I’m here on standy. As soon as there was life at the check-in counter, i went up to let them KNOW that i was here (in case that helped my standby position at all). turns out it doesn’t. they know i’m on standby and that’s all they care about.
She told me i was 4th on the list. I told her that when they put me on standby this morning i was 3rd. So what happened. Oh well, someone more important most have signed up…..like a silver medallion person.
It’s probably that guy in the shorts and flipflops. He missed that 6:30 flight this morning too. He looks like one of those first class, silver medallion people. He didn’t get miffed when he missed his flight (cause he flys all the time and this stuff happens, right?) And he must have known his silver medallion status would bump him up to first class stand by person.
That makes me automatically not like him. He was up at the counter just now with this little knowing smirk on his face……like he knows the poor girl sitting all alone at her lap top (the one that was in tears this morning, oh i hope he didn’t see that!) is going to have to just be prepared to sit another five hours because HE is going to be the stand by person, not her!
It makes me want to go up and trip him or something. Or spill coffee all over his perfect little carryon bag or put a sleeping pill in his coffee so he’ll fall asleep and won’t hear them call his name (that is IF i had a sleeping pill and IF he was drinking coffee).
