Trip an hour day

took me an average of 4 seconds per call
therefore
1st Trip 19 min. = 1140 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 285 calls --Busy
2nd trip 24 min. = 1440 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 360 calls -- Busy
3rd trip 31 min. = 1860 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 465 calls --#52
4th trip 23 min. = 1380 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 345 calls --#311 & 749
5th trip 19 min. = 1140 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 285 calls -- #338
6th trip 15 min. = 900 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 225 calls -- Busy
7th trip 20 min. = 1200 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 300 calls -- #993
8th trip 20 min. = 1200 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 300 calls -- #444
9th trip 12 min. = 720 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 180 calls -- Busy
10th trip 18 min. = 1080 sec. / 4 sec. per call = 270 calls -- Busy

201 minuets on the phone = 12060 seconds / 4 sec. per call = 3015 CALLS!!!!!

3015 Calls and i only got through 6 times

Wow, no wonder I felt a little stressed today! I was in on every one except the first one and the one I somehow missed the Q to call. I only got through twice today. I knew I made a lot of calls but geez that's a lot at least 2,000 I must have made! Good figuring there Karl! When you know what a great trip you have a chance of winning it's hard not to at least try, even if it can drive you nuts!!!

This is so sad.... TSN had a clip on her after the Leaf game tonight.... what an amazing woman - such a loss....

"The statement said that while early media reports suggested that Burke’s injury was a traumatic brain injury, her condition was a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain during cardiac arrest.

Her organs were donated, in accordance with Burke’s wishes.

Read it on Global News: Global Toronto | Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, 29, dies "

had these set up earlier to post - got sidetracked
it was janis's birthday on the 19th also.
found what appears to be her last interview on dick cavett
and info says it was taped on aug 3 1970 - she died on oct 3 1970.

http://youtu.be/5M-E-Ldfo44



http://youtu.be/Yybz0TcIgDk



the blurb for that part of the interview mentions :
' ,,, (during the commercial break) Janis shocked the studio audience by pulling
out a bottle of Southern Comfort (her favorite drink) and taking a big swig!
Unfortunately this wasn't caught on tape.'

Sarah Burke struck down by bad luck at the height of her sport

Her death stings, because it is unfair, because Sarah Burke was too young and too smart and too pretty and too warm and too well-liked and too remarkable, as an athlete, to leave us so soon.
Plug her name into Youtube and watch clips of the 29-year-old B.C. skier taking flight, blasting out of a superpipe and soaring up, up, with the blue sky as a backdrop and gravity, an earthly annoyance, as her only limit.
Ms. Burke twists. Twirls. Flips. She makes us gasp, and it is amazing to see, especially now, knowing that every clip is a reminder and a memorial to a gifted skier who pushed the boundaries of her sport.

Pushed them so hard and so far that Ms. Burke won four X-game titles, five World Cups and a world championship. She is the reason why the Olympic old boys club added women’s ski halfpipe to the program for Sochi 2014.

Ms. Burke was doing her thing, being amazing and soaring, when bad luck struck her down. Slamming her to the snow in Park City Utah on Jan. 10, rupturing an artery that carries blood to the brain, triggering hemorrhaging, stopping her heart and causing irreversible brain damage.
She died Thursday at the University of Utah Hospital.
Of course, we know what happens next, because it always happens next: Ms. Burke’s tragic death will, somehow, if we allow it to, turn into something that it isn’t.
But here is the thing: Extreme sports are labelled extreme for a reason. Going bigger and jumping farther and pushing limits involve a measure of risk. Shooting for the stars always does.
And it is not a deadly risk, not in all but the most freakish of instances, circumstances like the one that has left us contemplating Sarah Burke’s ghost.
How will she haunt us? What might she say? That she died doing something she loved? That people die every day on the job?
Police officers get shot. Pilots crash. Journalists are killed in war zones. Executives expire at their desks. There is risk in everything we do and randomness in that risk, making this life of ours a whirling game of unforeseeable chance where, every so often, the roulette wheel stops spinning and your number unexpectedly comes up.
This is not a safety issue. This is a life issue. So why don’t we look at Sarah Burke’s short life and see what it can teach us about living?

When she was a little girl her father, Gordon, promised her he would mortgage everything so she could ski. He would take her to the slopes where a young girl with big dreams watched the boys competing in big air competitions — boys she knew she could beat — and where she wondered: why not me?
Why not girls?
It is a question Olympic organizers could not answer.
There are other lessons: a short Ski Channel documentary featuring Ms. Burke and her extreme sports star husband, and childhood sweetheart, Rory Bushfield.
In it we see the couple sitting in the back of a cab, telling their story, talking about a great love and a life together in the mountains.
“It is what our lives are, being on the hill, and there is a reason for that,” Ms. Burke says. “It is where we met, where we play, where we live and hopefully where we will die.”
Amen.
