No. There were multiple layers to the day.

It was insanely exhausting from the combination of the cold and the never-ending stream of things I had to do. I didn't realize I was so tired until I left work - it was like racing a crit totally focused and doing great then realizing you're so beat you may not be able to even get off the bike without falling over. I tried to stay awake in the early evening so I wouldn't be up at 12:30 AM. I'm up right now after almost a full night's sleep so that meant that it didn't work; the day was that intense.

I met a few people that I really like (customers). First impressions, okay, but still, I haven't been off too many times recently. I guess I'm a people person so meeting and interacting with new people is good.

I also realized I was making a difference in people's lives, and that's several times over in just one day. 5 absolutely solid new "fans" if you will (aforementioned new customers, new to area, looking for help in small but important-to-them ways), 1 of them who had major problems with equipment (not our fault but we were part of the solution), and at least 3-4 regulars who I realized prefer to deal with me (after being customers of the business for literally decades; I realized they asked for and waited for me).

At the same time two people helped me out with stuff I wanted/needed to get done. This doesn't include the guy already helping with making my CycleOps a rocker type trainer (he's cutting/welding some massively heavy steel plate we had and attempting to convert a spare CycleOps stand I have). And one more is also helping with fixing up the house, doing actual work on the house.

And I was just doing my job, i.e. we weren't giving away stuff.

The "problem" with menial jobs (and I consider my job menial) is that one can make such a difference in other people's lives but it implies not making a lot of money. I never got this kind of satisfaction when I was working in significantly more lucrative jobs. Also I work almost all Saturdays outside of the Bethel race weeks so that really kills cycling time
