AIRPORT USAirways


Isn't my bag cute! I love that bag.
US Airways has captured me and kept me prisoner and away from my friends and family. I really like what I do for the most part. I like the challenge and dealing with different situations and people on a constant basis.

I have missed you all. I am choosing to work 48 hours in 4 days. I have been away because I have been at soccer practices and games as well as football games and taking pictures on Thursday and Friday nights. To say my schedule as been a little busy is an understatement. But, I love it. I took the summer off so that I could be with my kiddos. Now, I am ready to work. I do appreciate and like the ability to have a very flexible schedule. I can work as little or as much as I need to.

My goal this year to pay for all of Christmas out of my checks. I received another pay raise and we have been receiving $50 extra a month for customer service and on time departures, for the past 7 months! ( I work for US Airways express)
I am home when my children come home from school and in the mornings Mr. Incredible is with them until they hop on the bus.
It's a great time to pick up extra hours because its basically easy money right now. The weather is fair and offers its own problems but nothing terribly bad. Flights are not over sold and are fairly a light passenger load. Now, is a great time to travel.
Guess what?? I got to meet an Internet friend from my yahoo group. She was travelling through my city and had a small lay over. I happened to be working and we hung out for a bit! She was so fun and I absolutely love her!!! She does have a high profile job and travels a ton. I am still trying to convince her to start a blog!

Your job sounds as great as your bag! Fab! Good idea about Christmas.

I think we are going to have an opportunity to really focus on the real meaning of Christmas this year! Lucky us. m

First off, your smile is so beautiful. I like it better than the bag. Sorry.

How fun for you to meet a friend. Hope that you get that goal completed. I think you should start calling yourself Mrs. Incredible. Yes I do.

You are a beautiful woman with a rockin' bag, and you've got your priorities straight. I'll forgive a blog hiatus if it means spending time with your kids and earning money for Christmas. Good for you.

SO fun to see you at work. I like your new unders! So cute! I kind of caught up reading, I haven't turned on the computer except to pay for bills in a few weeks. I had to email my lover some pictures of his truck he is trying to sell (I almost didn't say what the pictures were, and that would have sounded BAD!)

Tulsi said...

I could be dense today. What do you do at the airlines? I think it sounds like any job at the airport would be interesting .

Kalae said...

Sheesh...I thought that my job was cool, and that I worked alot...well....lol I do, but at least u get buddy passes to travel wherever for free!!! Lucky Bum!!

I had no idea you worked there. I must have missed those posts.

How great to have the summers off to be with the kids.

And I'm so jeleous that you got to meet a cyberfriend for real!

ktmay said...

yeah, what does high profile mean???? huh? i love those pictures, pretty lady!!! i don't know how you do all that you do. i feel like such a slacker right now. must get job, must get job!!! of course your babies are getting older. the older ones can definitely look after the younger ones when necessary! that'll be awesome. in life we go through so many stages. sounds like you are loving this one! we saw a documentary the other day about airport employees and how they deal with irate customers, lost/damaged baggage/when people miss their connecting flights and have melt downs...i was like "there's no way i could keep calm and nice with someone yelling in my face!" i'd be like "BACK IT UP"

Hi MG~ Love the photo's of you, your bag and your friend~ I was just looking through ads thinking now might be a good time for me to get a job again-I come to your blog and you are working! Good for you, I'm glad you like your job.
You made a comment on my blog asking what lens we used for taking the photos-Just the standard 28-70mm on my Nikon D70s~
I know very little about photography and have thought about taking a class. I just know it brings me a lot of joy.
Take Care~
Robin~♥
