skybytch 273 #1 December 5, 2003 *Warning - this is a whiney post. Read at own risk.* I woke up kinda early this morning and stepped out for a smoke. After days of funky winds and clouds I was quite happy to find a beautifully clear and calm morning unfolding in front of me. My heart started to go pitterpat as I looked at the non-moving tree branches and cloudless sky... "I have cash," I was thinking, "and I have someone working today so I don't have to sit in the store all day long. Yay! I'm gonna jump today!!" I hurried up and got the stuff I needed to get done today done. By 10am I had it finished and was ready to run to manifest with a fistful of cash. Then my employee decided he needed to go to Staples this morning (I'd go, but my van still needs a fuel pump so I don't trust it outside the city of Sebastian... and the closest Staples is in Vero). Okay, I can wait til after noon to jump, no big deal. He called Staples to see if they had the ink for the fax machine that we need; they were unloading the truck that the ink was on and said they'd call back and let him know when it was ready. Again, no biggee, they'll call back before noon right? It's 2:30 now. They still haven't called back. It's raining. And my employee has decided to take the rest of the day off since it's so slow... I so wanted to get a few jumps in today so I'm not totally rusty for the canopy control course this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oooh, and it's so much warmer than it's going to be tomorrow too! Bummer. Have fun with Scott's class. Give him a smack on the ass and tell him it's from me.

turtlespeed 226 #6 December 5, 2003 He decided that he needed to go to staples? Who's the boss here? Fire his ass! That's an inexcusable offence, preventing you from jumping.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverbrian 0 #7 December 5, 2003 I'm right there with ya, sweetie. Spent 3 hours watching the clouds roll by at Deland before I came home to paint the bathroom. Now I've got paint all over my hands and arms and even in my hair. Too bad there's no one here to bathe me. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
