The rest of dealing with my passport

I went and camped out at the inflight office, trying to talk with the base manager.  I talked to several other flight attendants who said he'd be able to help me.  One of the supervisors came out after I'd been there a while and told me, "I am just being straight up with you right now.  Even if he does meet with you, you don't want to see him today.  He's been in meetings all day and is going to be in a really bad mood."  So I went back to the pad.

This is such a big deal because it puts me on the final leg before I can get fired.  Any other incident with the company could cause me to lose my job.  I've never had trouble at a company and have always been an over achiever so this is ridiculous.

On February 2, I spoke with my supervisor and then sent him a long email detailing what happened and why my passport wasn't updated sooner.

I followed up with my Sup on February 6.  We set up several appointments to meet, but due to scheduling issues. we weren't able to meet.

All this time, I've been paranoid about anything being out of place with my uniform or me stepping out of line - not reading all of the PA's, being late, not saying the right thing or doing procedures out of order.  Paranoid.

Finally, on the 9 or so, I was on a trip, but we had a 2 hour stop in Boston in the middle.  I grabbed my supervisor and we were finally able to talk.  He spoke with the base manager and the manager was unwilling to remove the UNA from my schedule because he felt I had plenty of time since I started here to get my passport updated.  Crap.

"Well, I can tell how much you care about this job because of all your frantic emails and phone calls.  So let's take a look at your first UNA and see if we can get that removed instead.  That way you'll still only have 1"  Turns out, he was able to get the UNA removed where I got back from a 4 day and then they called me but I'd already had a drink.  (ya know, the one after I'd been away from base for 14 days straight?)  Whew, well long and drawn out, but everything worked out.  Stupid scheduling.  I'm sure it's not the last time I'll be saying that.
