ugh. That’s horrible.
You can’t just make stuff up!
801 is the OG area code for Utah.

Thank you. A Utah reference that doesn’t involve Mormon’s or Polygamy. I like it.
I N’d the R straight away… guess I should have posted RN. Oh well.
I watched Friends off and on but not enough to get most of the references made here. In fact, i might have learned as many R’s here as i have from watching the show.
Could you BE any more clueless??
That’s all I’ve got. Not as R-worthy-to-N as so many other shows.

I started with 15 Ativan on Tuesday - today I have 5 left.
I used 8 for the first flight (and the many hours leading up to it). Yesterday, I took 1 Ativan in the morning to keep the chill going, did my work thing, and then sat at the airport for 5 hours drinking approximately 1 Old Fashioned per hour. I was thoroughly hungover by 2.5 hours into the flight and took 2 headache pills and 1 Ativan when I realized I was imagining the plane’s wing being ripped off and wondering what that would feel like for me.
A successful 8 hours of flying, in 24 hours, for 1.5 hours of work.

Huh, i routinely have thoughts like that when I’m driving. I imagine that incoming car not turning where the road turns. Or the wheels of my car spinning out. Or me driving through the light and being hit by an incoming train. But i just think about it and move on, i don’t get especially anxious.

First, you have to give up. First, you have to know, not fear, know that someday you’re going to die.

As my doc pointed out to me on our call, “Being afraid is normal. It’s when you’re paralyzed by that fear that it’s not.”

And then the fuzzy gremlin (the OG) showed up on the wing…

I’m not even especially afraid of any of the things I imagine happening. I just think, as I drive, “this catastrophic failure could occur… that catastrophic failure could happen…” I don’t worry about that stuff in an airplane, mostly because I have no agency in what happens to the plane. So I just relax and enjoy looking at the ground from above.

So like in Annie Hall?
I watched Annie Hall a million years ago, and don’t remember whatever you are referencing.
I thought it was the pink monkey from the previous joke
Glad you got through it. The downside to using alcohol for that purpose is the need to get up to use the WC, sometimes when there is turbulence and it’s unsafe to get up.
