RE: The im at work, and want to go flying Thread
6am: Hit snooze until 6:30am
6:30am Go do the 3 "S's" (Shave sh$^% and Shower
6:55am: look outside and consider calling off work
7:00am: leave for work but have at least one plane in the truck
7:30am: Start testing firewall products, involves running automated testing
7:45am: Hop on RCU
11:30am: head for the field
1:00pm: Back at work, start reading over testing results
3:00pm: back in my office to answer any emails reagrding testing results
3:45 to 4:00pm: head to the field
4:15pm: start flying my butt off
7:30pm: head home
9:00pm: Eat and either do work on planes or watch a good movie
11:00pm Bed
And that's when I have a busy day. If the automated tests take more than one day, and most do, I'll spend the day on RCU, or researching information on the products I have in test (but mainly be on RCU). Wednesdays are usually reserverd for meeting almost all day. The meeting we have are usually pretty good as meeting go and in almost all cases there is usually someone talking about flying in one form or another.
I'm lucky, we get 200 hours a year to use as we please, We are also required to give 40 hours of time to a charity of our choice. I use those 40 hours to work with the Make a wish foundation giving the kids stick time on R/C planes. My work also supports my hobby to a degree since most of the upper management up to and including the CEO's are all full scale pilots with commercial ratings.
