Gas Prices! Man o man, I am laughing at you. Fact: the amount of money spent by the Federal Government on Public Transportation is based on revenues from gas taxes. So drive less = less Public Transit Funds. Make sense in a fucking 12 dimensional world where Uthulu's are our Lords and Masters. Fuck, who though this up? Asshat politicians.
Commute! It's been better lately. They installed HUGE speedbumps by the park to slow traffic down. I think people have figured out that you just can't take this shortcut and save time anymore. Very few speeders anymore, on the worst part of my commute. I have also noticed that people seem to be LOOKING AT/for cyclists a bit more. MY TRACKSTANDS IMPRESS EVERYONE. (on that note, if you come to a stop sign first, please go in order, and don't wave me on, you wouldn't do it to someone in a car, now would you?) And what's up with all these squeaky bikes? Spend 50 bucks and get it tuned up. I love coming up in back of other riders and scaring the shit out of them because my chain doesn't sound like a Greatful Dead soundcheck. Just pull into their draft, blow buy 'em and say 'dude, Pedro's'!
Work! It is swell. Not much money (pop's said I should ask for a raise [he's senile, methinks]). But not much hassle. Some pressure, but I pretty much kick ass at what I do, so no worries here. Taught a client about InDesign today. The basic lesson was don't overthink it, and give me the cover in a seperate file. Still the worst part is getting 72 (or 96) dpi RGB images and then having to explain to people that I can't make dogshit into gold without 300 dpi CMYK tifs or psds). dunbasses.
Enough for now, as no one reads this fucking drivel anyway. Looking for Amtrak destinations for a short vacation (I am not going to my folks place) somewhere near CA. UBI bike mechanic school is very expensive, but I may talk to my employeer about paying for part of it (though my job has nothing to do with bikes or mechanicalbike thingys). I dunno just a thought, as I haven't asked for a raise in over a year.
If you read this please tell me to A) STFU, B) GTHO or C)zzzzzzzzzzz
