G'day Luke
SuperIT,
Cheap thrills? No.
I still don't get why you're trying to big up yourself? Yesterdays work? No, I've never had to write crew reports/ASR/MORs the day after. No, never.. Never had to explain what happened to management. No.. not ever once..
About this time thing. If you don't get whatever you do done, then what? Hmm? Can I put off the landing until tomorrow just because I am too busy dealing with something? What could I be dealing with? ooh let's see. Trying to negotiate a permit to land via the Sat phone. I don't have the luxury of time either. I have to get it done now. Tomorrow's too late.
You might well think I have a poor understanding of what an IT person does. You're probably right. However, I don't go to the PITSRN (see above) site and bang on about what a legend I am because I can manage stress. BTW, this is my second career too so I do know what the so called real world's like.
