Hola amigos. Today is quite a day in Jordon's Deep Thoughts. It's the first time in almost 5 weeks that I have had time at work to write a blog entry. I have quite a few ideas in reserve so get ready to start checking weekly again. Work has been absolutely crazy for the last month. I have been working until 6 or 7 every night. No Cheifet has ever had a job that required any more than 50% effort or more than 40 hours per week. Needless to say my parents were very disappointed. But alas, the FEMA project I had been working on since last Halloween is finally finished. Now it's nothing but SCUBA diving in the East River and writing blog posts to keep my faithful readers entertained while they sit at their desks wishing they could be doing something awesome.
So yeah, my August was pretty much the worst month of my life. Parking ticket, speeding ticket (my first), someone punched my sideview mirror and broke it, car engine problems. Oh yeah, and I kind of screwed up at work when I used meters instead of feet. Oops! So September 1 came and it was off to the Dominican Republic with my roommate Tom (see above, center) and my friend John (see above, right, the guy). Never in my life had I truly, sincerely needed a vacation. I'm telling you, DR (as we like to call it) is really cheap and awesome. We drank, we danced, we gambled, we drank some more, we tanned, we met some great people. Actually, I was very close to actually leaving a casino in the black for the first time in my life but the sweet siren song of the roulette wheel spinning gets me every time. Oh well, good times all around.
We shared a room and it turned out to be very nice. I was taking a shower one afternoon after a long day of sleeping and tanning and picked up the soap and, of course, it got me thinking. What is the proper etiquette on using a bar of soap when you aren't in your own shower? You go to a friend's house and want to take a quick shower before going out. You see the bar of soap sitting there...what do you do? If you use it, do you meticulously inspect it to make sure there are no hairs still on it? Do you just use your shampoo foam? That never works. Do you pray there is body wash and if so do you use their loofah sponge too? These are questions that need to be answered.
WWJD? What Would Jordon Do? He would use the damn soap and not worry about it because it's soap, anything that touches it is automatically cleaned, right?
Have a great week...and it's great to be back!
