4. Now, I'm tired, embarrassed, stressed out and have to fly in an airplane across the country, yes, I'm a flight attendant; and now I'm supposed to act all happy and nice to the few hundred passengers I'll fly with today for three legs and 10 hours, serve food and drinks with a smile, and protect them in case there's an emergency, and try to look as glamorous as I can, or at least try to hide the dark circles under my eyes, with 3 1/2 hours sleep and stressed out.
