Time to Fly Again

I am back from a shorter day in the office, I was there a mere 10 hours. I was relieved by Johnny so I could go for a run before the sun went down. I ran 2 laps so about 4 miles, this time I tried to step up the pace a little bit, I don’t know how fast it was as I don’t wear a watch but it felt fast. Once I got my breath back I took a shower and headed to dinner. I stopped to drop off the laundry on the way and chatted with my buddies that work there.

The guys that do my laundry are from Bangladesh and work 12 hours a day with no days off. After talking to one of the guys that in processes the employees, he said they make about $20 a day. This sounds like nothing but you have to realize that $200 a month is good money for a lot of these people so $600 is crazy cash. One of the laundry guys I talk to has been here 4 years and thinks he will be going home soon. Imagine that 4 years without a day off! Do you think anyone you know could handle that?

Then I had some dinner, I was so happy that they brought the healthy bar back! Yea I got to have chicken, rice, broccoli and some pears and pineapple. I know I didn’t need any but I did have a slice of pecan pie too =) The funny thing is I am eating nonstop and still can’t gain any weight! I guess I should not be complaining and just enjoy my crazy metabolism.

After dinner I picked up my laundry, no not the same stuff as it’s a 3 day turn around, and then I headed back to the room. I tried to upload some picture of the marshmallow blast but with no luck.

So now it’s off to bed as I get the chance to fly for a buddy as he is sick and that means he will cover the desk and I will play with the clouds =) Ok I’ll chat later, Aloha.
