Default My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize General Aviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil

I'm on a salary, I just work and work (no matter what Jay says about
Federal workers).


When you're doing what you want to do, and you love doing it, it's not
really "work".

I do get comp time, but somehow getting a Thurday off
doesn't really make up for working a Saturday night, if you know what I
mean.


Hey, Thursday (when I actually get it off) is my "Sunday". I *love*
having non-weekend days off -- no crowds anywhere.

And I work *every* Saturday, so suck it up!

:-)

I do get to do some really cool stuff, meet really great people,
and I have an SR-71 outside of my office, so that's a plus!


There you have it. We do what we do for the perks, not the pay...

But all the fly-ins are on Saturdays ...

And, I'll bet you don't get to make many fly ins since most are geared
to folks that have Sat/Sun off work...that would be the BIG downside for
me!!
