RSV vs RDY
I'm not an acronym sort of person. It takes me a while to sort and remember.
Last night I was talking with my captain just after finishing the trip in Portland. I had my schedule up on the computer and asked if he knew the difference between RSV and RDY. Yep. RSV just means "reserve" and RDY means "ready reserve". That's what I thought, but needed confirmation.
These letters made a HUGE difference in how my next day would go. Regular reserve meant I can stay at the hotel and ready reserve meant that I would have to sit at the airport.
I was thrilled!
I am currently in my hotel room in Portland wondering if Crew Support will call and send me out. If they don't, all I have to do is show up at the airport for my 3:30 deadhead flight to SFO. Then I sit RDY for an hour until my next deadhead flight back to Sacramento (SMF).
I've been avoiding checking my schedule online because I don't want them to know I have my computer with me. I'd rather make them call me so I can have the 1.5 hour to get ready. It's a tricky game, but if I acknowlegde a change in my schedule online then I'm stuck with it. Ron, you know what I'm sayin.
Actually- I'm bored to tears here and thinking about going to the airport early just to look around. It's a nice airport with some interesting things to see. Yesterday as we were leaving I saw a piano. Captain said there is usually a man playing it for tips.
Oh Kathy- you're wasting precious time when you could be writing your book!
I know, I know...and yes, I have been thinking about it.
Thinking isn't writing Kathy!
Yep, thanks for that.
FYI- Annie is at a critical stage of the story and I'm not sure which way to take her. I need my notes. My notes are at home.
On a completely different note- I lost a five dollar bill yesterday. Damn it.

Kathy---I tried to post this to MB's blog, but didn't realize that his doesn't allow anonymous comments and I don't have a blog. Since I know he reads your blog, I thought it might be OK to post it here so that he could read it?....
Brydon, I know you are going through a really rough patch right now---the last thing you need is for someone to misinterpret what you meant in your blog. You referred to "That stuff sucks, ruins lives and is for the weak, of which I admit I have been." I am sure you mean alcohol/meds when a person struggles with addiction. I'm sure you did not mean that taking meds for depression/anxiety in general is for the weak. Would you please clarify? I know you have a good heart and I would hate to see some quick-tempered soul misinterpret your post. JD and I are praying for you, Kat, and the kids.----C
Sorry to post in this weird way, but I wanted MB to get the post. Again, I know he has a good heart---my being the mother of two children with mood disorders who have to have medication to function normally in the world--I might have taken offense to the statement had I not known MB's good heart. Please, know that I say this all out of love/kindness and am praying for your family!
Thanks----C

Sorry C, but you are exactly right in what I meant to say. I meant that those who give in to alcohol and drugs are weak, not those who take them the proper way. I am still on an antidepressant, but it is non-addictive (Wellbutrin) so I would not knock those who have to take them. Hope that clarifies things and thanks for the thoughts and prayers. I think I will change my blog so anonymous commenters can leave comments. I had a person several months ago leaving them that was not so nice so I blocked them.
