So far this weekend I've not had any French fries. I'm having withdrawal issues.

No. We don't want you spreading your charm anywhere else.

If not, consider sweet potato fries. They are good too.

So the first job that I had an interview for at the beginning of July was reposted... They increased the pay on it and added an extra number on the pin for it and also stated in the posting "this is a repost and all previous applicants must re-apply". I'm not quite sure what that means. I do know that if they choose not to hire anyone they have to close the job, notify everyone that interviewed and they can't open it back up for interviews for at least two or three months, and that is not what has happened here. Also, I have another interview for an identical HR job in that office again on Tuesday.
I have to fiddle with Microsoft outlook today. They keep asking about it during my job interviews. How hard can it be.

I don't actually go to that sub-forum. I'm not a long distance rider. I'm primarily a commuter with a 25km one way commute. For me a nice ride is 50km (approx 30 miles). A long ride is a metric century (100 km).

I've always wondered if they were any less explosive than regular CF. You know, the Ti might mellow them a bit and all.

That's because I pass a shingle pit and lots of farms on my way to work. One wet ride and I have to completely clean and relube the chain. It gets old doing it daily.

And it's not fun slogging for just over an hour into the, usually cold, rain.

A little under 25 miles today. Stopped in the middle of my ride to help a new cyclist with a flat - he didn't know what he was doing but, to his credit, he had everything he needed to get back up and running - spare tube, tire lever, wrench (IGH), pump. He was very grateful of me and was in awe that 3 or 4 other riders checked in on us as we were working. I believed him when he said that he'd pay it forward whenever he could help someone else in need. While teaching him Changing a Flat: 101, the downpour started so, after he was on his way, I decided to cut the ride short and head back for home. Great ride, regardless.
