New jobby job

Put in my 2 - week notice at the Mustang this weekend, finally! Thank god, that place was sucking the life out of me! Owner, not the nicest guy, pretty sure he has bipolar disorder and is unmedicated, treats us like pond scum then suddenly treats us like buddies. Go figure. Makes us cry sometimes how mean he can be.

About the same time that I decided to quit, also decided to take my bike to the shop to get fixed (the little bike, the big one will go in next week for a pre-season tune up). Ended up chatting with the bike shop guys about downhilling, gear, rides, etc. Came back to pick up the bike, and was offered a job! Part time, minimal (not minimum, but minimal) wages, but it would be heaps of fun! Learning to do bike repair, discounts on gear and equipment, time off for races, time off for riding, riding with the pros, etc. Pretty much just a fun job, but hopefully will pay enough to cover all the discounted gear I'll buy that I wouldn't have otherwise (grin) and also to pay enough to cover my race entry fees / camp fees / etc. Then I'm ahead instead of behind, and having fun chillin' at a bike shop to boot.

Wasn't planning on a part-time job this summer, since there are so many bike races and camping trips and Alaska trips I want to go on / to, but those guys are so flexible, or at least they say they are, so it seems worth it.

It's always when you aren't looking for something that the good stuff falls in your lap!
