I am in a horrific mood. I can't decide whether I wanna get blackout drunk or beat the piss out of someone. Probably gonna do neither realistically, but that doesn't mean I don't want to.

Yeah, "neither" was right. Bourbon and coke and Walking Dead were it. Zombies and booze help me cheer up. Maybe a long ride is in order for tomorrow.

was told that my job will be changed to non-law enforcement and that i'll be turning in my gun/badge on 3/8. basically the state is changing parole to a more social work oriented agency. probation in NY is unarmed, so we will follow suit.

ah well, i still make double what my parents ever did combined, i drive 5min (bike 20min, up hill all the the way) to work and i'm still up for the hostage negotiation team academy. screw it, just pay me and leave me alone.

more importantly, i was thwarted in my search for a 165 FSA Gimondi silver crankset to replace the 175 i cannibalized from the '11 Sputnik to put on the 722ts. may have to find an alternative...

i'm going to think of it as a 4 month rental that cost me 150.
oh, and i feel slightly bad that i forgot to mention there was a broken bolt in the disc hub, but it's a simple fix and dude got a freaking DEAL so whatever.
