Getting back from the lame hotel micro gym to find your key doesn't work anymore. Then having drag your sweaty stinking carcass to the front desk and they won't reactivate your key because you don't have proper ID with you. Then having to wait for security to escort you to your room to fetch ID. Then having to go back to the front desk to get your key activated. And you started all this with one hour to pick up time.

As far as needy F/A's at the sign in sheet. I am polite but firm, I don't put up with it. Polite doesn't mean you have to let yourself get walked over.

Good times.......good times.........

Attach that to the back end of my aforementioned duatribe.

Further exacerbated by having to get in the post workout triple-S.

Now with 20 minutes to pick up time.......

Push, pinch, rinse, leave a "soul" patch of facial hair on your right cheek where you missed it doing a turbo swipe across your face with the razor. Throw on your uniform that sticks to the wet skin on your back where you missed drying in your mad rush. Pack your bag via the toss, smash and zip method. Exit the room with 4 minutes remaining to pick up time. Slow elevator, stops on every floor on the way down to the lobby.

Chunk your key at the front desk as you fly out the door to the van now 2 minutes late. The crew is sitting in the van all ready to go giving you the dreaded "death" stare. Only after loading your bags and sitting down in the van do you realize that your fly is undone and your white shirt is sticking out of it and your clip on tie is tucked under your collar on the right side but is over your collar on the left.

Get to the airport only to find that your flight is now two hours late so there was no reason to rush...

Sound familiar anybody?:)

Sounds like you've flown with me!

It is amazing how I end up running late for a 1600 show time (see above) but am always at least 15 minutes early downstairs for a 0400 one.

Funny how that works sometimes....:D

My question to the one guy is: who actually uses the alarm clock in the room? That thing gets unplugged immediately to prevent a rouge alarm and so I can plug in my charger.

Ever have your phone not switch to your current time zone? I had that happen once....It did ring when the crew desk called me 5 minutes prior to push and I thought I still had an hour though.:D

Same

My OCD dictates that I have a clock readily available to look at in the middle of the night when I get up to pee to see how much longer I have to sleep.

You forgot still wearing your gym socks......

1) Check your key every time you leave the room.

2) Take a picture of your ID and keep it on your phone.

3) Write the room number on your phone and leave the key envelope (with the room number) in your room so that if you lose your key no one who picks it up knows which room it's for.

OCD is your best friend.
