Yearly Exams

Oh God, tomorrow is the first day of the yearly flying exams, a day loathe with a passion, same old same old......same drills, same exams, same routine and the fact that cabin crew are not 9-5 people makes the three day routine pretty dull.
To make matters worse this year the place is full of the volunteers training to do our jobs should we strike, how on earth are we supposed to integrate with these people who are doing us an injustice.
Should i put cellotape over my mouth....gaffer tape....of just sew my mouth up!

The best thing is the evil looks i can give, surely i cannot be reported for intimidation by the way i look at someone, one of Gary's looks is worth more than anything i could say verbally.

Also presently mulling over which songs i should sing in this damn competition, i have my second song but not my first one. I need to win this as i will be plastered all over the works newspaper which kick some right where it hurts.

Mum and dad flying down on Tuesday on the 0910 flight from Newcastle to Heathrow, i need to sort out their transportation from the airport to my house as i will be in Cape Town at the time, i will see them when i get back on Thursday morning.

I was hoping to take them to see Sister Act The Musical in the west end but as Whoopi Goldberg is taking over Sheila Hancocks role the prices have sky rocketed, usually the most expensive seats are between £65 and £85 but to day i saw royal circle tickets for a matinee show for £152.00, now that is extortion, either the show is cashing in big time on Whoopi's three week stint in the show or she is demanding such a huge salary for performing that they have to cover it with raised seat prices, the fact she is a crap singer seems to have no bearing on it, but then again Sheila Hancock can not sing either, she gets by, one of those talk sing singers!! So i think the theatre afternoon which could cost me £300 with tickets and transport is so expensive i could have a holiday for that, i am sure i will think of something else.
