I was going to type something, but then was interrupted and now I don't want to stop! JK. I will do this later.

It's fun how quickly I run out of energy after my yummy cup of coffee. I was ready to type something up here, but now I'm super tired haha. Coffee crashes get me fast these days. I'll still type something up anyway.

I am on call with my job today until 2300, but will most likely not be called for a flight out, because I have already been assigned a trip for tomorrow. Today supercedes that, but it's highly unlikely they will remove me. It's good for me, because I can better prepare for the trip. I'm not doing anything fancy tomorrow, just a flight to Chicago, then back and then to Orlando, layover, and then back home. That will take up the three days I had on call. So, I'll be free for two days after. Nice.

Weather here is not that pretty. All day has been cloudy and raining. I don't mind it, I wasn't planning on going anywhere, but since I am on call, you never know with weather. Definitely a stay-at-home day. I'll throw a little photo of it below.

I have been catching up on some shows recently, so I need to update my little Status box in the corner. I am awaiting the premiere of The Wheel of Time. It is supposed to be released on the 19th and plan on watching just the first episode. I have to sleep early tonight, so can't go further than that. Hopefully though I'll be able to catch the next episode on my layover.

If I get a little time on my flights I'll try to update this with my thoughts.

In the sky, on my way back to Miami. Just spent the night in Honduras with the crew. What a great night it was. Hanging by the pool having some drinks and food, telling insane stories from our job. We've been getting more junior flight attendants back to Miami after many got displaced due to COVID. It's nice to fly with people my age group.

Two more flights to go today and then going to head home. We head to Puerto Plata, DR shortly after we arrive and then back to Miami. Should be pretty easy. We have a great crew as well so that helps.

Time for some coffee!

Hello frens. I was not able to update the page in operations, but I did snap a photo before I was assigned to fly to Turks & Caicos. It was a quick trip, basically fly there, and then setup to fly back. Didn't even leave the aircraft. We did have a little fun while we waited for security to finish their sweep. The plane next to us was about to push back, so we waved at the pilots and one of the crew blew kisses, they waved back. Then we started dancing on the stairs outside the door of the aircraft and the crew at the aft of the plane were doing the same. I'm sure most passengers were confused and taking photos. All in fun.

Back home now, but got assigned a trip for tomorrow. Looks like I'll be flying to Orlando and back, then off to San Pedro Sula, Honduras. It's a rough country, but the layover at the hotel is pleasant. Not sure what the vaccine situation is like there, but looking forward to learning their progress. After flying back from Honduras, we head to Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Fancy! Not the shortest of work days, but I'm sure the trip will be pleasant. I look forward to updating you on that situation.

Yes, I am still typing my blog entries on an IBM PC 5170. No, I don't know why. However on the plane I will be using the Notes app. :)

Until tomorrow, and yes I will update. I really hate typing on my phone, but will knock it out.

Long time, sorry. I just finished packing my luggage for work tomorrow. Headed to the airport for what we call standby. Basically, I sit in the crew lounge in Operations and if they need me to relieve a crew member and so on, I will be ready to go. Keeps operations moving.

I will try to update the blog while on my sit if I do get to sit. Sometimes we get so busy at work that I get immediately assigned a trip. Regardless, I'll keep the blog going.

Time to get some rest though.

So, I've been having a little fun with my internet on this Windows 2000 machine. I have a little travel router I used to take with me everywhere, and after upgrading to a new model I decided to use this one just for this machine. I wanted to mimic a 56k v.92 modem, and this travel router allows for speed limits. So I played around and I am now using internet as if I were in 2001. The problem is, the internet is so bloated now, that these speeds just can't handle all the garbage. Seriously, you should look at the source code of some of these sites. It's full of so much crap.

Solution I've found so far is to use a browser like New Moon, and then UBlock plugin. In the settings I enabled a ton of different filters that kill off pretty much all social media buttons as that is what seemed to slow down pages. I also killed off ads and so on. Another thing I am considering is flipping the switch to not load large images, or give me the option to load them. This definitely will help with speed.

It's clearly just for fun. I don't plan on browsing this way, but it really reminds me of how far we've come. I do miss the internet when it was more simple. I was younger though, and maybe the internet wasn't as great for everyone. Anyway, that's all I have for now.
