Workin, or just an insomniac?

Or both, like me?

I work late, live in Alaska, and like to stay up. Add all those together and you can get some pretty late posts from me. As I type this, it's only 2:15am here, btw.

meh yer only an hour behind me. :p

Freakin swing shift, and there's NOTHING going on to work on right now. I allready sent most of my people home fer the night, but I gotta stay here and check tools and whatnot when the day shift gets here.

/sigh

*shrugs* Didn't know if you were on the west coast or whatnot. But yeah, I've worked graveyard before. It sucks.

Answer my PM, Len!

I mean I'm so bored, it's terrifying. I'm thinking up excuses to do work, and most of em are getting shot down my the Maintainence Control.

"can I work on the autopilot?"
No, if it breaks any more, we can't fly it in the morning

"Can I work on this plane's infra-red system, then?"
No, that plane can't have power applied to it right now

Arrrggghhhhh >.<

Offer to increase the efficiency of the warp core to 96%.

They were not amused :(

I did, however, find something to do for 20 minutes, and people are showing up for an early flight, so i'm not as bored anymore.

And I responed SX, but the SH was being real slow for me for a bit, couldn't send out a pm. actually, prolly sent ya like 6. Damn lag :( sorry 'bout that.

who's the lucky bastard who gets to fly that one?

"careful with that plane, its nearly broken. see ya after the flight!"

i got the oppisate here

SSG: hurry up and get that corrosion inspection done asap this bird might have to fly out in the morning

me: wow we have to use this one? there are 6 chinooks out there that are done and they aint duing nothin send them

You have no idea >.<

Ah, so me Innur went helos, eh? sweet. I wish I was helos, I flippin hate these archaic pieces of crap that I work on

Meh, wont let me edit due to slow network

Anyhoo, I'm still here, i'm still bored, y'all readin this better start conversin' with me.

Please don't make me sad.

*wave*

It's 1pm here! 3 hours to go until I can leave office.

4:30pm

shift ends @ 6:30, Fixed one bird's radio... that's it :(

Booooooooooored

Thankfully, one o' the flyers came in early, and his flight got cancelled, so he'd been chillin in here, and a couple people from other shops came over, and we've been tellin the newer foolkd about the good 'ol days of our 1st deployment together. The scandals, the booze, the people falling off the roof of the barracks.... ahh, the memories!

Sounds like you're having a good time.

We've got problems all over, nothing we f****ed up, but problems nontheless. Turning on the xenon lights of a headlight we are working on can trigger interference in the stepper motor control causing a reset / recalibration of the system. Which shouldn't happen :/ Stupid electro-magnetic intereference.

This is something we should have noticed ages ago, but it only happens for this special headlight of a certain car type because here the xenon ignition is closest to the control as compared to other headlights.

hahaha that's wierd, the radio problem was from EMI - the shield on the main line coming from the antenna had backed off about 2 inches from the connection, causing all sorts of static and bleedover problems.

Best part is, two different groups of people worked on this, and couldn't figure out what was wrong. I send one of the newest guys on my shift, and he notices it right away. /facepalm

Go experience and training!

u think ur working on a archaic system? for us new chinooks = old chinooks that got refitted... the corrosion factor on those things is amazing we got to do a full corrosion chek every 25 flight hrs.

but still not as loud as EA-6b prowlers but still loud none the less

Curse the "who's viewing this" list! It's turning the safehouse into a chatroom!

what car company do you work for sx?

At least this one works....

plz dont hurt me aidden, k?

BMW - although I'm not directly employed by them.

Odd, editing the title of this thread changed the title while inside the thread, but not when viewed from outside.

Interesting!

Do you think that I would give up a thread named after me that easily?

Okay, I'm not sided yet.. any offers from either of you two?

Hell, I could edit the first post to make it a discussion about pie that you completely de-railed, but I won't. So there.

Mmm... cheesecake

I like cheesecake! Gimme some!

Simple cheesecake with cherries on top, even tho I dont eat the cherries, I just like the sauce. Ususally give the cherries to someone else.

Cheesecake also goes well with Long Island Iced Tea, for some odd reason I have yet to figure out, but enjoy reasearching immensely.

It's a bit early for LIIT... gimme one in about 6-8 hours.. although I'm not sure if drinking LIITs will improve the DMing I have to do this night.

Alcohol makes everything better and more enjoyable, didn't TV teach you that?!?!?

*gets too drunk to finish this p

Better & more enjoyable for me for sure.. but for the rest of the group ?!

Hell yeah!

random encounters + Drunk DM = comedy GOLD

That, and if anyone gets uppity, you can just thwap 'em, or fling some dice at 'em.

Hm, you mean it's okay to fling a 2 inch d20 at my players?

buddy had a 5 inch d100Yeah, it hurt. But most of the time, you deserved it.

on a lighter not, I'm doin all my carry-overs, writing down all my things i need to pass down, and should be seein the next shift here in a few, and goin home in about half an hour.

Yay
