Richie’s Rants!

Happy New Year! Its the statement heard most often 24 hours ago. The pessimism in me strike again! What’s so happy about the new year? What does the increase of one number on the calender signify? Nothing. It signifies nothing at all. Its the only indication that time have passed so why have so much effort being put to make the New Year celebration a successful one? Maybe its an effort to appease a grumpy old man like yours truly, but in my opinion, its just another day passing. Maybe its the anticipation of a day’s off from your boring monotonous work that people are looking forward to a New Year PLUS your annual bonuses as well. Regardless (I’ve been told that the word ‘irregardless’ is not a word at all) of the holidays, it really isn’t that much of a reason to celebrate.

Guess I must’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed today. Was supposed to go flying but I woke up feeling terribly drained & exhausted. Not only that, the cloud base was low & my waking up is an absolute vain! What an absolute crock of bull!

20 weeks in Perth and 56 flights later… That will average out about 3 flights a week. That means that at this rate I’m going, I’ll be going home on the 1st week of Jun. This is NOT good at all. Guess I better buck up. I almost forgotten how slow I might have become if I didn’t do this monthly review thing. Thank goodness I did. That means I can’t AFFORD to do 3 flights a week. I would reckon at least one flight per 2 days is right up my alley. Sigh. Curse the duties that get piled up. Absolutely F-ing HATE it. It detracts me from my flying.

Grumpy start to a New Year. Great… Lets see how it works out. I’m looking forward to going back to a place called Singapore. Only then will my mood perk up, I figure… On to life then.
