give me a job over retirement anyday!

by **h290master** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 9:31 pm

Retirement would prove to be far too boring for me i always like to do something and I would prefer a job as it would keep me busy.

Paid Retirement beats a job any day but I would have to admit that giving up flying was the hardest job I ever had.

Holiday Panic

Verb: when thousands of children and there parents try to cram themselves onto aircraft and cause delays eventually making the good hard working ATC controller become slightly suicidal.

delays are okay, see chart below

How to judge day at work for ATC

delays = all aeroplanes still on gates on ground = GOOD
fog = all aeroplanes on ground , nothing moves = GOOD
bad wx = all small aeroplanes on ground = GOOD
bad wx = all IFR spread out and on instrument approaches = OKAY
Fine weather = all aircraft in air and want to go direct and number one = VERY VERY BAD.

If number of aircraft at end of day = number at start of day ,... = WIN.
if not, but can point at someone else = WIN.
if name not on report form = WIN.
if name not in papers = WIN.
if boss does NOT know your name = WIN.
if pay still going into bank = WIN.
if ANY of above not equal win = LOSE.

Whats that ?

It is a very strenuous life, it consists very much of this intricate timeline

10-11am = wakeup
11-12am = shower
12-1pm = eat
1pm - onwards = fly or in the sim at school
5-7pm = cook and eat dinner
7-later = do what ever i feel like...

That is ofcourse if I am not flying twice that day, or any other things that will put a spanner in my works, and somedays I may go to the gym.... others i may not...

What can I say, Im living the dream :thumbup:

an hour long shower? i'd hate to see the power bill in your house

by **Brennanx** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 11:25 am

shower could take 10min and then getting dressed might take 50min?

that was a rough outline, but you get the drift......

by **brownbox** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 7:29 pm

i had NCEA lvl 1 this year. I find it easy, even though I am doing all the top courses. I am actually looking forward to exam time because it means you finish school 4 weeks earlier than everyone else! Meh, thats just me I guess
