Not.
Just so you know how exciting everything in The Jon World is right now, here's what's going on.
1: The hotel is 100% sold out the next three nights.
2: The traffic in the city right now is the worst I have ever seen. My cab ride to work yesterday, normally $5 or $6, including the tip, was so long and slow and delayed that, even though I got out a block early, it was $8.
3: Our staff is going to be swamped with almost twice as many limousine orders as we usually have tomorrow. Note: Tomorrow, the day of George W. Bush being in the city and so traffic being reduced to a standstill, especially because we're just blocks from the Waldorf -- where the President stays when he's in town.
4: My department is currently understaffed. (We're hiring, but it takes a while to find the right person -- and don't ask me if I'll hire you unless you've worked in a hotel for at least 5 years.)
5: One of the guys in the department we oversee has a dad in the hospital -- who may die any time -- causing us some temporary understaffing in that department too.
6: I have no clean underwear left.
7: My bathroom ceiling caved in over the weekend due to a leak in the plumbing above. I now have a gaping, 2 foot hole with little flecks of the crap that accumulates between floors and ceilings falling into my tub on a random basis.
Aren't you glad you're not me?

Yeah, I got in from out of town last week, and I made the mistake of trying to take a cab from Penn Station to near the Waldorf-Astoria, where I live. Big mistake. The cab ride took 45 minutes and cost me $12. I hate when Bush comes to town..gr..
