Ok I said something to this girl at work. I mean she's not hard to talk to really, we're just ordinary coworkers, not complete strangers. Trying to start a convo with some hottie on the train or wherever, now that would be a bitch to do... I certainly felt awkward doing it, and she didn't seem to be interested in having to deal with me, except for a possible acquisition of information that I may or may not have. still, for so long, we've not had a word between us, and I've changed that. I want her to think I'm a good dude, ya know.... see, what happened was she talked shit to me about how I really hate the job and she loves it more than me, but she sucks at the job that's the issue. The only thing she can do is the fmc loader and more power to her, but the job is to fill planes manually as well as by mechanical methods and she's not particularly good at one, why spend money on half a good employee I'll never know. Delta crazy... so after slicing and dicing my ego, she completely fails at trying to toss heavy crap, which is what the job is, and from this I gather she thinks I think she's a dumbass, which is kinda true, but far from how I really feel... I'm scared for her safety. she's like lois lane completely, just putting herself in stupidly outrageous situations and thinking she doesn't need a man's help. She's lost, and I know that, she's such a smart girl outside of her ambition to prove she can do whatever a guy can... I want to protect her.
No matter, what's funny today is that seemingly I've also been upgraded to fmc status... Hopefullly..., nigga might just say he was kidding about letting me work the easier gates and put me back on the shitty ass hood gates. I just wanted to learn the fmc for once, and suddenly he tells me I'll Always be working with a certain ala from now on. Now this guy's a good guy for trying to diversify my skillset... I think in preparation for fulltime. They're planning to make me AIC on some of the gates since I know my shit by now. Problem is I suck ass at fmc, having not done it much and I've never parked a plane which is practically like landing it, mess up and you're not getting another chance... It's gotta be right every time.
We'll see. When I'm at work, especially at delta, I feel happy honestly... I'm doing what I dreamed of doing, working on aircraft, having a chance to see the world, possibly squeeze into pilot status, I mean, if you train and get the license, that's all it is, you're clear to fly... Delta works based on qualifications and even promotions... and there are some smart motherfuckers working there, they THINK first before throwing you under the bus... not everybody there, but there's a higher level of sophistication at the airline rather than the subcontractors. This suits me because I'm a man of inquisitive sensibilities, I have an open mind... and that's supported at the company, being crafty, clever, smart, not just a mindless drone. It's so cool when your boss sits you down at a computer to look at new architectural designs that fascinate him and he wants to share that with you... where else does that happen?
