Recently...Malaysia Airlines hits all the big channel news....It's all about Malaysia Airlines MH370 and MH17...one is missing without a trace...the other one blown off in the air....It was a big sad news that hit the world generally and Malaysia Airlines specifically.
I was once working as a cabin crew with Malaysia Airlines...personally I love working with an Airlines, environment was great, experiences was superb.
I would say that I can understand what is Malaysia Airlines is facing now...regardless all the speculations...I still believe that Malaysia Airlines is one of the best airlines in the world.
With all these news and stories about airlines...which almost everyday is showing on TV...it has brought back all the sweet and bitter memories of working with airlines.
As a cabin crew...the experience was awesome...however working as a ground staff (working with another well known airlines as well) was the real thrill and real adventure.
I experience a lot of drama that beyond imagination, friendship bond that full of sweet and bitter journey...there's a lot of other stuff experience that I think is worth to share with all the readers or viewers in this blog..
Let me share with you all the sweetness and bitterness of life in this beautiful journey of life in my Airlines years... as a ground staff especially(I would say it was almost 15 years)
My 1st day working as a ground staff
--------------------------------------
Well...let me introduce some of my working colleagues, that I adore all these years.
There's Uncle Grumpy...who's always angry and grumpy all the time...somehow I love working with him...i felt safe whenever I was working with him as my superior.(our superior will change according to duty roster)
There's Bo, Blaky, Felly,Jeffy, Rocky...Star Wars lunatic.
Vader...mobile pharmacy
Yappy...our own Mcgyver ( Old American series...about this guy with a lot of tools).
Rocky...our own rockers.
Honey..our own Miss World...she just extremely hot..even I my self..first time when i saw her in the office...I paused...admiring the beauty...
Hanna, Eve & Saphie...senior ladies...
I will introduce others in my next posting...
So...my first day at work...
Honestly...once i finished study I straight away joined Malaysia Airlines as a cabin crew...working for few years and left the Malaysia Airlines to work as a ground staff in another airline.
Cabin crew world was just not my type...Yes I agree..as a cabin crew I traveled around the world...meet different cultures...somehow I was the type who prefer to stay at home with my family...so I decided to joined another airline as a ground staff.. regardless how busy was the shift work, I'll still be at home on daily basis
I still remember, on my first day at work i reported very early...it was about 5.00 am.
In the office there were Bo, Blaky, Felly, Jeffy and Rocky...it's appear that they were looking forward to meet me, an ex cabin crew who is now the ground staff...I don't why it was a big deal to them.
"Hi Good morning...I'm Arin."
A good morning greetings to all of the in the office...once I stepped into the small office.
All of us shaking hands...introduction moment...it was fun...everybody seems so polite and welcoming...
However there's one middle age man maybe around his early 50's....sitting at the end of the corner...ignoring us...
I slowly walking towards him...suddenly somebody stopped me by grabbing my hand from behind...
"Becareful..that's Uncle G..."
Hmm...ok..i'll take extra precaution.
"Hi Good morning...I'm Arin..."
"Hmmmm....WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT MORNING"!
It was the first words came out from Uncle Grumpy's mouth.
I was numbed..no other words came out from me...i was a little bit shock...
He grabbed his bag...and said...Welcome and see ya!
Yes..yes..yes...the scary uncle is out of the office...
Bo came to me and told me to forget about Uncle G...he's what he is...actually he is a nice person...once you get to know him better...and you know what...yes...i agree with Bo...Uncle G is not that bad at all.
I will share with you how Uncle G was one of my favorite superior ( in my next post)
Well...come back to my introduction stories...I was shaking...this is my first day and the morning is not so good anymore...Anyway...all my nervousness were gone when all the boys came to me and calm me down.
They told me that they looking forward for the young girl working with them ( I was 23 years old) they do have girl working colleagues however...everybody reaching their retirement years.
They are waiting for fresh looks...It's kind of motivation for them to start work everyday....(what a loser)...
Anyway... they do have this beautiful middle age lady who is working with them..her name is Honey...she is rose among the thorns.
She's hot !...anyway...they need someone fresh looks to provide them all the energy...and light up the working mood....(Bo was the one who told me this)...at that time he's more scarier than Uncle G to me...
In the middle of those scary conversation...Honey came to save the day...
"Hey guys...stop it...you scared the hell out of this poor girl..."
"Hi...I'm Honey...you know what... these guys ...they are crazy..."
"Since today is your first day...you come with me...I'll be your mentor..."
"And you guys...stop messing around...i mean it..."Honey grabbed my hand...and i can still see their poker faces.
"Come on...we were telling the truth...we've been surrounded with bunch of old ladies...do you have any idea how it's like to work with bunch of old ladies...it is torturing...giving us mental diseases...at least Arin is here..she will light up the day..."
"Awesome" all the guys hi five to each other...
"Shut up...come on Arin...ignore those idiots..they are just bunch of idiots and losers...come on"
"Anyway...you guys don't have to work with us old ladies to get a mental sickness...you all already having mental issues..."That's what Honey told them...and once again with their poker faces...they hi five among them self....hmm weirddd alertttt...anyway very soon i'll be one of them.
Well...with all new environment...what can I say...I have to go for it...after all... it's just my first day at work.
More to come in my next post..I promise that...
