So, I've officially accepted the job offer (well verbally anyway) and the countdown begins. Two weeks from today I'll be sitting in a new office probably filling out paperwork, signing confidentiality agreements, giving up any rights to any awesome inventions I may come up with and one more thing...oh yeah...earning a paycheck.
I figure this is a great time to document what I do in a typical unemployed week. I guess this isn't really typical since there's a slight sense of urgency, but I think it's still a valid exercise. I don't know how many times I've been asked "So what do you do all day?" and I've had to honestly reply..."You know, I couldn't tell you."
So, what did I do this fine Monday.
I got an early start to the day and mowed the lawn before it got too hot. I did go out of my way to mow the alley behind the house, but I couldn't quite dig up the motivation to bust out the weedwacker and trim up the edges of the lawn...even with all of the time in the world, there's not enough time for that.
I also managed to acquire a new handlebar for my mountain bike...oh, and I picked up some grips too. My old carbon bar was due to be replaced and I found a guy on Craigslist selling brand new Easton bars. The rise and width match my old bar pretty closely so I am quite stoked! I also picked up some of those fancy Ergon grips for my new cockpit. Can't wait to try them out...probably tomorrow. There's nothing like new bike stuff to motivate me to ride...I've got to test the setup before Monarch Crest Trail this weekend. I think we are looking at 5 hours of riding...It's advertised as a lot of descending but it does start at 11,000 ft and climbs up to almost 12,000. We'll see how that goes.
Also, in preparation for the new job...I picked up a few shirts. I only had the stamina to hit one department store...going into those places is like walking around at 12,000 ft...exhausting!
