I feel like this is the dispatch equivalent of "I'm going to go to the gym."

Come on. You're just trying to make the rest of us look bad! If you start reading them we'll all be expected to. Let's not raise this bar mmmmk.

I guess we are going to have to start looking at the weather too then?

Why would I want to start reading the weather? Isn't that why they put windows at the front of the plane?
Reminds me of one of my first flights as a dispatcher - their destination was calling for fog and the flight called while flying overhead on the company frequency and asked about it. In my infinte wisdom I said, "Guess you'll find out when you get there.
I made a lot of friends that day!! In other words I got to visit several people in management.

Sounds like my first day were the whole east coast was getting socked with a winter storm. Not a legal alternate in sight! On another occasion one summer day a line of thunderstorms was approaching DTW and ca wanted to delay until the storms pushed through. Which would have been at minimum one hour ( it was short flight from DCA ) and I told the pilot they could just punch the line of thunderstorms ( I mean there was a lot of traffic moving through so I assumed it was okay ). Well the ca didn't like that very much got called to office asked why I said that and from that moment on I was always called to the office for something.
