Really? :) Wow.... I thought I had a high pressure, time-based job to perform sometimes. But maybe you find it smooth as silk? Dunno - interesting how some people get suddenly calm in "tense" situations.

So lessee ... you one of the ones that talks to the pilots and gives them directions and such? Or is it mostly computerized now?

[Fungus feels a fool b/c he realized he knows ZILCH about the entire subject. :\ ]

No automation here. I really talk to pilots. As far as stress, I guess its something you get used to. Its like drinking, the more you drink, the more tolerance you build up. After doing this as long as I have been it takes a LOT to really stress me out. The busier I get, the calmer I get. Its like I'm seeing things in slow motion. The trick with ATC is to see things before thay happen and plan what you will do while still being able to talk and direct traffic in the present. You have to have good multitasking skills is all.

ExACTly what I meant. Well, I am glad YOU are doing it and not me.

This poor 'shroom would likely have a nervous breakdown....

That I can understand a little better. Thinking on your feet while in the process of doing other things is something I can relate to more.

Is this something you were assigned to do? Or something you always wanted to do? Or something you just would up doing?

Yeesh ... I got a lot of questions today! :D

Nosy, nosy, nosy.... :\
