    Sounds like complaining to me. Look at it this way, you could be starving like in some places of the world. Or you could be dead. Nah, your idea of a bad day is being stuck in an airport with stewardesses. Might wanna realign that there focus to be more positive.

    I think you have got the wrong idea about offshore heliports!

      You seem to be implying that spending a few hours with stewardesses is not a distressing experience.

                  10am taxi pickup, 12:15 flight to offshore, ~13:30 make it to platform, can't land due to weather, fly to Kirkwall, re-fuel, fly to Aberdeen, sit about, cancel flight 17:30, 06:00am check-in the tomorrow. The summary of a shit day! My arse cheeks, legs, back, shoulders are all aching. The 19 passenger configuration of the Eurocopter_EC225_Super_Puma[^] has to be the most uncomfortable aircraft I have flown in. Gets home and finds my 15U 19" rack has arrived, just need to assemble the thing now. Good job men don't read the instructions, because they are of no use.

                    Saeed Abedini, Christian Pastor out of Boise, Idaho, US, who is currently being held prisoner in Iranian prisons for his Christian Faith, was taken to a hospital where he was beaten[^], causing even more injury than the reason he was taken to the hospital for in the first place. And *you* are having a S**t Day?! Gee. Enjoy your 0600 check-in tomorrow.

                    I am of simple acquaintance to Saeed's wife, Nahgmeh, having heard her speak and having prayed with her in this time of trial and persecution.

                              I wanted to say "instructions" because I don't bother to read them, too. But, I can say "men" too, because they are apparently the one I cannot use. ;) To be fair, (and that will go on the OP's post) I can say it is men. :laugh:

                                      If I treated my children like that, I would be an awful parent. :sigh: How could I teach them sympathy and empathy if I didn't treat everyone around me with the same level of respect for their feelings that I want them to feel is natural. I think you showed a lot of disrespect to someone that wasn't feeling very good, and I don't see how anyone benefits from that.

                                        10am taxi pickup, 12:15 flight to offshore, ~13:30 make it to platform, can't land due to weather, fly to Kirkwall, re-fuel, fly to Aberdeen, sit about, cancel flight 17:30, 06:00am check-in the tomorrow. The summary of a shit day! My arse cheeks, legs, back, shoulders are all aching. The 19 passenger configuration of the Eurocopter_EC225_Super_Puma[^] has to be the most uncomfortable aircraft I have flown in. Gets home and finds my 15U 19" rack has arrived, just need to assemble the thing now. Good job men don't read the instructions, because they are of no use.

                                        Wait. There's an actual town named Kirkwall? Today is off to an interesting start.

                                        What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
