Do Work

The time has come to do work. The four and five day long vacations that are frequent and enjoyable during training are pretty much done as far as I use to know them. The new four and five day vacations will be while I sit and baby sit my phone during my on call period for reserve.

Some how I was lucky enough to get called yesterday evening, before my on call period (of which I of course did not answer), and alerted via voicemail to check eTrip and to acknowledge at some point that I had been assigned a ready reserve period for tomorrow.

So here I am - enjoying *sarcasm* sitting at the airport. Fortunately, they actually have something for me. Appears to be a round trip from Atlanta to Lexington and back. It'll be interesting to see what happens after I get back in from Lexington - be it they release me, or have me finish sitting out my ready reserve period, or even have me continue to sit for an additional 2 hours after my ready reserve period ends so that I can fly another trip that is within that 2 hour window.

Who knows. . .time will tell. . .

Oh - yeah. . .I'm done alright.

Yeah, IOE finally did start, and IOE is finished. Has been for some time now.

Sorry for no update otherwise.

Enjoying it so far, and looking forward to what the next few months and year bring to the industry.
