of retirement..........
I took a job a little over a week ago, and my trip out of town today officially ends my almost 2 year run of retirement.....it's amazing how much stuff you suddenly have to get done before going back to work...........lol......
I was watching a movie last night and kept thinking how odd it is that tomorrow I'll be traveling to Kentucky for work......though I would probably be thinking it was weird period even if I was staying in town.........
Of course I got my mountain bike tuned up, upgraded a rear shock, added disc brakes, new wheels, and tires.......all in time for it to snow for 2 days this past week, then for me to take a job that will have me on the road M-F pretty much for the next 2 years.......lol.....brilliant.....
I'm actually am ready to go back to work (the past 2 years thing has been totally voluntarily), so it was good to get a job fairly quickly in the grand scheme of actually looking.......because most of that 2 years was spent golfing, biking, chiropractoring (blah), moving, visiting family, and a lot of just sitting on my **** doin nothing and loving it (not gonna lie).....
Anyways, I have to finish getting packed and make sure that i don't forget anything........y'all have fun........lord knows mine's about to end.........lol.......

I'm some sort of Implementation/Trainer Specialist.........not entirely sure how involved it'll be yet, but it's back to traveling all the time which I'm not entirely thrilled with, but it's a better situation than the one I left (at least on paper at this point)........
We're going to start the Midwest until June/Julyish, then 3 weeks off, then Northern California until the end of the year then 3 weeks off, then Southwest, 3 weeks off, and then Southeast.........i get to bill out 32 hours for each of those 3 weeks off so they don't have everyone jump ship while not working.......it's a good way for me to get back into the working thing.........lol........comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -

Commuting from Utah to Kentucky on a bike everyday may be a little tiring, no matter how you got your bike rigged.Sal Palooza -

Right around the Louisville airport.......I'm staying at some gross little Excecutive Inn thing that I won't be staying at next week.........trust.......lol
Trust me... there's plenty to do in Louisville. Try to hit up Bardstown Rd in the Highlands. Really bohemian with a million and one used record stores. Also, there's a really cool vintage stereo shop on that stretch where you can really score some deals.
Also, the music scene is top notch. I've really missed it since moving to Atlanta.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -
Holy cow.....i think I passed out around 10..........that's just sad........lol........comment comment comment comment. bitchy.
