The day didn't start off too good but damn am I glad it got a lot better along the way.

I got up bright and early and felt like crap. Post nasal drip invaded my my right sinus passage and the right side of my throat in the worst way. I was not able to tell if I was ill or if

it was allergies. I got up lit up the flash light and looked at my throat. Aside from the river of nasal misery my throat didn't look too irritated nor did it look infectious red. This made me feel good mentally but it didn't do a damn thing for my sinus. No time to dwell, I got to get to work. As I was grooming myself for work I heard a ping and at the same time saw something fly across the bathroom. My zero gage eyelet in my right ear decided to go for a bathroom flight. I must of knocked off the o ring that holds it on in my sleep. I found the eyelet but not the o ring. It's back to the bedroom and I dug out the Iron cross pugs. Now my ears are ready for work. I got myself dressed and away I went.

My work day was excellent. My audit stuff is going great. My numbers are incredibly low and just when I was satisfied and I thought they would not get any lower I had a some good luck cross my path and I was able to get some of the numbers down to half their value. This is great and I'm stoked to be able to hand this paperwork on Friday! As they say in upper crust pornos, FUCK YEAH! I thought that would be good enough then I got a real big surprise. I was walking past a co- workers desk. I like this person, she's very sweet. Much to my surprise she's printing out a poster size gay pride flag. The flag has the Lambada symbol in the upper left hand corner and underneath the flag it says live and let love be. I walk over to the person and ask what's this for? She explained to me that June is gay pride month. Yeah yeah yeah I know that! She also went on to say that we need to be tolerant of all people. Yeah yeah yeah I know that too! Finally she said that corp. said that we need to celebrate gay pride month by putting the flag up in the break room with some pictures of famous gay people and some positive information. This is all part of the diversity program that we have. All I can say is this rocks! The company has come along way. Two years ago I suggested we do this and I was told no,no,no. Sing it like an Amy Weinhouse song. I said that we should celebrate gay pride and they said no no no.

Once I got this information I fired off an email to the local HR director and said thank you for making me proud to work for this company. That bit really made my day.

Well, post nasal drip and all I made it to the gym and had a great bi and tri workout. Awesome. After the gym I went to the bank, I cashed my check and I can clearly see I don't have too much money. I guess that's me and the rest of America. This financial pinch is leaving a nasty mark.

Hopefully there will be some more grillin this evening. I'm stoked for tonight. It's the two hours season finale of Lost. Bring it the fuck on!

There is one bad piece of news. I got the official word that my gym is closing on October 31^st. FUCK!

It's really not a big deal because I belong to NY Sports Clubs and there are tons of them around me. That's why they are closing this one and some others down. There are just too many. The issue is location. The gym is on my way home from work. I don't even need to take a different road to get there. It's right on the main road that leads to my house. The other thing is the style of gym that it is. This gym is pretty hardcore. No frilly drinks, no basketball courts, no goofy colors on the wall, no swimming pools. This is the NYSC where dedicated bodybuilders and hardcore weight lifters who go to workout hard. We lift, we grunt and we move along. Yes ,we socialize a little. We are human so we are social creatures but the core of the gym does not go there to mingle. We are there to work and push weight hard. It's the kind of place where you earn respect by working hard. It sucks big time that they are closing this one. The two that will remain open are the ones with with all the frilly stuff and annoying meat market mentality. Not too mention they do not have the same hardcore gear that this gym has. I'm not happy about this. Not one bit. The last thing I feel like doing is scoping out the other NYSC to see which one will work for my and slave barb.

Argh!
