I know I am new to Noobsters.. So no one has heard me complain about my job, (a constant past-time mind you) or even talk about it..
I work in property management , my title is regional manager for apartment communities. Over the last 2 years all my properties have been in multiple states and I would be flying all over the place. well few months ago I bought a house in Phoenix and made a promise to myself that, I would not travel around anymore EVER...Well that lasted about 3 months or so..
so here goes my schedule:
4:00am alarm goes off, I stumble around cursing for 15 minutes before showering, than I run around trying to pack, looking for small non-dangerous items to pack for the over-nighter, as not to have trouble with airport security..Cant tell you how many times i have been randomly selected for secondary inspection.. (It must be my terrorist looking appearance)
5:30am off to the airport , praying all the way that there is no traffic. Its about an hours drive to the airport and I hate it, theres always traffic (but I have only ever missed two flights in my career, the rest I make my the hair of my chinny chin chin)
7:00 am board plane to El Paso Texas, .
Some of my friends know I do most of my text messaging to them while I wait for my flights.
1 hour flight.. NAP yes.
El Paso Texas = armpit of the US.
8:00 am get off plane, run for rental car. Whatever. I am never choosey when it comes to thier cars. Just get me there and back , its all i want. Its about a 30 minute drive to the properties, but they are located over the state line in New Mexico.. Santa Teresa, New Mexico anywhooo.
9:30 am arrive at property (3 of them) spend day working.. Staff is nice, properties are good. its a good gig.
4:00pm jet back to airport for flight to Alburqurque New Mexico
5:30pm Fly out to Alburqurque (1 hour flight again) NAP yes!!!
630PM arrive in Alburqurque, gotta say I love this airport, it has to be one of the nicest I've been to (exception of the airport in Singapore, but that dosent count) here, I have to be shuttled to the rental cars. I dont mind, its just time consuming.
7:30pm on the road to Santa Fe... (LOVE SANTA FE) wonderful place beautiful, but its 1 hour from the airport, and with this schedule I am already whooped.
8:30pm check into hotel.. drop dead........
next day 9:00am off to the next property, I love this place, I love the manager there. A flaming queen for sure. but a HOOT. I enjoy my day there.
4:00 pm off to the airport again.....(me and southwest airlines are like this (holds up hand with fingers crossed)
6:00 pm flight out , back to Phoenix
9:00pm Home..Check with kids, make sure they remember who I am, they do... good. go to bedroom... drop dead in bed...
(side note.. I only fly this scedule every 10 days or so.
next week, because of inspections I go twice, but ususally its more manageable)
(When I stay at home its a more easy paced schedule, nice 13 hour days... awwwwwwww YES
