Flight RXH 12 by Carla Beltempo It had been muggy and hot on the journey, but it was pleasantly cool inside the airport building. Georg was happy, it was 11 a.m. and he was on time. Punctuality is one of his principles. Up at 6 a.m., in the office at 8 a.m. and out again sharp at 5 p.m. Not a minute later, there can be what wants. He doesn't let his time be stolen. With eight siblings he had learned to assert himself. He doesn't let the butter be taken off his bread. assertiveness and punctuality. these were his keys to success. That's how he made it to department head. When he got to the counter he was told that his flight was overbooked and that he had to take the next flight two hours later. Well, they had come to the right person with him. Not with him! Calm and determined at first, then getting louder and louder, he insisted on his rights. After various threats had been made, they finally gave in and made it possible for him to still be on board. You can do that with someone else, not with me! Not with me ! He didn't let anyone take the butter off his bread! Satisfied with himself, he leaned back in the armchair and opened his newspaper. Then came the call: Flight RXH 12. That was his. He boarded, stowed his briefcase, took his window seat, and continued reading his newspaper. He didn't let the butter be taken off his bread, he didn't! The late news brought it: There is still no trace of flight RXH12. Michael was a student. So, strictly speaking, this was the third degree he started without completing either of the other two. His parents could afford to finance this for him as well, because he was the only child and they earned well. Michael took things slowly. Don't stress! It was tough having to get up at 6 in the morning to get to the airport on time. But you can do it once a year. Especially since his sister had given him the ticket because other appointments had thwarted her plans and she couldn't fly. Cool, really easy, free ticket, you can get up early. At the counter he was told that his flight was unfortunately overbooked and that he had to take the next one. No problemo, he said, I'm in no hurry. Yes, that's how he lived his life: everything in peace, everything easy. It's better to accept what you encounter instead of enforcing something, just don't stress! He still had time, he strolled around, drank another cappucino and waited to be called. He slouched in his chair and leafed through his new ticket: "Flight no. RXH 12, wow, cool, 12 is my lucky number." WITH THANKS TO CARLA BELTEMPO FOR PERMISSION TO USE ON ARTMAJEUR.
