Three Days in January

Somehow it’s Friday. Last time I checked, it was Tuesday. How cool is that?!
Yesterday I had a late rendezvous sim at work. Because sims have been so scarce, and because I need to be certified by March in order to work the flight I’m assigned to in April, basically every sim I’ve had in the past two months has been like an evaluation. People watching me to see how I’m progressing. To see if I’m ready for the next official evaluation. To see if I’m ready to be certified. Just watching, watching, watching. No pressure at all, right?
But I’m happy to report that last night’s sim went well. The biggest thing they’ve been harping on me for is that I haven’t been talking enough on console. Me. Not talking enough. That’s not something I hear very often.
So last night I talked and talked. If I thought it, I said it. And that was enough! I was declared ready for my cert qual (sort of like a pre-final, and probably the hardest sim I’ll see) which is both exciting and scary. Exciting because I’ve been looking forward to this; scary because oh my god, my next sim is going to be seriously hard!!
And that’s that.
