Salaam!
It seems that our Fearless Leader has decided that it's time for another exciting round of Learn To Fly The Jet! I'll be teaching the course this time around, as Fearless Leader has decided that he needs to keep a very close eye on Horatio The Roomba-Loving Turtle. So any of you who would like to learn how to fly the jet (trainees, I am looking at _all_ of you) or would simply like a refresher course please let me know by end-of-week.
The more people who can take her up and put her back down again that we have, the more operational flexibility we have in case of injury, vacation, downtime, precognitive chocolate fits, swimming pool inhalation, or brain-sprains.

We'll get you up to speed in a few months.

However, would you like to do a little advanced coursework in hand-to-hand combat?

I'll take the absolute beginners.

And maybe... fly? Fly her? Fly the Blackbird? At some point?
I think my heart has stopped. Or speeded up to the point where I no longer have a readable heartbeat.

But yes, that's the whole idea here.

We'll go over all of it once I get the class going.

Date: 2005-02-01 04:40 am (UTC)For cake, no, you don't get points back. For fresh home-made garlic and pepper hummus, you can have your points back.
And some suitable vegetable-type things to dip into the hummus.

May as well have some snacks while I'm listening to all the Woe.
