No. Weekends are always quieter than during the week. Although these days every day is quiet.

Haha, I'm debating going home actually. I'm totally useless right now. Maybe if I head home I will find the enthusiasm to do some stuff when I get home!

I am on my phone a lot at work, but we have down time were there is simply no work to be done as the airlines haven't sent a flight...... I don't however check it while working a flight.

I'd say 50/50 split between coming to this site at work and home, not much to do at home, so internet makes the time pass.

I'm just having one of those silly days where I don't want to be at work. Work wise there are a few changes ahead which don't help matters. I need to focus again!!!

Try getting texts and pictures from twats, about the amazing fishing in English Bay this morning while they're drinking beer while you can't make a gracious and more importantly unnoticed exit until about four this afternoon knowing that the bite might well be over by then.

I feel for you Oink! You shouldn't be so successful then you could be terminated without cause and spend your days fishing!!! You didn't plan that out too well did you!!

Thank you, it is nice to know someone understands. I don't get much sympathy from colleagues, HID or actaully anyone I've met in person. Still only a few minutes from now I'll be throwing off the old suit and tie and donning a tee shirt and some questionable Bermuda shorts and zipping out to the mouth of the Capilano river where not only can I fish for monsters, but can dock at Ambleside and nip up to the grown-up pop shop.

Is there a DUI equivalent for boating?

Also if you see a Sharknado situation can you post pics?

We used to have a boat in NS. The rules were slightly different there...

Yes, of course the alcohol is strictly reserved until we're securely tied up at the dock.

There are those same rules that Oink mentioned in St Margarets Bay. You have to keep all your beer cans out of sight just in case you are seen
