Thursday, September 9, 2010
I would like to say it was Friday but Thursday it is.
Airplanes.... Ugghh. I am around airplanes at least 6 days a week. That kind of crap happens because my significant other owns an FBO. He lives and breathes airplanes and loves it. Me---- I hate flying because I get motion sickness and I feel all claustrophobic. One day (because he did not believe I get motion sickness in an airplane) he took me out on the compass rose to swing the compass on a Cessna 206. It was about 95 degrees outside and my job was to write down all of the information. So we go out there, there is absolutely no air flow and he starts spinning the airplane around to get his info, after about 2 minutes I said "ummm not feeling so good". Went inside and couldn't get my head to stop spinning for about 2 hours. At least he now believes me....
Also I wish I actually had the luxury of owning an airplane. What kills me is that the people who owns airplanes actually complain a lot about of the cost of maintaining their plane. I mean there are actually A LOT of rules that must be followed such as an annual inspection, must have a transponder, ELT battery, etc, etc. My other says (and everyone else in the aircraft maintaining business) says if you want to make money don't go into the aviation business. It is sad but true. Ever since he opened this business, his salary has went down probably $30,000 to $40,000 per year. If it were me, I would have ran away screaming but he loves it so much. So I being the awesome chick that I am works 3 jobs.... Now you may be saying to yourself "3 JOBS?????" but let me explain. I do the bookkeeping for his business (I hate this with an absolute passion - I don't mind handling my money but this job can pretty much kiss my ass) and I also work for two universities from home doing cancer research. So don't cry for me, I can go to Walmart or run home at anytime on Monday-Thursday. On Fridays, I actually have to drive to one of the universities - a 3hour round trip.
So anyway I mainly support us which is just fine. We live a country area where we get all sorts of wildlife in our yard (deers, skunks, coyotes, snakes, raccoons, possums, peacocks....). I love our house (it came with a hot tub which I cannot live without) and I love our pets and the town is okay.
Every time I go to "big city" on Friday, I crave being back in the country. Too much traffic, too much noise, and too many rude ass people (which will probably be the subject of my next posting).
