Pascal Is Flying

Before going to the airport, I had to pick up my contacts that got dropped off at the UPS drop off point instead of my place 🙄 they opened at 8 and my report time was at 901. I still made it with plenty of time though. The first flight was only about half full! C had me do pre deps. Because of what she had said, I thought she had moved the beer bucket… but one cart didn’t have it. She was pretty pissed that catering didn’t give it and she didn’t catch it when she initially opened it, and then was saying I needed to tell her it wasn’t there. I thought she was gonna be mad the whole time at me, but she was fine, and still told me thanks for the great help lol. For service, I did linens and took the drinks she made. Service went by smoothly! There was one pax who had a one piece shirt on, and he’s caught up he said, and he’s rewatching them with his girlfriend. He said it’s a commitment but really good, just slow until after episode 200 or 300 😂. The rest of the flight was mad chill. We mostly just sat in the last two rows and chilled and did our own thing since there was nothing to do lol. While we were waiting for the second leg to start boarding, I made a drink manifest sheet in my notes app on my skypro in anticipation to do drinks. But I forgot that we don't do drinks since we have to have the cart sealed until after takeoff At least they're done for next time, lol. The flight wasn't full, but it wasn't super empty either. Also, during boarding, there were five different sets of passengers who said that I was on their flight down last Thursday. LOL!! WILD! Not one or two but FIVE??? That's also wild that they were all on the same flight and all coming back on the same day. Wild. Reminds me of my red eye vegas days. Also there was a phone that was found and I thought it was someone from the previous flight, but it turns out it was the woman who was sitting right in front of my jump seat. Crisis averted. C had a method for drinks that was really good. She would lay the glasses out window aisle window aisle and set up multiple trays so by the time that I would deliver the drink, she was already done with the next couple. It went super fast. Honestly, one of the smoothest lead-to-assist drink transitions that I've probably ever been a part of. Service went by just fine. There were a lot of very, very nice people who looked at me, said thank you, and all sorts of other good things. Also, one passenger in the first row of comfort plus in the F-seat, K, was super super nice. After service at one point when I was doing seconds, I told her that she had a very sunny personality and she was over the moon and said that she felt the same about me! She said she had just told her friend and husband that she had the most nicest, gorgeous, and lovely flight attendant ever hahaha. At one point her friend who was sitting in row thirty-six or so came to sit by her and she said that she wasn't gonna do any comfort plus stuff. They were just talking about some friend tea. Apparently a friend in their friend group had just gotten married but was hiding it from them. And initially K was mad about it. LOL. At the end of service and before I sat down in my jump seat, I went to go talk to her again and told her that she's lovely and wonderful and fun and beautiful and to never change. She was so so appreciative and she asked if she could give me a hug <333 I learned she has been in M for a while, but didn’t grow up here. She loves it though! She’s also a therapist, and is 30! I told her that if she ever needs anything, she can hit me up on insta or wherever and gave her my handle. She immediately followed me, and I followed her afterwards, so now we’re connected! Another thing I did was start my free tax USA account since I don't want to use TurboTax this year. At one point, all of us were talking in the back. C was in very good spirits and was leading some some conversation in the back about profit sharing and taxes and some other things. Oh also at one point she told me that I have checked on her in the front more than anybody has this entire year so far. LOL. At one point she went back to the front and J, M and I were talking about uniforms and different things. On final it was very very bumpy for a little bit, but we were able to do the final walkthrough before I ended up talking to K and eventually sitting down. M also parks in in the same place and she looked it up and saw that we had seven minutes until the next train. If we didn't make that one, we would have to wait 20 minutes. We rushed a bit and we caught up with J on the train and then we raced to the light rail station and we made it with two minutes to spare. Nice! :)

Second Service And Contact Lens Quests

This was a pretty easy trip. Definitely a lot more chill than Cancun Flight lol. I was L’s assist again. Good times. His son let him sleep this time around, but he said that he had just started taking a medicine and that was wrecking him a little bit. So he still wasn't a hundred percent. Despite that fact, he ended up doing alright! The first service was pretty easy. We were full, but we at least had the back two rows open. So that was nice. I decided to get the waffle since I hadn't gotten that in a long time. I still had the croissant though against my better judgment, and I did indeed have some bloating and stomach hurting after that. But it's fine. Maybe one of these days I'll learn LOL. While we were waiting for this second turn, I called Ace Hardware since my contact lenses had been delivered there Without me knowing. I had woken up this morning and finally clicked the tracking and saw that it said that I needed to pick it up by the twenty eighth, which was yesterday. However, they didn't open until 10 a.m. so I wasn't able to swoop by this morning, which is why I called them. They said it was there and I could come and pick it up tomorrow. I told them I was a flight attendant so I literally wouldn't be back in town until after they closed and they said that it would be fine to pick it up tomorrow. During boarding for the second flight, there was a mom who had a baby and she was carrying this bowl that had five different bowls with crumbled up napkins on it. So we thought it was trash. She didn't give it to us as trash though. At one point she came on the plane, then doubled back and looked at the rest of her family, and then put the bowls just on the counter. Very strange. Ergo, L started putting it in the trash can, but she stopped him and said, No, no, no, I want that. Hello????? VERY strange. L was flabbergasted lololol. He literally stood with his hands up for four pax coming on hahahah. The dad in that group had apparently ordered a lot of hot water during the flight. Thirdly, when L is picking up trash at one point, that same mom gave him a bowl full of water. HUH????? SO STRANGE DAWG! Also, H had noticed the woman at twenty-one E, who was Stumbling around and couldn't find her seat. However, we all got eyes on her and we decided that it was fine. H and D thought that she was on ambient or something. She ended up sleeping for part of the flight, but then ended up asking for water at one point, and she seemed fine. So that was fine. The grandpa was super super happy about that We came in to gate F fifteen or thirteen. Not great. After L, D, and H went towards the employee lot, I ran into J, who I had flown with before. His wings say T, but he does not go by T. He is an older lad who H described as the fun old gay man, or something like that lol. He said that he was really trying to get rid of his 35 hour Orange County something or other. He says he does not like to fly trips where he has to wake up because he doesn't let anybody dictate his bedtime. LOL. He also told me that the last time that msp had a lot of two twenty pilots there, there were so many pilots who got paid for doing absolutely nothing because they overstaffed the pilots when we didn't even have planes to fly them. He also said a lot of pilots will bid straight reserve and will not even fly. Crazy. Oh, there was also a passenger who stood in the back almost the entire flight. Almost the entire flight. I mean that. LOL Wild. D's guess was because he didn't want to sit by the family that had a baby. But at one point it got bumpy, so D said Alright, you have to go sit down since the seatbelt sign is on. And that was that LOL.
