I've noticed that some hotels put tracking devices on their luggage carts. It's more useful to know where it is than to know who is using it. The tracking devices also tell them when someone has abandoned a cart in an upstairs hallway rather than returning it to the lobby.
I realize now that the hotels are doing the same thing as Delta - travel volume and prices are way up, so just pocket that money instead of using it to restore services and benefits.
I will hit the hotel up for more toiletries later this week when I ask for a fresh set of towels.
I am getting used to being (temporarily) full-time again. I normally work 10-12 hours a week, but an full-time when on travel.
I hope everybody has a great week!

Happy Thorsday! I have some use or lose leave to burn so took the day off. We went to a botanical garden type place in the city and then later met some friends at the Belgian bar which serves cheap Belgian beers. Unfortunately, it’s not served by public transportation anywhere nearby.

The later time actually works out well for me today. I can stop at my mom's and maybe even go to the gym as well.

Looks like I again won't make it to the gym, but I will go tomorrow for sure. Tonight's activities include the UPS store, stopping at my mom's, laundry, and typical Thor's Day festivities.

I will likely be multi-tasking, as I have promised to do Copper River sockeye salmon on the grill for dinner ... luckily that's neither a long nor laborious process, as long as I get some of the associated prep out of the way before joining the Zoom
