Followed by a call to crew scheduling delaying your report time for necessary rest.

Wholly pussposterous these preachy, false, finger wagging pronouncements. Never since that fine day Walter Varney spotted the same joker trout casting at Riley’s creek who, the night before swore on his dear mum’s life, a tooth ache had got him hard down; have guys not ducked trips under veil of sketchy circumstances. And who’s to say a week on the water is not just what the Dr. ordered anyway, hydrotherapy the correct technical term? As long as the rigs keep moving, bon voyage.

Tool of the Week: whoever it was last night on Guard over central Oregon, broadcasting a recording of 'Allahu Akbar' and the Islamic call to prayer for about three uninterrupted minutes.

The first 5 seconds was funny, the remaining 2:55 not so much...

I enjoyed the Glenn Quagmire PA audio over guard between PHX and DEN today. Thanks to whoever did that.
