Countdown - 5 days to unemployment
So, I haven't written a ton about this because it's still kind of settling in, but after this Friday I will be unemployed for the first time since 1994. I haven't had the same job since '94, but I've been at my current place of employment since '98, so it sure feels like it ( Read more... ) -

Part threeeee...

Bike maintenance, part deux
Well, it's been a little over a month since my last post, and it's funny how much things can change ( Read more... ) -
Bike maintenance
Well, it's about that time - time for me to look at the bike, shake my head at the fact that I can't afford anything better yet, and then hunker down and make sure I don't let her kill me via my own neglect ( Read more... )
