after the first job the silver spoon piece of paper becomes much less valuable. Asking the right job specific questions will find the person who can do what is required. When i review resumes the school attended carries little to no weight.

Shortly after going to work at my last Chevy dealer the service manager quit. They had 2 potential candidates, both of whom I had worked for in the past. The owner asked me about them. I told them one was a solid manager, good people skills and very serious about the work. The other, while a nice person, was not a good manager and got no respect from employees and was frequently duped by the lot porters. He was willing to work cheaper, so he's the one they hired. He lasted almost a year.

I hope it’s not too P&R, but next observation really is cycling related and goes to state of mind.
Every time I see a “Biden” sign I read it initially as “Bidon.”
Come to think of it, given the circumstances a water bottle for president might not be such a bad idea. Sad!

Also, fuggin' bee sting.
I was hoping that it would be subject to less agitation than the previous sting on my hip, but it continued to swell overnight and get more itchy. Benadryl doesn't seem to agree with me, makes me feel so lethargic, so I'm going to pick up some other antihistamine en route, but I don't like the idea of throwing new chemicals in to the mix on a day like today.

Two shifts in a 22 mile flat ride with crosswinds. The first was to correct a ghost shift and the second was to correct the over shift of that correction. Normally there would be a tailwind on the return leg, and as such a few shifts in and out of the big ring.
There are many more details which could be discussed, but it boils down to my needs being diametrically opposed to yours. All I need is a comfortable bike and a motor. We are talking about different animals here.

Not even 40 miles - stupid windy and I was completely unmotivated. And the cooler weather has the idiots out. Did set my 60" power again at 495w, thanks to getting to set it into the wind.
Now for my Giants to disappoint me again.
