yo yo...so all the supervisors for my area are very nice and i really like them, i think it's most of them look exactly like actors that i recognize so it makes me feel comfortable
one looks just like the bad guy from The Negotiator and the dad from Boiler Room
one looks just like comedian Jeffery Ross
and one looks just like Rob Corddry from the Daily Show
Another one looks like a really cool instructor from OKC, and he is the supervisor specific to my "team"(everyone has different day off schedules, mine are thurs/fri for now, so eveyroen with those days off are a "team")
The Rob Corddry supp told me good job yesterday because i caught a mistake. Normally working flight data for LA arrivals is very easy, hard to screw up. One of our tasks is to input weather into the computer every hour. LA's weather updates automatically, so we just tell the controllers when its updated. Santa Monica will send a strip with the weather, that i put in. Hawthorne(an airport just south of LAX) will call and read it to me. So Santa Monica sent over their weather and their altimeter setting seemed a little off, not majorly, but did seem a little askew, i showed the supp, he said hmm, call them and make sure. i did and turned out it was a typo, so he said good job.
Also i like to wear ties, and i get such crap for it, in a joshing kinda way. Supps always make jokes about me wanting to take their jobs, other controllers always try to make jokes, but its all in good nature and i make them back. The other day i dressed like they did in resevoir dogs, except no one saw the movie so when they made a comment and i mentioned the movie they didnt know wat it was. It's really terrible. I'm really tempted to wear a tuxedo into work. But once the dress code changes(hopefully) after the contract negotions in washington are done in the next few weeks i will so never wear dressy clothes again.
also, went to movies for first time in a while. saw transformers 2. will probably not go back to the movies for some time
