The Engineer (retired)

Did you ever just want to give someone a valium? That is Will. He gets so hyper over nothing. There will be two people in line, and he is running around like a maniac.
He also wants to know WHY.
"Why is the computer entry set up like this?... it doesn't make sense, it should be this way."
"Will, I don't know. I didn't write the program. You just have to do it the way it set up."

"Why does it take so long for the paperwork to come out of the printer?"
"I don't know Will, it just does."

If EVERYTHING is not spelled out in the correct order, it drives him crazy! and he thinks that everyone should do the same thing the same way... or he will ask WHY?

I bet he drove his parents crazy as a kid.

Job interview tips

The manager at our station was telling us about a job interview. Keep in mind that we really need to hire people.
The girl he interviewed today... first of all she wore pants that were way too tight, but he would have overlooked that.
When you go for a job interview, try not to use phrases such as "like you know" after ever sentence.
The phrase that really did it was she actually said "AS IF!"
He did not want to hire a Valley Girl.

Blonde Agent

  Posted by Picasa

The Blonde Agent

We hired a new agent. Yes she is blonde, but not just physically. We have several "blonde" agents at the station, but this woman is the most "BLONDE" person I have ever met in my life.
As I have said before, on the ramp we do the same thing everyday! After working for about two weeks you would think that she would at least kind of get it. But no, she will move equipment so that it is obviously in the way of something else.
She will do the one thing that you ask her to do and then just stand there smiling.
After we push the aircraft back from the gate:

"Peg, great job disconnecting the tow bar from the tug!" (She stands there all proud and smiling) "You might want to also disconnect it from the plane too."
(Takes off a lot better that way)

Everyone likes Peg, she is very nice and tries really hard, but she is just sooooo blonde!

It is the same thing when she flags the plane in (honestly I think she will stand there until she is told to do something else)

"OK Peg great job.. now chock the wheels and lets pull up the jetbridge so that everyone can get off the plane."
