Damn...


I have an app for a job that pays a bit shy of double what I make now. One of the drivers is going to be putting in a recommendation for me. I'm trying to not really get my hopes up. But I really hope I get the job.

I really like my job now. Just not the shit pay, or all the bullshit we have to deal with. Even if there is a lot of bullshit there, the pay will make up for it.   

If I do, I'm having a 2 week notice party. I will be drinking classy shit. 40's of OE and Scotch. Yep I said it. And if I don't get it I will drink the same thing, and cry a little (ok, a lot) Best thing. the 112 hours of vacation pay I have will be cashed out. Which will be more then enough for a new pair of boots and a jacket. And a huge payment to Bank of Parents for the loan.

I got my chain and cassette replaced yesterday. The chain was super stretched out, and while the cassette still had some life left on it. It was showing wear and tear. And a few of the teeth on it would mess up the chain a lot faster then normal riding. (there was a few teeth with large burs and that were stretched out.) Oddly the cheaper cassette will last longer then the higher end one. (30 bucks vs 55 bucks) Since it's made with heavier duty stuff. Best part I didn't pay a dime for any of it. Since I bought the Care Plus Plan (aka the main reason I went with Trek.) The guy also looked at the shifting and made it a lot smoother.


I have about 1400 miles on it. And I got it Sept. 21st. So not bad. (2250ish KM)   


So every January work cuts everyone's hours. Which sucks. Mine haven't gotten cut to much. But one week I'm getting an extra day off. Which is fucking sweet. I am gona see if I can use Personal time to make up for the day of pay missing. And then sleep the fuck in and play WoW till my fucking eyes bleed. And it's all so at the end of the fiscal year they have more money and thus look better and the stocks go up and other great things...

Ya. I'm a beast!  :)   The whole commuting on it and only it. (I did bus last week for getting home as my cold was kicking my ass. But I'm back on it. And riding home.)

Derek: in response to one of your comments on threat's random encounter with GOD, you know VOLTO! isn't really a weird old guy cover band anymore, right?  They're a weird old guy fusion band now.  But here's where the joke's on you: Danny is the oldest one in the band.  ;)

It makes me very sad to realize that this place is almost gone...
"To be happy, be virtuous. There are only two reasons to ever do anything: to be happy, and to help other people be happy. All virtue lies in the second half of that, in working for others, in protecting the weak from the strong... This is everything important I think I know about being a man."
