A New Job?

I am applying at an international airline for a flight attendant job. I never considered such a thing before, but jobs are scarce out there, and it certainly sounds interesting.

The pay sucks. The perks are better, and it sounds like there is plenty of overtime. International flights also have a 75 dollar per-diem on top of salary, so that can add up quickly.

My last job was dead end and used none of my experience or education. This one will at least make my Japanese and Spanish skills useful. There are also long layovers, as in days and days in a ratty hotel room in some foreign country. That will allow me time to fire up the laptop and get working on my new novels. I have two in the works and one finished.

I am on writing hiatus, about a week now. Too busy with too many projects, plus job hunting. Plus laziness.
