No, I Didn't Run Away, I Just Took A Day Off!

Admiralty Skyline, Hong Kong

There is a lot to talk about today including why I did not post anything yesterday. Therein, as usual, lies the story. It is really more the story of Friday night rather than Saturday, so I suppose we should start there. I arrived at work on Friday night to a lobby full of people who could not wait to check in. I clocked in and stood at the main computer station for 3 hours straight checking people in with nary a break in the action. All the while knowing I was getting pretty far behind in the audit process but there was no helping that as the guests do come first. On a normal Friday night I would check in anywhere from 5 to 10 guests, so the audit and putz around for a couple of hours until shift change. This Friday night I checked in 27 guests and still got the audit done albeit an hour later than I would usually finish. I did get off on time, came home, ate a little something, then sat at the computer selecting photos for Saturday's post. By the time I got the photos selected I was beginning to waver a little in m wakefulness so I thought I would take a nap then get up and post sometime in the afternoon. Obviously that did not happen as I slept until 9:30 last night. I guess I was a little more tired than I thought. Anyway, last night was an average night with 12 check ins with the audit being over and done by 6, I had my usual two hours of putz time and a few people come for their breakfast vouchers. Then my relief, MM, showed up a half hour early and said I could go home early, which tickled me pink, so I went home. While I was changing into comfies I noticed the pair of pants that I wore last night (some comfy cargo khakis) were some I had not worn in a while, so I looked at the size on the tag and low and behold they were a pair of my 34's that I have not been able to wear in a while. So Uncle Gerry was real happy about that as that means all this walking I get in is doing my waistline some good. I was hovering between 36's and 38's depending on the cut of the pants, so getting into 34's again is a very good thing to me. Maybe I am getting better not just older, huh?

For videos today I have Nuke and Barack Obama. I posted the first part of the Nuke video on Thursday but the second part had not been uploaded when I posted so I put both parts in as well as lukes appearance on Friday in a custom player for you then after that is Barack Obama's July 4 speach at a picnic in Butte, Montana. The videos are followed by the eye candy section where in addition to the normal allotment of photos I add some au poil photos at the end to make up for not posting anything yesterday. I think you will like them all. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
