5:45 am.... im on the road, driving to work....

6:00am... im at work, got myself logged in and ready for the day.

8:00am... im tired already of dealing with techs in the field who dont know how to hook up a computer.. im yawning because they make me come in at 6am to start the hardware roll outs early...


id much rather be flying... how about you?

8:00am - Wake up, go for shower, get dressed and have my breakfast

9:30am - Standing outside waiting for the boss to open the door, walk in and turn all computers on and prepare for the day

9:35am - Login to my computer and setup the Sales Registry

10:00am till 4:00pm - Repairing computers, serve b1tch of customers, answer phone calls, put up with the boss's crap...

During this time - Hoping the boss goes out, so i can get on RC Universe! and talk to you people...

6:00pm - Days ended and I think to myself...Ive wasted all this time when i couldve been flying

...Wakes up and does it all again.

this is my work - [link=http://www.alphazone.com.au]Alphazone Computers[/link]

6am: Get up and get dressed

6:20 am: Put the dogs out

6:30am: Let the dogs in and leave for breakfast.

7:45am: Return from breakfast and load the planes (plural) into the van.

8am: Do some work on plane(s) under repair/construction.

9am: Leave for the field.

12noon - 1pm: Return from the field and put the planes away and everything on charge.

1:30pm: If I have managed to successfully dodge the wife (and the "Honey-Do list ) go do some more work on the planes, or clean the shop, etc. If the wife has caught up with me, do what needs to be done on the "Honey-Do list".

5pm: Have supper.

6pm: Relax with FlyRC or MAN

8pm: See if there is a decent movie on tv.

Of course this all changes in case of rain.

A very dull and boring routine. [8D]

Ah yes, being retarded, I mean retired - that is the life. I do feel for you folks that haven't reached the "Golden Years" yet. Don't worry, you will eventually get there.

AWWWWW!!! So jelous []

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.

Oh sure, rub it in our faces why don't ya!!!

6:15am- roll the plane out of the hangar, preflight, check in with the home office.

6:45am- call Ft. Worth Center for beacon code, crank up, and go fly whichever pipeline patrol route I'm flying that day.

Some days I'm home by 11:30 am or noon, and I go home, get in the shop and tinker with planes, or load up and go fly.

Some days I dont get back home until almost dark or after, and I'm usually just in the mood to eat a bite and watch some TV or get on RCU. I do have three day weekends almost every weekend, though!!
