Imagine waking up at 2 in the morning. Take a bath, put on those uniform and make up and head to the office for work at 330. Do a four-sector duty greeting the guests, and keeping them safe until 12 noon. Go home. Look at the next day's schedule and realize you actually have more than 24 hours rest because your duty will start at 9 in the evening and will end at 4am. The day after tomorrow, you'll be like Cinderella as your duty will begin at midnight until the sun hits it big at 11 in the morning. Check the airline website for available flights. No--actually, you already have your own copy for that particular destination. Check the time on your watch. There's still time before the last flight hit the 45-minute counter closed. Change your clothes and immediately head to the airport still with the make up on. All your efforts are paid off because you get to have your boarding pass! And then there's this bit of delay which is really frustrating. Boarding, take off, inflight, landing. You won't notice that, you're too busy dozing off on your way. And when you see that person meeting you with that big smile on his face, you let out that big smile too as you tell your sleep debts to kiss your ass because you won't be sleeping anytime soon. Yes because you'll do it again the next day. Hop on an airplane ride on its first flight and meet the airport at dusk to catch the last flight back home to become Cinderella. And yeah, debts will be paid, but not too long. 3 days off. You'll soon be back on that place where you have left your heart. That's where your real home is.
