Well now your talking like a true pilot.

The glow or eager anticipation is starting to wear off.

Your no longer satisfied to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings
anymore for hours on end as you wait patiently for your steed to
arrive.

From now on it's strictly..... When are WE going to get
our own fuel truck.

I spend a few thousand a month where I'm based and have very little patience
for
fueling delays too, but you gotta give the ramp dudes a break because their
job
get really crappy when theres half a dozen pop-up fuel orders from irritated
pilots
who all believe their flight has priority.

After a while you'll figure out that its a good idea to call the FBO before
you leave the
house and tell them to "have NXXX fueled and ready for a XX:XX departure."
Using unusual minute figures like "08:20" seems to work better because then
they might
believe that the departure time is not arbitrary. Most FBO's respond well
to instructions of
this kind. This might be difficult for you to do in the training
environment, but you can also
tell the school that you'd prefer not having your time wasted and phone the
fueling
instructions into them instead.

I always call in the fueling instructions once I land and am waiting for the
cool down
interval. This practice has its downside because I have to guess about how
much
fuel/available weight I'll need for the next flight. (Checking your other
fluid levels during
a brief postflight is a really good idea too, it'll save you a bunch of time
someday.)

standing in the field!)
