What is the one thing you wish you knew BEFORE you became a flight attendant

[jetset lady]

I wish someone had told me that sleep would become a rare and elusive creature, the search for which would take over my life.

Or that I would develop an almost pathological hatred of tomato juice.

Or that I would become a secret hotel/destination snob.

Or that I would suddenly find myself fascinated by all things "wheelie bag" related.

Or that I can no longer apparently count to "ONE".
