Yes, that's why I posted it.
Thanks for picking up the FAAtorade. I was just thinking that the internet here at Walnut Gardens is a gamer's dream. I just got moved in and checked it... 10mbps with a 12ms ping to Houston. Impressive
(Not that I'll be doing anything besides cramming academy info)
:laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff:yeah you're right...computer science is total b.s.
I was hanging out with some friends and someone said that they thought Controllers had a high suicide rate... I had not heard this before but I think maybe they were referring to people trying to get hired as controllers being suicidal.
However, it is in fact one of the most stressful (for some). Devin, I don't think that you and I have much to worry about going to FSM. Nothing like an en-route facility or a level 11/12.I really wonder if there's any truth to it at all... or if it's just stuff like this that churns the rumor mill. Every controller I've ever talked to said it was the best job they've ever had...

Hey Scongdon...ready to be screaming on the inside?
Yesterday I put a soda in the freezer and it exploded. So not to be wasteful, I cut off the top of the can (not easy) and let the soda ice block slip into a cup to melt and then drink.
Only problem is...now that I'm drinking it, there's all these little shards of aluminum from the can I cut open.
Also...did you hear about that Sunday school teacher who killed that little girl? She tried to commit suicide by swallowing three x-acto blades.
Also this
Hahaha...this is fun

That's interesting, because one of my acquaintances, who is kind of a hater, actually, told me the same thing when she found out that I am going to be a contoller. I did a little research ::read google:: and found the following article, plus several others on the correllation between high suicide rates and profession and not one mentioned Air Traffic Controllers.

90% of all statistics are made up on the spot. I just made that one up...
you have just single handedly ruined any chance of my catching up on sleep this weekend.
