AirwickWithCheese Posted September 18, 2015 Share #9 Posted September 18, 2015 ... Three cheers for Wilbur. #livingthedream My situation is very similar to Wilbur's. On my draft night, I have 2 hours to report for duty. I hop in my cabriolet and drive across town. There are no women in heels or large sacks of money waiting for me but sometimes I have an entire night where someone doesn't promise to kill me someday. #IwatchASMR 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted September 19, 2015 Share #10 Posted September 19, 2015 I have an entire night where someone doesn't promise to kill me someday. #IwatchASMRThat there above makes a whole lotta something. Not sure what, cause I'm tired, my joints ache, and I'm kinda old, but there is something there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted September 19, 2015 Share #14 Posted September 19, 2015 Is that how this thing usually works? Nobody local enough that they have to send you in from god knows where in Canada? Is it always super-last notice, too? What is the story?I thought you were in Vancouver, is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirwickWithCheese Posted September 19, 2015 Share #15 Posted September 19, 2015 Wilbur works at the QT in Memphis. Sometimes when he works a double shift we get grandiose stories about flying jets to Monte Carlo, etc. Wilbur has been with the QT 32 years this Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it always super-last notice, too? What is the story? I thought you were in Vancouver, is this correct? Nope, not how things work for us but I was pimpin' myself out to another company. I am from Vancouver, but live full time in Toronto. Family is still in Van and my summer home is in BC as well. One foot in each place I guess.

Further Posted September 19, 2015 Share #22 Posted September 19, 2015 At the local airport last fall buying avgas to put in my motorcycle for winter storage, I overheard a couple from the more exclusive side of town. Waiting for their plane to be prepped, talking about the nights itinerary; Fly to Philly, dinner, show, fly home (near Pittsburgh), "Now where is that damn pilot"I'm sure keeping that clientele happy has it moments.
