Get up at 6:30, feed the dogs, make a pot of coffee, get the paper. Drink the coffee, eat some oatmeal, take a dump.
Iron my shirts, pack my bags, bring in the dogs, take a dump.
Book my jumpseat home, take a shower, shave, take a dump.
Get dressed, get in car, drive to airport, take a dump, while waiting for late inbound aircraft.
Get on jumpseat of said late inbound, go to ATL, take a dump.
Sign in for trip to Johannesburg, get the flightplan, plotting charts, wx charts, read 10,000 NOTAMS, brief the Flight Attendants, go to the plane, take a dump....
Fly 15 hours, wait 30 minutes for the van, ride on said van for 45 minutes on bumpy roads, get to hotel, wait 20 minutes for room key, go to room, take a dump.
Shower, get dressed, meet the crew for happy hour, buy all the drinks, go to dinner, buy all the F/A's meals and drinks, go back to the hotel, take a dump.
Repeat as necessary, until you get to go home, and then, finally, take a dump.

I'm just joking with you man. Segue into an old joke, and it's "back in the day" for full effect.A good trip to an FE is getting a hamburger, hoping to hook up with one of the cabin crew.
A good trip to an FO is getting a steak, hoping to hook up with two of the cabin crew.
A good trip to a CA is getting a filet mignon, and hoping he has a bowel movement.
