busy

 I know I only 3 days a week, but I can't believe how busy I am nowadays.  And I'm sad that the summer is almost over.  My job is really stressful now because the company I work for recently won the United contract.  We now do all three airlines at our little airport.  Of course, we don't have enough personnel to do the job.  And to make things worse, we found out that the fly-by-night company I work for is closing shop the end of this year.  So, I'll work for a different company at the end of the year.  I really don't care as long as I still have my flight benefits.  I hope I get a different station manager, however.  I've never had a worse boss in my life.  Retaliation gets old after a while (never mind, it's illegal.).

I finally got to go away to training.  Pete and the kids went to the Pacific Northwest for a few days and then the kids went to Arkansas to stay with my family for about 10 days.  The kids had a blast and said they liked going down there without us.  Maybe we can do it next summer? 

The famous "Bean" in Chicago.  We did get to go to the city regularly while I was away at training.  It sort of looks like a sombrero.  He he.
