NO REAL GOALS APART FROM FINISHING OUR SHIFT
erm.. not sure about that. Personally, my goal is to make sure that those bits of metal in the sky that transport people (including you i'm sure) don't bump into each other- but maybe thats a silly view.
as for boring- to be honest I'll agree the job isn't for everyone but how someone who works in an office 48 weeks a year can claim that air traffic is boring is beyond me- guess horses for courses though.
Frank Disclosure- I'm guessing you work for NATS- glad that you hold such contempt for the people who do the job that this company was set up for. If ATC is that bad why are you still working for NATS- I'm sure there are other office jobs that would mean you'd never have to come into contact with us nasty, scruffy ATCOs.
