Target

in

If you catch yourself asking, "What should we do on a Saturday night," and have no idea, go to the local Target and look at a Wizard comic pricing guide, video games, and get supplies for your hotel room. That's exactly that I did tonight. Exciting eh? Yesterday, I got the chance to see what everyone was talking about when I went to the Muvico Movie Theater. It felt like I was in Ceasars palace or something because of all the towering pillars. We watched X-Men 3 and even got some good seats within 20 minutes of show time. Good stuff. Of course, someone was there a little earlier to save us some seats, but not like a whole lot earlier. Good times...but the movie...it was alright. Better than what I expected, go check it out. MI3 was good too by the way.

My last two weeks at Focus Air constitutes me auditing Flight Trip Envelopes. It is a tedious and arduous job, but someone has to do it and that job has now been assigned to me. I don't mind it at all. I just hate basically ratting out the crew that missed things here or there. We are doing an amazing job too with accuracy and consistenacy. There are so many flights each day and so many folders. Overall, this means that we are doing really well!!!

I'm hoping to start working on the CASS Implementation program for Focus Air this upcoming week when the software comes in from Ameriflight. They developed a great program that could be leased out to others and implemented readily with some minor adjustments here are there. I'm really looking forward to spear heading that project. More or less, I want that to be my legacy. =) Sounds corny, but it is a big thing. CASS, otherwise known as Cockpit Access Security System consists of a way to validate a pilots employment on a domestic airline and provide them the seat in a cockpit of a commuting flight when no other seats are left in the cabin. It's convienient to pilots and I hope that it happens soon.

I've been doing a lot of overtime which is definitely a good thing for me monetary wise, but I have been burning myself out lately. I slept today till 12 Noon and then decided that I might as well catch another hour. I ended up getting 3 more. I'm doing some laundry at my friends house and just enjoying a quiet evening. Tomorrow will be interesting as there is nothing really that I have to do. I'll probably just read up more on the CASS programming and get started in assigning positions, etc. There's a lot to be done!!!

I can't tell you how much I am falling in love with this company. I mean, working there everyday with everyone all happy and just doing the right thing to make this company successful is a good feeling. I can only hope for the best. It's almost been a month since I started!!! Crazy!!!

Baadie and her graduation

in

So, this past friday, my girlfriend graduated from SDSU with her Master's in Public Health. Good stuff eh? She's planning on going to more schooling to become a nurse so that's cool and all, but it does have a drawback in that we would be switching coasts. I mean, it'll be all good once I start flying anyways, so maybe it'll all work out.

I flew here on Southwest with only two stops along the way to SD. From FLL to JAX then to Nashville, then SD. It wasn't that bad of a flight at all and I must say that the landings were great.
I'm going to be heading back home to the Hampton Inn in a couple of hours (more like 6) and just start up another exciting week at work! More auditing, but I should be done soon. I'm very excited for the next project that I'm going to be taking over.

Congrats to Manoj for getting hired at Focus Air. It's going to be an awesome year. You learn so much and as long as your interested and never rest, you're going to always have your hands full. I'm loving it already!
