So I’m up again at 7am, despite my best efforts. It’s hard to time my sleeping to fit my ‘schedule’! A random girl sent me an sms for my first trip trades.. she actually took my Bahrain on the 27th – now I have an uninterrupted stretch of off days from Xmas to after New Year’s!!! It’s a miracle – and overwhelming just thinking about it. Going to wait until after the SYD standby to commence any planning freak-out.
Kylie is engaged!! I am super happy for her! Now I think about it, I vaguely remember her talking about a ring when I was there. I have to hurry up and meet David already! I think I used next month’s request for Toronto, but I am determined to get another SIN-BNE and stake out regular visiting rights.
In other news.. I checked iserve.. woooo! Just over AED12000 for the month. That’s $US40,000/year, with food and transport as my only necessary expenses. I’m already anticipating 3 years here – initially I was thinking only 2. Will I be able to leave at all when the time comes?! To be honest, I can kind of see myself moving to another airline when the time comes, as opposed to leaving the airline industry. I can safely assume most of the airlines aren’t hiring now because of the fuel crisis. Who knows what the situation will be by then – it’s impossible to predict. I feel very lucky to be with Etihad.. I’ve often been scornful of certainty in the past. But the security of the airline’s growth and, er, monetary resources is certainly reassuring. Ha. I think it might be the awesome book I bought too. 200 cities, with 2 pages per city, leaves you with the impression 3 years isn’t enough time at all, not even a lifetime is for all that.. 🙂
I’m on the last Meyer book in the series now too, Breaking Dawn. Trying to slow down my reading, because in spite of the raving cheesiness, I do really love the story and don’t want to reach the end!
