Well, patience pays off. My doorbell rang yesterday. I thought it was the kid next door, but our mailman rings the door bell when he puts packages in the mailbox. Imagine my giddiness when I saw the little white package. I tore into it like a child at Christmas. It wasn’t the products I thought. I got my second order first. No harm, hehehe that means the first order should be in town and delivered early next week.
Anyway, I had to make do with what I had in hand. I looked at the little bottles and my brain went to mush. I have been reading threads and paying attention to the mx ###'s and thought sure I would know what to use. In all my giddiness I had no clue. I went to the store to see what was what, but I felt like I was running out of time to finish an exam, (UGH!!!) I had to get ready for work. So I decided to call in a professional and called Jasmin. Big hugs!!! Thanks Jasmin!!!
It was decided from what I had on hand I would try MX 108. Recommended dosage; 3 sprays. OK so I took my shower as usual. I did not wash my hair but only rinsed it since I washed it yesterday and with the humidity running 100% it would be easier to handle. Before I got dressed I put on two sprays. One shared behind the ears and one on the V in the cleavage. Hehe more giddy laughter. I was on my way. I can’t judge anything by me because I was so excited. I waited to put the last spray on till I was on the employee bus because it was raining hard and I knew I would get a little wet. But even the bus drivers not stopping at the shelters so we have to run in the rain, didn’t deter me, smiles like I had a secret. I hopped on the but dried my hands and put the last spray on my wrist and rubbed together and then to the back of the hand. The only other guy to get on the bus sat right in front of me and didn’t speak. He got on his cel phone right away. He was just chatting away then I notice he started to get kinda fidgety in his seat. Don’t know him so don’t know if this is normal. He got off at the first stop and turned to me and said he has no clue why his management keeps calling him then wished me a Happy New year and bounced off the bus. The usual thing ppl do getting off the bus especially if they don’t know each other is thank the driver and go on our way.
I get to work and one of the girls displaced from Katrina is back. Yeah!! Big hugs yadda yadda. Happy to see her. She follows me into the office and is talking nonstop while I punch in and look at my schedule. Wonderful I am in charge today and didn’t wear the right uniform. No fear I have the right uniform jacket in the office. I go to find it and change my name tag over. She is still following and talking. Humm, is she just trying to catch up, doesn’t matter I’m happy to see her. Then another female coworker comes in the back door, some else I am good friends with at work. She comes over and is stuck like a magnet too. She is trying to get me to change with the other supervisor and go to the gates with her. All the while I am still playing with my jacket. I notice I still have not taken the tags off my jacket and head to the counter to look for scissors. I find some and place myself at a podium with three agents and start to cut my tags. One of the females offers to help me. The other just smiles. The third is the other supervisor male. We start to chat about the operation. Delayed flights due to weather (what else is new) but he offers to come help me with the Newark flight. Strange, it is on time and I already have an agent. What anyone failed to tell me is it was oversold. (UGH!!!). No fun to work but no problem, this is what I get paid for right? By the time I get to the gate and look at the computer and decide what I will offer volunteers he walks in the back door smiling. We talk about the flight and he says he will handle the oversales. What? Noone likes to do that. Newark is a tough one to oversale, ppl on that flight don’t like to give up their seats unless you guarantee them the world on a silver platter. But I say, Okay then. I go down to check on the status of the flight attendants since we have crew change and the old flight attendant tells me someone threw up ( not unusual due to the bumpy flight, Storms) in the last row and they didn’t have time for a biohazzard kit. By the time I get on there maintenance is on there bitching about the flight attendant. But smiles at me and tells me he wants a list of the crew on the inbound flight. I go get the list and both agents are at the computers only one prints to screen so I say excuse me to my male counterpart and he doesn’t move, I have to reach around him so we are standing so close we are touching. I come back with the list and maintenance has the seats and seat belts replaced. He smiles again and says all fine. Yeah. No boarding delay. The new crew is ready so I go back outside. I kinda feel like a third wheel because we have three ppl working the flight. The other two want to take care of everything. So I go back to the podium and a sour guy walks up and says are you the supervisor. I say yes and he is b****** about his seat and points to the other sup and says he wouldn’t help him. I just nod. Right when I go to board the other sup calls the guy to the podium and gives him what he wants. Hummm, we don’t go out of our way for ppl that b**** to us the way that guy did. So I start boarding and after awhile seat guy boards and thanks me for helping him. I say you are welcome,(but I didn’t do anything). The other sup is still handling oversales with no volunteers. (More UGH!!!) Finish boarding and go down to the plane to solicit on board, still no takers. We close the door 9 min late and he has denied boarding to one person and is dealing with the customer. (Not a fun thing to do). One down. I go to close the flight and both agents are at the computers and no one will move. This time I have to just about stand on the female agent. Time for the next gate.
This flight is delayed due to the storm. I am walking out of the jetway and back to the computer and see a pilot I know. I greet him and wish him Happy New Year. A few min later he is standing right next to me wishing “me” Happy New Year. I thought he just did that. Ppl are milling around the podium but no one is asking what we call DFQ’s. (basically stupid questions). Ppl just smile at me. We are 45 min late and ppl are just smiling. Again, hummm?
The rest of the day is about the same till about 4p. (I have washed my hands several times so I reapply 1 spray to my wrist and back of hands as before). I am back at the ticket counter to help check-in customers because we have a 2.5 hour between flights. The other supv touches me on the back and says he will go take care of my ticket lifts from the gate. (huh?) I tell him I already did them. He is sticking close as are some of the other agents. He then asks me if he can leave at 5p. (huh?) He usually just tells me he is leaving. He says he will count the safe. So about 4:30 he is in the back counting the safe and I decide I will do a few things to close out so I can leave on time. I look over and he is having trouble with the change drawer. We do this everyday how hard is it to count to $500.00. He starts over and gets part way thru and says here you do this, you are making me nervous. (What?). I start counting the drawer and he comes back two times to say goodbye.
Last flight. I have four wheelchairs. When boarding them on the flight all four become real chatty. Getting ready to leave I go on board to check with the captain. I chat with the flight attendant while they are closing the overhead bins. I ask her where she is from because of her accent and she says Guam. I ask if her last name is Pangelinan ( about like Smith there). No but her mothers maiden was and blah blah and tells me her full name. 5 or 6 in there. I tell her Haifa-Da and she just about throws her arms around me.
End of day. I am exhausted. I come home and hubby hugs me as usual. I figure I am all worn off by now. He walks away and comes back and gives me a passionate kiss. Also not that unusual. I am changing clothes and he catches me in the hall way and kisses me again and almost dumps both of us on our heads grabbing me up (not the norm). I go lay in bed and he comes in and pulls me as close as he can get me. He is watching TV and I am going to sleep. I woke a little while ago as usual (I have trouble sleeping), he was still holding me.
Any suggestions for tomorrow? I have MX106-111 to choose from. I may wait till I get to work to apply as I am having a little trouble with one of the guys at work. If I have to work with him I wont apply anything. He is another supv. Both my best friends at work are supv both male and he is one of them. He is hispanic and has always hugged and kissed me upon seeing me. But the other night when going out to our cars he held on to my head and really tried to KISS me. It was kinda sad. But that is another story.
P.s. I love the smell!!!
