Loud breather

There is a new person on our staff. I have noticed during meetings over the past couple of days that he is a loud breather. Yesterday, for example, I was sitting on the exact opposite end of the table (the length of three people sitting comfortably between us) and I could here him inhale. And exhale. Today wasn't quite as noticeable b/c we were in a room with more ambient noise.

Surely this is entirely new Seinfeld character unto himself. But, he seems like a nice, competent guy so I'll try not to hold it against him.

My big dilemma now is whether or not to get a massage at the fancy resort during the conference this weekend. I know, big problem. It's just so expensive that now I'm not sure I can use the "I deserve it, it's a gift to myself" rule. Also, there's a requirement to schedule ahead and I don't do well with commitment.

Ah well, I'm sure it'll work out. Apparently there's a hurricane brewing in the Atlantic, but right now they're predicting it hits NC/VA. Hopefully it won't make a surprise turn for S. FL.

If you think about it, work is paying for your food and lodging while you're down there. Those are costs you would normally pay yourself. So, with that in mind, use that money you'd normally use to pay your light bill and eating out while at home on a weekend to buy yourself a massage. Voila! When you subtract all of that, it's probably not that much more you're spending on the massage.

Good comments all around. It's true that I spend a lot of $$ shopping and eating on the weekends, and I won't be doing that this week. I will probably look into scheduling when I get down there tomorrow.

Woo hoo!
