ERRRRRRR!!!!! I’M ANGRY!!!

….AND I DON’T EVEN HAVE ANYTHING OR ANYBODY IN PARTICULAR THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT JUSTIFIES ALL THIS ANGER. NOT ONE PERSON OR THING OR CIRCUMSTANCE, BUT I THINK A BUNCH OF THEM ALL WRAPPED UP INTO ONE BIG McUNHAPPY MEAL! EEEEERRRRRRRRHHHH!!!!

I KNOW ONE THING—ONE SIMPLE OBVIOUS THING IS MY PLANE BROKE DOWN WITH SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM. I HAVEN’T FLOWN MUCH IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS, AND NOW THESE LAST FEW DAYS WHEN I COULD FLY, THE DAMN PLANE AND CAMERA SYSTEM DECIDE TO BE IDIOTS AND NOT WORK! STUPID PIECES OF CRAP! YEAH, I’M TALKING TO YOU, YOU STUPID PLANE AND CAMERAS!

NOT TO MENTION THE HASSLE OF ALL THAT, BUT THEN I HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY ANAL-RETENTIVE BOSS. I HAVE TO KEEP HIM INFORMED OF THE SITUATION. STUPID ME—I ALWAYS HAVE TO OPEN MY BIG MOUTH AND OFFER JUST ONE TOO MANY BITS OF INFORMATION, AND THEN IT INEVITABLY LEADS TO MORE BUSY-WORK FOR ME! ERRRRRHHH!!!!

I’LL BE GLAD WHEN I CAN GO HOME. I’M TIRED OF LIVING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THAT MAKES ME MAD TOO. EEEEEEERRRVVVHHH!!!!

JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO, STUPID HOTEL OWNER MAN WALKS BY MY ROOM AND SEES MY WINDOW OPEN WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON. IN HIS HORRIBLE ENGLISH (HE’S ASIAN) HE TELLS ME NO—DON’T DO THAT. ERRRRRR!!!! I’LL TELL HIM SINCE I’M PAYING $900/MONTH TO LIVE HERE AND SINCE THE A/C GUNKS UP MY THROAT AND SINUSES, I’LL PLAY THE A/C AND OPEN MY WINDOW WHEN I WANT. JUST WAIT TILL I WORK UP THE NERVE AND THEN HE CAN KICK ME OUT IF HE IS SO INTERESTED IN LOSING MY MONEY. ERRRRRR!!! DUMB GUY!

I’M SINGLE AND UNATTACHED! EEEERRRRRRR!!!!! AND NOT HAVING SEX!! ERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! ERRRRRRRRRHHHHH AGAIN!!!!

MY BOSS REPLACED ONE OF THE PILOTS THAT QUIT AND IS NOW WORKING OVER IN FT. LAUDERDALE. SOON HE WILL BE UP HERE WITH US IN ORLANDO. I LIKED JENNIFER—THE PILOT WHO QUIT. I DON’T LIKE HAVING TO WORK WITH MY BOSS BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE FEELING SOMEBODY IS LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER WITH A MICROSCOPE! ERRRRRRRR!!!!

DID I SAY I’M SINGLE AND SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED??? WELL GOOD FOR YOU!!!! EEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!

MY MINI-FRIDGE IS NEARLY BARE WITH ONLY A COUPLE PLUMS LEFT AND A BOTTLE OF ITALIAN DRESSING THAT JENNIFER LEFT WITH ME A FEW WEEKS AGO. THE LAST ONE OF THE PLUMS I TRIED EATING HAD A JELLIFIED PIT—NASTY!!! STUPID WAL-MART FOR SELLING CRAP LIKE THAT! I CAN’T STAND THAT STORE!!! I HOPE SOMEDAY THERE ARE BETTER STORES TO REPLACE THEM!!! OH, AND MY MAIN GRIPE IN REGARDS TO THE EMPTY FRIDGE—I’VE GOT TO GO SHOPPING SOON AND I HATE SHOPPING!!!!!!!!! OH MAN, DO I HATE SHOPPING!!!! ERRRRRRRR (WITH REALLY REALLY REALLY GRITTED TEETH)

I’M HUNGRY AND THERE IS NOTHING TO EAT HERE EXCEPT NASTY PLUMS, ITALIAN DRESSING, CRACKERS, BREAD GRAPEFRUIT JUICE, GATORADE, AND POP! ERRRRR!!!!

I WOULD GO OUT AND EAT NOW BUT I’M GOING OUT SOMEWHERE LATER TO EAT AND WATCH THE NBA FINALS GAME. SO, NOW I’M JUST HUNGRY!!!

DEEP BREATH…..WELL, ACTUALLY IT WAS ONLY A SEMI-DEEP BREATH…..

Hmmm…..okay, well I’m feeling just a little better now. Maybe the world isn’t so bad after all. I do have Taco Bell sauce packets to go with the crackers for a delightful late afternoon snack. And those packets have funny little sayings and lines on them now. That’s fun. And as for sex, I’m sure it’s overrated in my mind. If it’s not, don’t tell me. Just let me think that. As for work—that’s still a pretty big “errrrrrrrhhh!!!” But I’ll manage. I probably only have a month or two left on this job anyway before I get a better flying job that can cause me to go “eeerrrrrrrrhhh!!” So, why sweat it too much? What else was I complaining about? I don’t quite remember; maybe that was all…….the mechanic just called about my plane. Why can’t things ever be simple?? Mechanic told me the alternator and regulator seem to be working just fine except that the terminals on the alternator were broken. Ugh, now I’ve got to call my engineer-brain boss up and try to tell him in my limited understanding of electrical systems what the mechanic just told me. And then I’m sure my boss is going to have some idea that is going to entail screwing my evening or tomorrow up somehow. Yippee. EERRRRRRR!!!!!…….

Okay, I just left my boss a voicemail message. Maybe things aren’t so bad. It’s not like I can do anything else but sit and wait and then fly the plane and find out if it is going to work or not work. Oh, but you don’t know my boss—he has one of those minute-detail-down-to-the-micronth-of-an-inch engineer brains—and I’d bet money that he calls me tonight and IF—AND THAT’S A BIG IF—I pick it up and talk to him instead of letting him get my voicemail, HE’S BOUND TO HAVE SOME SORT OF CRAPPY IDEA THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE ME MORE HEADACHES AND WORK. EEERRRRRRR!!!!

mmmmmmmmm………..hmmmmmmmmmm……….hmmmmmmm…..I’m relaxing—don’t bother me now. Okay, back to those Taco Bell packets. I think maybe they are the solution to all my troubles this afternoon. Plus, I’m hearing thunder and seeing dark clouds. That will be nice and peaceful if we get a storm. That’ll calm my nerves…….ahhh, I’m feeling better and more at peace already : )
