I waaaaaant sleeeeeeeeeeeep.

I'd settle for brains, since I seem to be short on those as well, but sleep, my goodness, SLEEEEEEP.

I've reached a stalemate with some technical questions at work, and I'm stuck waiting for responses from a few people. If it wouldn't be such a poor idea around the office, I'd just put my head down on my desk and nap.

O sleep! O gentle sleep!
Nature’s soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?

Except it will, just not ENOUGH. Sleeeeeeeeep...

Fingers crossed

Today rfrench is taking his FAA check flight for the Airline Transport Pilot rating.

All day so far I've made sure to avoid sending him text messages asking how he's doing. I figured that's the last thing he'd need. So far I've been good! I haven't heard a thing, either, which likely means he passed the oral exam and is probably flying now. Or maybe the examiner is still asking truly evil questions.

If there's any cancellation or continuation for any reason at all, it's going to be awfully difficult for him to reschedule. His aircraft goes down for annual on December 1 and the validity of his having passed the written test will expire in December. So while he shouldn't particularly need luck to pass the checkride, severe bad luck could still cause trouble: examiner coming down with food poisoning, plane having a sudden flap control failure... anything really. Fingers crossed.

edit: He passed! Yay!
