background investigation back in 1992.. I just failed the interview by one bleeding point.)

I honestly can't think of anything. If I'm missing something, please mail it to me?
