atleast once every week for the next month or so. I like it. :)
So my job has been looking pretty good so far. I'm staying in a
trailer at the fire base located at the airport. It's about a five
minute drive to the building where I work, so it's not too bad. The
dispatching sounds pretty fun. Come on, what kid hasn't liked the idea
of taking over a radio to pilots and all that jazz? :D With the walkie-
talkie lingo. Yeah, it'll be sweet.
I got a tour of some tanker planes and the guiding planes. They're
epic and when they call them tankers, it's not just because they carry
a large tank of fire retardent or water. They are huuuuge and probably
really heavy to fly. It was fun talking to the pilots and the tarmac
crew, you can just feeling their excitement when they talk about their
jobs. I love that kind of passion!
Driving back and forth from home to the town I'm working in has been
alright. Except for me missing a turn and extending the drive home
about an hour. >:( Never again. And it doesn't help when The Beast is
lurching around while I'm driving for some unknown reason. But I like
driving alone and listening to the radio set to my favourite station.
It's a nice feeling.
Tomorrow I go back to the fire base. Hopefully The Beast will hold up
and not give me any problems. Stalling at every start-up is
embarassing enough! :P And hopefully I'll find more productive ways to
amuse myself as there's no internet connection at the base. I'm going
to bring my bike with me this time. I need some physical activity to
do while working an office job.
To bed! (toodles)
