Interview #2 Friday morning.
Or not.
Apparently there was some sort of confusion somewhere. The lady that called me on Monday to schedule the interview called me back today saying they had to cancel it. She said I should hear something next week about a possible second interview. Not too sure whats going on with this.

Of course many employers care very little about the time of prospective employees.

And vice versa. It's the wild Wild West in employment these days.

speaking of all that interviewing and employment stuff- I may be starting in a litigation sort of job here soon, or not.
Also, the lady is getting head-hunted for a job that would move us to Bend Oregon in the winter/spring, so that could change things, or not.

New old bike that hasn't been ridden in 8 years (yeah, I haven't put the chain or pedals on, just brought it home):

Wylde - I've had similar things happen to me. I thought I was a shoo-in for one job, then got a call saying the position had been frozen. It sucks.
And speaking of old bikes, I am currently riding my old bike - long story - and it is amazing how quickly things go to **** when a bike isn't ridden much. Rear shifting is OK despite a small crack in one of the pulleys. Front shifting is pretty damn awful. I think the BB bearings need to be replaced. The chain and cables are older, but haven't been used much. The positioning is all wrong. And I have cheap crappy tires on there.

Chocolate covered Oreos and other such nonsense in the kitchen at work. Help yourself if you are in the area.

I played semi-hookey yesterday and went to the beach. Paid for it with a nice sunburn on my shoulders and upper back. Owie.

About 12 days ago a friend / coworker of mine came into work with a lazy eye. 3 days after he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He died on Wednesday night.
He was very anti cycling and we used to argue about it nonstop. A few times he said that he would run me over (jokingly, I suppose) if he saw me out riding. Last night when riding by his house, I got 2 flats, both front and rear. Coincidence?

is it weird that I can't seem to get motivated/excited about crits anymore? i used to love crits, but lately I don't even feel like doing them. there are some big local races coming up (hartford and boston) and I might not even do them, even though i could ride to mayors cup. just doesn't get me excited. but i'm driving practically to friggin' canada this weekend to race dirty 40...
