Scoop 0 #4 March 17, 2007 All is good here thanks, I hate waiting too. Once my duties are sorted and I actually know what I'm supposed to be working I'll book another trip to Emp. I need to have a good week where I can just consistantly jump else I'm never going to improve or get the jumps in (see PM) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinkfairy 0 #5 March 17, 2007 Welcome to the sport of skydiving. You can generally expect about 95 % waiting, 4% packing, and 1% jumping. And that includes the airplane ride. (Edited for spelling).Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you?

kingbunky 3 #7 March 17, 2007 you know what sucks even worse than the weather? CONTINENTAL AIRLINES!!! first, my flight to florida is canceled. not their fault, i know, it's the weather. but, i go to their website to find out how to reschedule, and it's down. i try calling their 1-800 number (several of them actually) and i'm told that my wait time is approximately 235 minutes. 4 hours!!! i try another number. 'over 30 minutes'. i try another one, i get a busy signal. wtf?!?!"Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."

Also notice jumping opportunity, not that many of them in Oslo. Not my cup of tea, and no airplanes here, so ground for me...Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet.
