Default Re: Worst day of flying so far...

I couldn't but happen to notice that you posted this thread a day after your "cheating girlfriend" thread. Personally, I know that I wouldn't have a clear head for a few days (or weeks) if something like that happened to me. Maybe a few days off to recuperate and get things in order is on tap... Get out, go to a bookstore, coffee shop, the movies, for a run, anything like that the next few days, and you'll be ready to go back at it again with a clearer mind. I'd probably steer clear of the bars, because alcohol is a depressant and most women in bars act like fools.

My ex-girlfriend told me she was planning on moving out while I was on an overnight. I finished a trip the next day, and went home to an empty apartment since she was out of town. I only had two days off, but I ended up calling in sick for my next trip since my mind was preoccupied about things at home. So I took a week and did things to keep busy, and things I enjoyed... By the end of that week, I was able to go back to work and focus properly.

Maybe I'm off-base here, but sometimes these things go hand-in-hand. Just relax... We've all had "off" days during flight training. It happens once in a while.
