chance would be a fine thing!

I've redundancy, only involuntary and without the financial benefits and no pension.

great init?

And as every other fcuker in the office has been promoted and/or posted without a replacement in sight, I'm spending my last couple of months looking like a one-handed paper hanger doing the job of 3.

Wind-down? what's that then?

You could do what most people do on wind down, simply not give a flying f*ck and wait until someone else does the job.

Honestly, how many times have you heard the phrase....

"Couldn't give a sh1t, I'm on leave / posted / detached / out of the RAF / not here" (delete as applicable)

Just can't bring myself to do that. Maybe that's my problem - I'm loyal, hardworking and conciencious. I also consider that I'm not a complete thr0bber, nor a tw@t and actually have 'people skills'. This probably explains why I have been passed over.

Sorry BEngO if that sounded harsh, it wasn't directed AT you, merely just stating what every one else seems to get away with.

And yep, I'm one of those passed over types. Most experianced smally fairy on sqn, so I get put into LITS Cell. GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

don't get me started on LITS! 'cos of all the others leaving, the fact that I have worked out how to log-on to LITS I am now considered the office LITS expert. (Something about a kingdom of blind people?)

Only yesterday Wing Co asked me "BEngo - you're the LiTs expert - can you put your spell books down for a moment and find out how many hours our aircraft have flown between this particular set of arbitary dates - no rush, need to know in about an hour"

:pDT_Xtremez_08:

(some very nice people in Wyton G block helped me out of that pickle - ta)

as for a new civvie nick name - hmm, how about: "Nimbus3000Eng" ?

Nimbus3000Eng Like that ...
But surely you'd just ground the broom fleet with a pointless Fri afternoon UTI for serial number checks LOL

And you're right never admit to having a LITS logon.
Our Sqn clerk has just made a similar istake with JPA he said he could work it Oh is his in tray full...LOL
The "Kingdom of the Blind" isn't that a small insular place near Whitehall.

maybe I could introduce the firebolt into service?

only 5 years late, and 50% over-budget.

Then again, I will always be a BEngO - although as a civvie I will just be a BEng!

(oh the insult! my post noms are MEng (hons))

Down in Wokka land we have the 'Chinook pixies'

Come the night they appear out of their hidey holes to magically fix all the cabs for the next days flying. Anybody lucky enough to observe them would experience magical smells, flashing lights and an odd 'language' usually reserved for the cess pits of Hades...

I was trying to get away with a full career in the RAF without punching someone in the face.

Besides, an anal, lean and QA obessessed individual such as yourself is going nowhere near my desk.

I tried that to start with. It all went a bit wrong in '93 on 60 Sqn, when I had to educated some gobby SAC. I have found it very useful over the years as a way of getting your point across.
