I'm off to the airshow in Southport.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

I have just been told I'm having a flying lesson tomorrow - bought as a 'surprise' for me. A surprise indeed, as I hate being a passenger in a proper, big commercial aircraft, let alone having to be in control of some flying tincan.

Originally posted by doodab View PostYou'll love it. It feels much more like flying than being in a big plane, if that makes sense.
When I flew to Oz, I was quite nervous on boarding, but tried to keep a lid on it as per. As we buckled up, my ex was trying to talk some sense into me, as the nice air stewardess lady came round doing her pre-flight checks. She noticed my pale, sweaty face, and bent down to ask if I was Ok. I mumbled that I wasn't, but would be fine, and she insisted on kneeling down to try to talk me round. Mortifying. She kept pressing me on why I felt so worried, until I was forced to spell out to her that her logic wasn't going to work on my ever vivid imagination.
I tried to quietly explain to her that the problem was, I could vividly imagine a fireball ripping up the middle of the plane, people being whipped away through holes in the side of the plane, and the rest of us hurtling down to our deaths. I think I scared the kid in front of us quite badly.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
