Even though I keep intending to and also telling myself that I'm going to get out into the sunshine more, I haven't. Because its cold outside and the weather is so up and down. We have been plagued at work with fog the last couple of weeks - yesterday was a case in point. 3 flights got off the ground before 7am but then the 7:30am flight was delayed til about 11am, the fog just came in like a thick blanket of white wrapped around the airport and they didn't have enough visibility to get out. Luckily we got 2 flights away at 11am because both those planes were on the ground but nothing could actually land til about lunchtime.
People have been quite nice in general about it, since it is a weather disruption, but a lot of them don't understand how it works, which is fair enough, because how would they? My funniest thing is when people ask us when the fog is going to clear. I don't think that they realize what they are actually asking because we are not weather forecasters nor fog readers, and we don't usually know when its going to clear.
But after being asked that question several times I decided that they are probably actually asking, what time of day does it usually clear. I usually try to offer comments like, "Well yesterday it cleared by lunchtime, so we are hoping that will happen today too."
I just feel sorry for the people that are going places for meetings that suddenly can't and have to cancel because we can't get them down there in time, because roading them to auckland to send them out of there takes quite a while.
Yesterday we had some people volunteer to go to Tauranga just so we could get them on an earlier flight out of there.
I went to boot camp last thursday and then the next 3 days after that I could barely move my muscles had completely stiffened up and I had soreness all over my back and legs. I want to go again though, I must be a glutton for punishment, but I can just see that I would be so fit by the end of it if I kept going. Good motivation.
