Go ahead CP, say it... you know you want to!

Originally posted by lemon limeOh good grief, I just realised my mistake. I made the same mistake the first time I saw that riddle. 😕
I just now tried it with the speakers son as the man in the picture, and it does work. But why doesn't it work if the man in the picture is the speaker? I've tried it both ways and both ways appear to work... so what am I missing?

Suspended in Air
I'm not in earth, nor the sun, nor the moon;
You may search all the sky--- I'm not there.
In the morning and evening, though not in the noon.
You may plainly perceive me, for like a balloon,
I am midway suspended in air.
Though disease may possess me, and sickness and pain,
I am never in sorrow nor gloom.
Though in wit and wisdom I equally reign,
Yet I ne'er shall be found in the tomb.
-Lord Byron (1788-1824)

You're hired as a Staff Assistant (which skips the usual summer intern orientation position) with a start date of June 21, 2014, the First Day of Summer which is a Saturday. Payroll is scheduled for your Daily Compensation of $200/Hour X 4 Hours/Day = $800.00 Per Day for your services. One last thing:
That goes without saying.
Dr. Rational pays staff members from his Humongous Rainbow Pot Piggy Bank. $800.00 Per Day X 100 Pennies/Dollar = 80,000 Pennies. So please bring your Famous RHP Wheelbarrow to work each day beginning June 21, 2014.
