Jumpseat Journal

I have been a flight attendant for over six years, and have been lucky to travel around the world for both business and personal. I enjoy seeing new cultures and meeting new people who help broaden my perspective and open my mind up to new ways of thinking. Here are some of the adventures of both a full time flight attendant and a part time server at a fish restaurant.

I am in PDX and wake up in confusion...

OMG...what is that sound? Is someone locked out of their room and trying to wake the person up to let them in? Why isn't the noise stopping? Seriously what is going on its 7am and I just went to bed 5 hours ago...I still need to sleep and the noise will not end...UGH!

After 15 minutes of constant tapping or knocking, I finally call the front desk to have them send up someone to investigate the issue. I am certain some maniac is trying to brake down a door. I have already glanced in the hallway through my peephole and can't see anyone, but surely this must be the reason for the disturbance. The front desk lady chuckles and informs me the noise is coming from their friendly woodpecker....WTF. Apparently they h
ave a woodpecker who visits their hotel and they can't do anything about it because its an endangered animal.

I was so frustrated but luckily after I called, the bird stopped for about two hours and then like clockwork came back about every hour or two for about 20 minutes. Next time I will request a room as far away from the woodpecker as possible. Moral of the story you may think its a maniac trying to break down your neighbors door when its simply satin in the form of a bird.
