On chairs and bombings.

Not at the same time, I was in the chair, other people were doing the "bombing."
Sat at work. Yay. Well, at least I've found which web sites I can access from the works net now. Classic FM is out, as is Bentley cars, but all of the BBC is fine, as is most of the rest of the net. We sit at the computers for pretty much 12 hours a day, except for trips outside to look at the weather (not something we HAVE to do, but it can help. Fortunately the office here have good screens and better seats than the last office but these are still not 24 hour seats. Almost, they've got decent adjustment but not as good as others I've used. Yeah, thinking about chairs occupies quite alot of the day, after all, we're shinies (sat down so much the backside of your trousers gets shiney.) so sitting down alot and your arse gets more than its fair share of use.
Anyway, on to the more interesting part of the day (I know, chairs and arses, can it get any better?!) Yesterday I spent the day with one of the squadrons here on camp. All the way from Met brief in the morning through planning (lots of restricted and above stuff - thank God for clearance) out to the line with the crew, watching the plane getting prepped (damn it was cold) then hanging with another crew while they went through night planning and the first crew were off "bombing" one site and then strafing another. When they got back we went through the de-brief and then watching the highlights of the cameras from the bomber. Was REALLY cool (okay chilly on the line). Learnt alot about the process of planning the mission and what they need from us, or at least more of it.
Turns out we, as MoD civil servants, can qualify for AT (adventure training) but I might need to take time off for it. Shucks, would I take time off in order to go on organised outdoors pursuits stuff for free? Ha!
Might try and go walking again this weekend. I'll see how it goes.
