Requiescat in Pace

Well, it is the beginning of the end. I am a real, full-time, salaried slave….er, “employee” as of today, Tuesday, July 1, 2008.

I took the plunge and am now flying my jet job as a full-timer and not as a contractor anymore. Good news, I get paid when I don’t work. Bad news, they don’t like it when you don’t work.

I was really hoping that I would not have to work on my first day, but I got the call and had to fly to New Mexico. Left at 7am, back by 1pm. I guess I cannot really complain about having to fly a jet on my first day!

Jen knew of my struggle to accept becoming a lowly employee rather then being the boss and decorated the house appropriately for my return – black balloons, black streamers and a sympathy card which read “Much sympathy…thinking of you during this difficult time.”

I have the coolest wife ever! (no offense to you other wives out there.)
