adding to the stupidity

 since the beginning of may, i have been in trainer status. my job is to train these ladies to be just like me!! well, not really. i impart my knowledge, then sit back and watch to make sure that they use prper procedure for the next six weeks. my first lady did a fabulous job and aced her test with flying colors. my second lady is testing this week, and she is a riot. she doesn't say much, but when she does, stand back.

part of the job is to tell passengers what they need to do to get ready to come through security. whether they listen or not is not our place to determine, we are required to run our mouths constantly... kinda like the announcements on the rides at disney. heaven forfend that there's a policy change that we have to announce because yesterday, everyone's ears were painted on.

so my girl was advising her passengers about laptops, shoes, boarding passes, the usual drill, and this one lady would not stop talking. my girl waited until the woman paused to take a breath. she tried to make eye contact. she waved her hand to get the lady's attention. nothing.

"ma'am. i will give you $100 right now if you look at me."

three people from another lane turned to look and this lady was completely oblivious. she finally stopped yapping when the other lane busted up laughing and someone from behind her pointed at my young lady up front. "are you ready, miss? good. because we have all been waiting on you."

and then it took her three tries to walk through the metal detector because she wasn't ready after all.
