You should have told me earlier. I needed a break. >1200 hours in one year was a lot for me!I will trade you for 3.5 months of non-flying as a CFI due to lack of students.

If it's 5:30am and we're in the van to the airport, I'm not ready to do anything except sip my coffee and stare out the window as my body slowly wakes itself up. I don't want to hear about how you traded some trip for an extra three hours of pay. I don't want to hear about your *%^&ing cats. I don't want to hear about what the airline was like when you were hired into the DC-3. There's a reason everyone else in the van is dead silent. My FO is about to open the van door and toss himself onto the interstate to end the pain. Holy crap - please please PLEASE shut the **** up!
Sigh...is FedEx hiring?
Still no students. Trying hard to get a full-time job somewhere. I can't do this full-time CFI thing again. I am about bankrupt.You should have told me earlier. I needed a break. >1200 hours in one year was a lot for me!
Oh I thought you were just making a please delete problem solved sequel threadI really like the new forum software, but it does have on annoying feature. For some reason I seem to be accidentally clicking on the wrong forum when I post a reply.
I just turned @SixPapaCharlie's Bravo thread into another Pet Peeves thread.
So this is what I have to look forward to?!
I'm the same way though. Let me wake up and I'll talk when I'm ready.Haha! You'll be having so much fun, I don't think you'll even notice. I'm just getting ornery in my advancing age.
Initial call up, upon frequency change. What is the rush??
Just wait a bit! In fact, if they really want you, they will ask for you!
Have a sip of water! Ponder the clouds! Take another drag on your stogie! But for gawd's sake, don't trample the ongoing conversation!

People who call a yaw damper a yaw dampner
...or a baby?
I don't understand. What is "delicious smelling?" Are you saying he/she smelled like bacon?
Autospell - Krispy Kreme became "Crispy Cremated"...gotta be careful with the smart phones folks.

We were all working 60 hour weeks designing state-of-the-art software that would knock your socks off.
Just describing what is next after you eat that junk.
Ooh new pet peeve: Lack of longevity in software usefulness / Software re-writes / Forced upgrades / Rental software.
People whining that they didn't come to Oshkosh. Just get your butt here.
That seems like a really strange attitude on your part.It happened again last night. I'll be mowing or trimming along the sidewalk and someone, usually a young mom with a baby or group of children, will continue to walk toward where I am working even though they have ample opportunity to cross the street to the other sidewalk. I'm talking slow residential neighborhoods where people are just out for a walk. If I am hot or tired or just feeling ornery sometimes I will keep spewing grass and debris, forcing them to do he right thing.
Last night was a mom about 22 or so with a baby and two toddlers. I've got the trimmer going full throttle and see them keep walking toward the debris flying. I stopped while they meandered by. and again on their return pass. I was fuming inside. But she was wearing Daisey Dukes so smiling on the outside.
I walk a lot, daily in fact, and when I see the lawn service guys working a yard, I get out into the street or move to the other side. So I can understand his POV a little.
Well yes, I do too, but not for their convenience. Most lawn service guys I have seen just want to cut the grass quickly and be gone. Never mind that there is something like a brand new car sitting in the driveway that they cover with grass clippings or something like a gas meter in the way. Time is money and to heck with anything that is in the way.
I fired my lawn crew and I noticed they still mowed this week.
They are the George Costanza of landscapers I guess.

You're right that we have to move as quickly as possible. And we have all seen bad crews do stupid things, like shoot grass on cars, into the street onto house siding, tear up vinyl siding with the trimmer line, dig ruts when the turf is soft, etc. It's hard work and we're hot and drenched and when common sense fails people and it slows US down, well, sometimes we'll vent in the pet peeves thread.Well yes, I do too, but not for their convenience.

What is this "lawn" thing of which you speak?
