Good mornin to ye me darlins.
It’s been a long time since i have written in my journal, a first for writing with this domain. Life’s bene sort of a whirlwind as of late and so writing kind of took a back seat. I’ll atempt to write more often but no promises. :P. I hate making promoses because at times they tend to get broken and then I end up feeling like total shite.
So, I’ve got a couple of things I want to show you. The first is one of the funniest things i’ve ever read. I definitely applaud United Airlines.
This is the perfect way to deal with unpleasant “Do you know who I am?” type of customers.
Do You Know Who I Am?
An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
During the final days at Denver’s old Stapleton airport, a crowded United flight was canceled.
A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”
The agent replied, “I’m sorry sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, “Do you have any idea who I am?”
Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone.
“May I have your attention please?” she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal. “We have a passenger here at the gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to gate 17.”
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the United agent, gritted his teeth and swore “(Expletive) you.”
Without flinching, she smiled and said, “I’m sorry, sir, but you’ll have to stand in line for that, too.”
The man retreated as the people in the terminal applauded loudly. Although the flight was canceled and people were late, they were no longer angry at United.
Pretty funny huh? I thought so even if you guys didn’t.
One of my favorite seasons aside from Spring is Fall, there are many reasons wy this is so. I have never told you why and thought I’d do so now.
1. Though I can’t see them anymore, I love the colors of the leaves as they change.
2. Crisp cool evenings.
3. Crisp cool mornings.
4. Autumn equinox.
5. Halloween/Samhain.
6. Pumpkins and carving them.
7. Eating pumpkin foods and drinking them.
8. Apple cyder and apple foods.
9. Hoodies.
10. Autumn rains.
11. Mabon.
12. Thanksgiving.
13. Fall decorations.
14. The autumn smells.
15. Bonfires.
16. The fire in the fireplaces, the sounds and scents of it.
17. Pow wows.
Autumn is a peaceful time of year. There’s nothing like it if you ask me. Unfortunately, it also means the return of Winter but I don’t think about that, or at least I try not to. So to Autumn I give a big huge welcome to you. Now if mother nature would only let it be Autumn and not try to bring us winter way too soon like she’s doing, I’d be happy. It’s just too bloody cold right now. Today it is supposed to be about 55 degrees but it will turn cold again next week. I plan to enjoy the weather today as much as I can. That will have to wait till after I’m off work though.
I suppose I’ll post this now. Look for more soon.
