| I landed at Southwest Airlines in 2004 as a Temp in the Benefits
Department. At that point, I had no desire to work at an "airline", I
wanted something that was going to be "more fun and creative." (I must
have skipped my college marketing class on the day they talked about
Southwest Airlines, right?) My first week at HDQ was Halloween; not
long after that, the Employee Christmas concert took place, and I was
absolutely hooked on the People, the LUV, and the Culture that the
Company is built on. I finally became official in on April 18, 2005
when I was hired as an Administrative Assistant in Technology. Two
years later, I found my calling--I became one of the "original" Culture
Ambassadors, which led to my new position as Culture Activities Rep! If
you want to know about New Orleans (my home), Louisiana State
University (my alma mater-go tigers!), New York City (my home for three
years), Reality TV/Pop Culture (my favorite), or Kookalaka Fettuccini
Messina (my dog)--I'm your blogger!

The children of deployed servicemen and women sacrifice a lot when their parent (or, in some cases, both parents) leave home to serve our country.

We wanted a dog, we got a baby sister; luckily she turned out pretty great, or we would have totally traded her in for that dog. |

Jury Duty or Why I need a different job title to use outside Southwest. |
|
I recently got called for jury duty for the first time ever. "Bring a book, you'll be sitting there all day," everyone advised. So I did.
I arrived a few minutes early, signed in, and settled in with my book. A short while later, we were being whisked away in groups. I was so involved in my book I almost missed my number being called--I thought I was going to |

Flying With New Wings |
|
I had one of those experiences the weekend before last. An experience that you couldn’t plan if you tried, but one that means so much that it is hard to put in to words. |
