Am thinking of starting - Around the World in a Bad Mood: Confessions of a Flight Attendant by Rene Foss
Synopsis
An air stewardess often has a healthy sense of humour about her job - she has to! in this hilarious book, Rene Foss discusses every aspect of working at 39,000 feet - from the dumb questions the passengers ask - Is that your natural hair colour? Has anyone told you that you resemble Monica Lewinsky? Where are we? - to what a flight attendant might say on her job interview - "I'm hoping to find a job where I can deal with emotionally and physically abusive people who will blame me for everything that goes wrong in their lives." As Rene points out, both the ability to take abuse and to collect trash in confined areas are prime job requirements for working in the airline industry. You must also be a top-notch psychiatrist, policeman, banker, waitress, and babysitter. This clever and entertaining book - which also provides some real insight and information about the world of travel - is the perfect gift for the frequent traveller in your life.
Looks like a bit of fun!

The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go. Dr. Seuss

and those who matter don't mind."
