I was just starting to get the hang of things! They took me off of my load team and made me the dispatcher. So I started from Block 1 again. The dispatcher position is even more difficult than the job I working on load team 3. I have a little confidence dispatching that I got from helping out my girls at EGUSD. The trick is to understand how the whole system works, so as far as learning about my job out here it’s a really good deal. The problem is, the guy training me leaves here really soon so I think there’s a lot of “learning it the hard way” scenarios ahead of me.
We had quite a few problems today. I swear last week (when I wasn’t dispatcher) it ran a lot smoother. Everything from oil leaks to aircraft malfunctions have taken place in the last 24 hours. I guess it’s the best way to learn though. When things go wrong out here a lot of the southern folk like to say “SWEET JESUS!” Oh man you already know that I was bustin’ up. I’m telling you, I’m in a movie.
Chicken was great today as always.
My friends and I decided that I’d use my southern accent when dispatching over the radio. Apparently it doesn’t sound very southern.
We got off work later than usual due to all the craziness and mishaps that went down at the end of our shift. I was stressed, tired, and even sad.. so I did what needed to be done and had a bowl of strawberry ice cream. The mashed potatoes for dinner tasted really bad, just FYI.. the worst I’ve ever had.
I planned on running afterwards but I was mentally exhausted from all the dispatch so I took I shower and went to sleep extra early. I slept in a little later as well and didn’t get to work on time for my pre-work workout. I’m SLACKING. I’ll get the hang of it here and dispatch and ill be right back on top of my game. Maybe I’ll get to play that ugly kid in basketball again and actually win this time. Alrighty folks!

this may sound like a typical mom but how come your bunk is so neat and your mom says your room looks like a tornado hit it. BUT I do believe you can teach a young dog new tricks and it's been said that it takes 21 days to learn a new habit so maybe this will be one of the changes we see when you get home :) Take good care and p.s. cute blue belt thing you got going there.
I have a technical question?
Exactly what resources are you dispatching? for what purpose?
Is someone asking for something and you respond?
Also... I also love the idea of free milkshakes!!! yeah! are they available 24/7?
Can you get food on a 24/7 basis?
