To save you some of your valuable time I’ll paraphrase – I’m incredibly bored. The rest of this post will consist solely of me griping about it. Ok, get on your bike and go on your way.
I rely on work to make me feel happy. When we have weather that keeps the planes grounded, as we have the last few days, there is little work to keep me occupied. As a result, I am no longer a happy camper. On a normal day people see me as a grumpy, cynical, curmudgeon. On a day that is filled with work they see me as a cynical wise ass. Last night I spent a few hours re-parking trailers – oh the joys! Most people have not had the opportunity of backing a trailer and if they do score a chance it probably does not have any steering system (campers, semi trailers etc). These are incredibly easy to park – incredibly easy. I could park one right up your… fill in the blank. We fight a different beast because we park trailers with a front steering system – much like the wagon that was always hooked to the tractor when I was a kid. They are extremely heavy and often need to be parked in gravel – deep gravel. This can make the job quite interesting. If you don’t get enough speed you’re bound to get bogged down and all progress will stop. We used to have a 4 wheel drive tug but its been out of commission for a while so we’ve been stuck with the real wheel drive model – it doesn’t help me finish my quest. Moving trailers has been the highlight of my night. The rest of the time I sat around looking for something to do – I’m not in a reading mood and the internet has lost all of its luster.
If we were killing more terrorists/insurgents/whatever the pentagon calls them I would be much happier – solely because I would have something that would occupy my time. Writing this utterly pointless blog post gave me something to do for five minutes – and for that I am grateful. Unfortunately, my creativity is at a low at the moment so you’re only going to get a drawn out version of I’m bored
I hope that cured your boredom for 26 seconds – if not – welcome to the club
