I am sitting at home. Who do you run for? A lot of places were on summer break for the past 2 weeks. Hopefully, things will be busier this coming week.

I'm on my couch too. But if this bunch gets busier next week. I may have to put in for "family leave" LOL

Our core customer doesn't shut down for vacation. They actually make the employees stagger their vacation request, to prevent shutdowns.

I actually had one 19 hour day this week. 10 hours driving, 9 hours yard and dock work. Before anybody snaps...I was 100% legal. BG I was whooped that day.

I'm getting to old for that kind of work day.

I haven't had a load since July 1st!! So I sat in my lazy boy for a couple days, then sat in a lawn chair and drank beer and watched fireworks. Then on Sunday I sat on two planes to get to Vegas where I sat at the Three Card Poker table and at the poker tables in O'Sheas, Harrah's and Binion's for a couple days. Then Thursday I sat on two planes to get back to Ohio so I could sleep in my bed for a long time. And earlier this evening I sat at the bar drinking quite a few beers. Tomorrow I plan on sitting in my lazy boy again, ocassionally getting up to change loads of laundry. Sunday will be spent sitting in a golf cart driving from shot to shot. I guess maybe Monday I'll go back to work...

We can safely say that I came home with more money than I left with. Poker was very good for me.
