Turns out, finding casters that will fit in the J-rail bogey slots on this chair is a lot more difficult than I thought. I may have to fabricate an entire base for this thing to turn it into an office chair.

So next week I start back school. I had to sign up for a second class for my financial aid to kick in, so we're doing two now! Also found out my AP/IB scores should still count so that's gonna save me so much money. 12 years since I graduated high school. :O

So work denied my schedule shift that I began asking for over a year and a half ago so I can start school. Now they're denying me an hour early leave so I can have a meeting with my advisor for my one class per semester. 😐🤬

So, leave an hour earlier, get first class, and $35 back and an e credit? Don't mind if I do!

First run on over a year since I had gotten RSV and messed up my back again. That was tough. But, I still have it. I'm 50 pounds heavier but I'll get back to it. 😁

After skipping college to go to work to support my family, who unknown to me at the time was just abusing me, I am finally a college student at the age of 30. 😁

Does anyone with insider knowledge happen to know if any of the Air Line 757/767 fleet got the upgraded avionics package? I know a bunch got cabin refreshments but I have yet to find any information on a new avionics package.

My ride out has finally arrived. We're only about six hours late. I regret having a 4 AM wakeup now. Also my first special livery! My favorite 737. 😁

A longer day today. Up to Chicago with United then back down with Delta. At least I got the free upgrade to first class on the way back. 😁 Let's see how this weather plays out. Fingers crossed for some turbulence.

Busy afternoon in Atlanta for Approach Monitor. "Standby for approach monitor" as the PRM monitor controller dishes out a dozen directions a minute to help these planes avoid wind shear.
A screenshot of FlightRadar24 with multiple planes selected. Each plane has an approach to a runway at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and a subsequent go around or a final approach clearance cancel by the approach monitor controller.

One thing that I'm used to is "oh do you want a trading card?" No. I want to know the assumed temperature on takeoff. The crew looks at me like I'm crazy. Thankfully though, they entertain me and I'm usually pretty accurate based on hearing the engine. 😂

I got a 757 extravaganza tomorrow. Four (4!) 757 flights tomorrow. I'm so excited. I've been wanting this kind of trip for YEARS. Finally got it booked (and a reasonable price, too!) Even got a first class upgrade on the final leg. Heck yea!

It's nice coming home to my apartment and smelling the intense smell of marijuana smoke. I do not smoke. I have never participated. My neighbors on the other hand? Apparently they live in a dispensary. I don't judge those that do use, but take consideration of those that have to deal with it too.

I always enjoyed seeing Spirit Airlines flying. Their planes were always beautiful to see. The yellow and the black eyeliner goes so well. Such a sad day for aviation. Less competition in the low cost carrier market hurts ALL passengers' pockets.

I'm exhausted. My body has begun to adjust to the day shift but this week it's fallen behind. I'm yawning at noon every day and my body feels weak. Time for an unscheduled four day weekend. Need to reset myself. Didn't transition appropriately anyway last month.

So I'm on a streak. My girlfriend got me into audiobooks. I've already finished Project Hail Mary, Artemis and the Martian. The Martian movie is absolutely horrid compared to the book. That is all. That's the post. It's terrible. Couldn't even finish it.

Wrapping up my third week on day shift. I still feel jetlagged most days. My caffeine consumption has halved (down from 4-5 cans of celsius per day to just 2-3). I'm exhausted after work, and my normal 2 day weekends feel like they're 3 day weekends. I love it.
