My work trip eneded today and so I made my way to the airport, dropped off my rental care, and then found myself at the gate over and hour and a half early. I'd always rather be early then late. So out popped the lap top and I just kinda fiddle faddled around the internet and then I noticed the gate kiosk said they were overbook and looking for volunteers. I figured hey I dont' have to work again for 3 days lets see what they are offering. I ask if they still need volunteers and the lady told me they did that I would be put on another flight that would get in only 3 hours later then my own and I would get a 500 dollar voucher for it. How could I turn that down. My husband and I want to take a trip before he leaves for basic to see his grandmother and his sister. How perfct would this be. Unfortunatley in the time between me volunteering and the time the plane left the seat I was supposed to be on the other flight was sold. UH OH! Of course the air line was going to be as accomodating as possible. I am now booked on first class for tonight going to Portland and then they are putting me up for the night and I fly home first thing in the morning. Not ideal, but do able. First class doesn't hurt my feelings either. Dinner was also on them. Thanks U.S. airways.
All in all a good trip. I learned a ton about my new job and the trainer told me he wished he could talk me into moving to Phoenix and being part of his staff. I'd say a very good compliment. At the end of the day my trainer handed me a Bear condo (as we call them) inside was a bear I had stuffed myself the prior day with a little graduation cap and gown and a little honors rob. I couldn't have been happier. What a great way to end a great week. I made new friends, learned a ton about work and for the first time in a long time wasn't stressed out about my job, life, etc.
