I didn't "lose" my job.... it's still there. It's just that someone else is now doing it

"Losing an engine" is a pretty standard term for a failure. Up the this point I've been encouraged that the average poster here at FT is well educated and picks up on non-literal speak. I'm now realizing I may have misread the room. Moving forward, I'll adjust my posts to align with my time in engineering school where everyone talks like robots being held at gunpoint..... just to be sure the conversation can be quickly and accurately digested by everyone.

This incident made me not keen on taking sleep substances, at least nothing stronger than a Benadryl or similar, on an overnight flight. (Not generally an issue with AS' longest flight stages, nor on that particular flight, but just for the proposition that you can end up landing and need some wits about you at unforeseen times).
