For the umpteen time in this long year, I have been slacking off my blog. And for no good reason this time. Well, actually, I was kind of busy the past few weeks. What, with the new aircraft and lots of reading and learning to do. Progress has come to a temporary stop with more emphasis being placed on other cadets. Which gave me, the single-engine ace, a chance to catch up with my single-engine hours. For once, I will be able to just enjoy the view from the top and spend a few hours going where I feel like going. Nothing beats doing that.
More on the new aircraft, although it is old (an understatement), it is a really great aircraft to fly. Everything is fast and furious. And for once, I am not thrown all over the sky with some gust. It weights 2 tonnes, which explains the "muscle" ache in my skinny arms and legs. But hey, if I can go through it, anyone can!
I am slowly stepping down from the position that I held for.. around 6 months. Although I was "voted" in to take that post, I feel quite reluctant to let go of it. Call me power-hungry. Maybe that is why I can't wait to see newbies squirm in their seats when I am at the other end of the questioning. But, that will be in due time. Meanwhile, the new guy is slowly taking over my duties. One by one. Don't want to put undue stress on him all of a sudden. I wish him good luck. It will be a tough one.
The roommate is finally going to leave next week. That leaves me with a single room that I hope to enjoy for at least 2 weeks. After which, I am sure I will be bunking in with either TwoDoorsUp or some newbie shipped across from Singapore.
"When is Roommate going back to Singapore" the significant other asks.
"Next week, fast huh?" I answer, expecting what is coming next.
"So fast? And you two went there at the same time right? Why are you so slow?!?!" she exclaims.
Now, that is the million dollar question.
I have many possible answers for that question:
(i) I love planning too much and I can't bear to leave it. I want to plan more!
(ii) What? Leave this place in summer? Summer is when the girls don't wear anything! Leave now? No way!
(iii) I keep getting bumped off. Which, on second thoughts, is not possible since I am, was, THE planner. I kid, as far as I remember, I never abused my position.
(iv) My boss loves me too much and he can't bear to let me go to the east before him.
a) (i) only
b) (i) and (iv)
c) (ii) and (iii)
d) (iv) only
Speaking of the boss, I think he really is going to be there before me.
