I had a funny thing happen to me yesterday. It was about 0 degrees F here but I put on all my gear and rode to work. I got here about 630 or so. I haven't worked here for very long, about 5 months or so, so the people I work sith sort of know me but not really. At the end of the day, my boss asked me to go into his office because he needed to talk to me about something. Of course, right away I started thinking of all the things I had done wrong...I couldn't think of any-at least any that he could possibly know about. He started by asking me if everything was alright at home to which I replied yes. He then asked if I needed to borrow some money..and I told him no with a question as to why he would ask that. He then told me that he saw me riding to work on my bike and thought since no sane person would ride in weather that cold that I must not be able to afford gas for my car. He then told me if I ever needed a ride to call him and he would pick me up. I thanked him for his kindness and generosity and then I broke the news to him that I choose to ride to work. I told him of all the benefits-saving gas, environmental issues, health issues, etc. that are gained from biking instead of driving. He just sat there noding and smiling. I thought it was a very positive contact..he now has me scheduled for a psych exam next week. Just kidding.
