Job Satisfaction

I know I've said this before, but I really mean it. I love my job. I still completely suck at it, but I'm enjoying the people and the perks.

This weekend, I went to 2 Christmas parties. The company party was Friday at the Hotel Sofitel. It was kind of bizarre being there again, as it was also where my high school prom was held. Employees from all over flew in and got dressed up for this event. For the first time in my life, I actually won something in the raffle too. Being an airline, of course the prize was 2 first class round trip tickets anywhere.

Saturday was the famed management party at the CEO's house. It was fabulous. To sum it up - limo service to and from his house; received hug from CEO; drank one of the CFO's deadly chocolate martinis; had shrimp brochettes and steak for dinner; and watched the VP of Flight Ops do a tequila shot off of the PR director's arm.

That's all fine and dandy, but what I'm really excited about is what I'm going to do this weekend. On Friday morning, I'm going with the internal audit boys to ST MAARTEN!! I was originally going up to NY to bug Brian, Sandhya, and Julian, but I had to flake on them. The Caribbean is calling me. I've wanted to go there ever since I saw the vacation home that a certain Private Bank client bought down there. The island is half Dutch (St Maarten) and half French (St Martin), and the airport runway is right at the beach, so you get an awesome view.

Can you believe this?

Ah... I love this job.
