Pilot vs. Inspector

Zack's work life is so different from mine. This is probably pretty obvious, but I thought I would share some differences I noticed while reflecting on this past week. While there are pros and cons to each job, sometimes I'm pretty jealous of his (but I definitely have the more cush government job).

Zack got to fly to Arkansas, OKC, Kansas, and everywhere in between this week.
I stayed mostly downtown Enid where I met some mice and had a panic attack (almost to the point of hysteric tears) in front of my crew. 
*note, I then had to bother Zack at work to cry on the phone once no one else could see me. pathetic-I know.

Last weekend Zack brought me back the most delicious toffee from some airport in Colorado. 
I not only ate all the toffee but also ate all the other bad stuff that is always in our office! I wish it were easier to say no to cinnamon rolls...oh, and pie...and... 
*note, this is why I'm always tired at work...I'm forced to wake up at o'dark thirty to workout before I get to the office and am greeted by these temptations

Zack completed his last instrument sim. I completed...well, nothing really.

Zack's job worked the complete opposite hours of mine for the fifth week in a row. You heard that right, five solid weeks of a night-flying schedule. *fingers crossed to a new schedule next Monday!

Finally, both jobs seem to drag on a Friday afternoon before we're supposed to leave town...

*note, Yes this is, in fact, the first time I noticed that our jobs probably remind everyone of Pilot Inspektor Lee. Don't worry, this won't spark any ideas for a Pilot Inspektor Pittman.
