After being made to feel like a leper from the corporate world when I went looking again for a job, my buddy-owner of the LBS offered me a part-time job. Absolutely loved it ! I was happy to do everything, sales,mech work or even cleaning. It was a hoot to be around bikes, friends that I used to ride with. I learned alot and got to show that I knew quite abit myself.

It was great to sift through the backroom bins for hidden treasures and take home books,magazines and catalogues to read from the boss's vast collection. Money was not great but it was better then not getting paid at all. True, I lost riding time and had to work during ride events but I got my rides in. I would park my car way away from the shop and ride in. Work my shift and ride back to my car. I always located the end point near a coffee shop so I had my brew to cap the ride off. When the weather was nice I kept the distance 10-15 miles for the "commute", winter time and darkness ment I shortened the distance....

Sadly, my time at the shop only lasted for 4-5 months. Business slowed way down and he had to let us PT people go. So I moved on to other PT work and wait for him to call me back as the weather warms up.

Come on spring !
