$390 one way--- Full Can of Diet Coke NOT included !

So. Here it is...the wonderful world of flying. It used to be so exciting. Magical, even.

It is quite different these days. Airport security adds an extra hour--or so!-- to travel time each way. And, god forbid if you forget and leave bottled water in your carry on so that you don't have to pay $3.00+ for water. That's a whole other "pat down--bag check" story.

So, why is it.....that it takes a figurative "act of congress" to get a FULL glass of beverage and a literal "act of congress" to make any glass HALF empty. That's today's riddle, I guess. 

And, where is the attitude in service.  Oh, check that, I saw and experienced the "attitude," if an eye roll and head shake count.  I bust my bottom (you can tell by the distinct..... Oh, never mind) serving my clients to the very best of my ability and here are these flight attendants "weary" and "put out" because I requested a full glass of ice and a FULL can of diet coke---NOT the excrement left over from the last pour from a can that may have been open since "People's Express" was flying (You have to be old enough to catch that reference---ok---google it) and 2 lonely ice cubes that looked as if they have taken the WHOLE brunt of Global Warming! 

I wanted a A FULL CAN and A FULL CUP OF ICE CUBES!  Is that too much to ask??????????

Now, before I get all kinds of hate mail, there are plenty of Flight Attendants who LOVE their jobs and Serve their clients with the same passion and attention with which with I do in Real Estate. And I certainly know we all have bad days. But, come on....what gives?!  

I just checked out of a hotel--a major chain no less-- where I overheard the staff screaming at each other and fighting about who was cleaning which floor of rooms.  Some sort of argument or disagreement  EACH morning I was there.   Yikes. Are we, as a culture suffering from the worst case of "entitlement" ever?!

• Does anyone still "love to fly, and it shows?"
• Does anyone REALLY "leave the light on?!"
• Do you think you could walk on those cool clouds!

Look at this sky!!!!!.......

• Is it going to rain above us and not below???
• And will be be able to feel it?
• Am I asking too many questions?!

Okay. Something to think about.  I wish the skies were friendlier.  

But, I DID get a full can of diet coke and enjoyed ALL of it......that reminds me.

Oh, shucks............................ is the lavatory is occupied?!
