Hi Everybody,
I apologize as it's been a while since I have posted. It's been a pretty crazy few weeks. I had some time off mid August and got to go home, I got to spend the weekend at a friend's cottage and enjoy some of the summer weather.
I had been back in Thompson only a week when I had an incident while flying, it was kind of a scary moment, but everything is ok, although I did end up getting an extra week off (not really by choice but I won't complain) so I ended up going back to Ontario and hiding out at my cousin's house in Hamilton. It was such a good time! Right before I left I also got an annoying computer virus and for the longest time wasn't able to stay logged in when I wanted to post a message. But I've got that all sorted out now 
I have gotten fed up with things. My job is ok, but overall I'm really not happy with things so I have pretty much decided that I'm gonna take at least a semester off and go to school. I sent my application in for McMaster in Hamilton the other day, so hopefully that will work out. I'm not sure if I want to give up the flying for good, but a change will be VERY good for me.
I've been checking in every so often and trying to keep up with things. I hope you're all doing well!
Jamie

make sure that you take care of yourself, Jamie.
You sound like a pretty smart guy, I am sure that you will get into the school that you want and love it. I am also sure that whatever you wind up doing for a living you will love. Not many people wind up doing for life what they started out doing anyways!
Everything will turn out.
hey, wait... countrygirl's post reminded me that MY birthday is coming up... and that means YOURS is too!

I have missed you Jamie, but glad to hear you are ok. It sounds like you did some relaxing while on time off.
Good you are taking time off and going back to school, you seemed relieved to have made that decision.
Hope all goes good for you, take care! gayla

Hey there flyboy!
I've been thinking about you and wondering what was happening with you. So glad you "returned."
We moved into our new home, which, as you might remember, is just up from the lake. It's a huge lake (the County's reservoir), about 10 miles long, and there are several sea planes on it. They fly overhead, and I really enjoy watching them. That's the height (ouch) -- having a beautiful home on the lake WITH your own plane and your own dock. Pretty neat, eh?
Please don't give up flying. I know it's not the flying that you're frustrated with. Congratulations on returning to school. I did that too -- and I wasn't sorry (just broke). I hope you enjoy being back in school and that you get a lot out of it. Then I hope you return to your flying. Maybe eventually buy your own sea plane? Eh?
Bev

Don't worry Bev, I'll still at least keep flying as a hobby and I haven't yet decided that I don't want to do it as a job, but as a job I've been pretty disappointed. There are things that I think are more important than a job that I have and will have to sacrifice if I keep flying as a career. I haven't given up, but I also know that I have to explore other options before I spend another 5 years trying to get lots of flying hours only to get an airline job and then get laid off.
But ya, having my own floatplane would be great. Have a cottage and fly there
Thanks for everybodies' hello's. And Sheri, I had forgotten that my birthday was coming up, thanks for reminding me
Cheers,
Jamie

Congratulations on going back to school. As far as your job goes, you will know the right decision to make that is best for you. You are right though that work isn't everything in life.
Good luck!

I was wondering where you'd gotten to. Welcome back, good to hear from you... and good luck with the college app!
An "incident", huh? Sounds... not fun! Glad you're ok!
