Finally Friday!!

This is just one of those Fridays where I just don't feel like being at work. I've been here for 2 hours and have accomplished absolutely nothing but getting some good surfing time in. LOL! I think I am just tired. Stopped by the Doc's office this morning to find out why I have been getting headaches for the last couple of weeks. Tension. LOL, well I did know I was under a whole lot of stress. I love my Doc! His advice, "Go get a massage and relax!" That and a script for a muscle relaxer. But since I hate taking medication, I am going to pass on that for now. But at least I know what is causing it and reassurance they were not an indication that migraines might be coming back. Those just suck!

So since I have been here at work, I have had no motivation at all. Zero. So I spent some timesurfing my old frat's website. I can't believe how long ago that was. I wasn't out in college. But still had some fantastic times back then. Part of me really misses school. Things were a lot different back then. No stress. I was never the type that had to study a lot. Usually just crammed the night before a test and that was it. Spent most of my time out of school flying airplanes (I am a licensed pilot), riding broncs (grew up rodeoing) and way too much time partying with my frat brothers. I graduated with my bachelor's in Aviation Mgmt and Human Resource Mgmt. When I finally went back to do some post grad work, I ventured off into Industrial Engineering which is the field I am still in. How many times have we looked back at the paths we have chosen and wondered where we would be if we had taken a different fork in the road. All in all I am pretty happy with the route I took. I come from an airline family and have gone through two bankruptcies. Not the best industry to be in right now. The pay is still very good for pilots. I mainly chose engineering because the starting pay with the airlines just sucks. I had a large student loan to pay off and simply couldn't live on the low amounts they were paying new hires. Though my work now tends to get stressful at times, I don't have to travel near as much and I get paid pretty comparable to what I would be getting paid had I chose to stay in the cockpit (I still love that word. Wonder why?). And, since I keep up my proficiency, anytime I get the urge to go cloud punching, I can still do that.

Well, I guess I should try to get SOMETHING accomplished here today so that's it for now.
