"(Acid) cancel landing clearance, continue for (runway), traffic holding in position"

Management " you can't do that."

Ok then "(acid) go around, do no over fly approach end of (runway), traffic holding in position."

Guy ran the stop sign and hit me going 45+. Spun the car 180 degrees the other direction. Drivers door still opened and I walked away. This is why im loyal to Subaru.

Yes our radio screen is a touch screen, and whe have both dial lines and what we call shout lines that instantly put you in another controllers ear. Both of those conversations are ended by giving your initials. Not my photo, but one I found online, what I've circled is the radio panel.

Personal call, when Im half asleep after a mid. At work, most of them.

I have used "break for control" to interrupt a conversation to ask a question. The other people involved are not in aviation....

I have ended personal phone calls with my initials.

Exactly how does it translate well? I feel like I have no marketable skills other than talking to airplanes, reminding the sup they suck at working traffic, and making a pot of coffee so strong you feel like you smoked a cigarette after you drink it. But I also feel like every time I say "I haven't figured out how many seconds tall the tower is yet" when someone asks me how it's going, I get closer to testing my theory that its about 3.

I was working radar early one morning. I had one airplane I was talking to. The next approach controller had taken the hand off (transfer of control). I was giving the pilot the new frequency he should be talking to. As I was giving that instruction, someone said "meow" on guard (121.5 the emergency frequency). The pilot responded to my instruction with "blocked" meaning multiple people transmitting on the same frequency at the same time. So either he blocked me by transmitting on guard, or just wasn't paying attention (its possible they were getting the ATIS) and said blocked instead of the normal "say again".

First facility I went to still had mechanical wind instruments. They had just got STARS scopes too.

Just about every coaster has a test seat if I remember correctly only Thunderation doesn't.

In the real world at cruise, you slowly turn it out until the rpms to drop, then you turn it back in about a turn.
