There was a contractor at a well known bank in the UK (many years ago) where the pressure was on - late nights being worked, stress stress stress. There were no signs prior to him being found, at midnight, on the top of the (20 stories or so) building, naked, howling at the moon. He took some time off.

I'm wondering what the signs are

When you dread getting out of bed in the morning because it's a work day... When you feel the need to cry yourself to sleep at night, or self medicate with alcohol... When you dread Sunday evenings because Monday is the start of the working week... When you sigh instead of get excited by having to work late, again...

What sort of Pilot? Palm Pilot, Pontius Pilot, Pilot Whale, Pilot Hole. Sorry getting silly now. BTW did you ever find a source for the gloves you were looking for?

My first choice would be to become a teacher. The few times I've filled that role, I've really enjoyed it. My second option would be technical writer. I'm reasonably good at it, and like it enough that I could do it for a living. It's a little difficult to imagine circumstances that would render my programming skills unemployable and yet would leave the rest of my faculties intact.

Yes, I do now own a pair of gloves. Yet I am only here for two more weeks ... and then maybe six in January. This kind of pilot: http://www.pilotcareercentre.com/APilotsLifeDetail.asp?APLID=124[^]

I'd roam the Texas hill country absolutely naked and make a name for myself...

Oooooooh! me too. Although the only experience I have is with that there Flight Stimulator, as my dear departed mum used to call it.

I became a real pilot in August. A few hundred more hours and I will be a legal commercial pilot. It will be fun.

Jolly well done Fraid it's too late for me. Eyes shot, Knees crumbling, mind going. Now where was I? Why am I standing in the kitchen with the fridge door open and the cat in my hands?

Thanks guys. Your responses have been the usual mix of honesty and humor I've come to enjoy here on CP.
