Here’s the two-week report: 500+ flights planned and/or overseen. 11 shifts. 1 air turnback due to a bird intake. 1 weather diversion (thunderstorms in Houston). 1 very busy day (Dallas desk with thunderstorms near Houston plus a problematic charter flight). 1 overtime shift. 10 fairly easy and calm days (counting the bird intake day as a calm one). $1 million+ worth of fuel consumed. I’m having a great time!

In other news, Jenny and I have gotten much better about working out. The trick was putting a calendar on the fridge and recording the days we work out on it. If we miss several days, the calendar shows a big gap and makes us feel bad. =) We saw a great movie Saturday night called Hoodwinked. It’s very funny and clever, the voice acting is great, the computer graphics are well-done, and it’s just a fun movie. I’ll be done with my labor relations class in about a month. Despite my apprehension going into it, I must say I’ve learned a lot from the class, and I’m better off for taking it. I’m still not a big fan of unions, but I better understand their value and purpose. It’s easy to forget that not all companies treat their employees as well as Southwest does.
