The job is not in the bag yet! I passed the physicals and oral interview. Now I have to wade through the 1/2" think application and pass the pre-trip inspection and driving test, which will run about an hour plus paperwork time. Then they are talking about having me take the Smith System course (for the sixth time yet!) tomorrow so they can get me paid for the time and be sure I have been trained recently. And of course I was just through the course less than six months ago but didn't think to bring the certificate with me, and even then, that might not rescue me from having to stay awake through another four hour lecture about maintaining a space cushion and not running other cars over. Sigh. Another day at this crummy Super 8 motel.

It's all for the greater good, I keep telling myself that. And I keep looking at that airplane I want to buy. That too!
