. I haven't weighed that since I was 14.I didn't realize Lance used a 39x27 on the real tough mountain stages and Heras even used a triple in the Vuelta (thought that all of the pros were such studs that they climb everything with an 11-23 on the back)..

Welcome back.
Whenever I have been unhappy in a job, I always remember that the Japanese use the same symbol for "crisis" as they use for "opportunity".
Crisis=opportunity, and what this means to me is there's something better out there just waiting for me. With this thought, I don't mind burning a few bridges to push myself to go out and find the opportunity that's right for me.
Keeping a positive attitude, I've always found I was right, all I had to do was look and there it was, every time.
So best of luck. I've been riding lots and lots these past few days in this beautiful Florida weather also.
Exile on Main Street's a great album.

Surveillance was calling down on us if we were glancing at the million flatscreen TVs on football Sundays (kind of like putting a glass of wine in front of an alcoholic, dontcha think?) , crossfiring (industry term for conversing) with other dealers on a live game. Real Mickey Mouse stuff and it got real annoying.
These fascist tactics are typical "money sweating" that you see at a small casino- common practice in the biz to blame employees if the tables are losing $$$- they think WE are cheating the house
. Major resorts on the strip are more concerned about some "whale" bringing down the baccarat table in the high limit room for $1,000,000+, which happened at the MGM Grand the other day...
Hopefully my next stop. I've had it dealing to locals...same degenerate losers showing up at your table everyday taking out their misfortunes on you!

Saw U2 a couple of weeks ago, Def Leppard last Sunday, the Stones two nights ago, and am thinking about seeing Sir Beatle Paul next week. $$$ is adding up...guess I need to get a job soon...
Work sucks. I really don't believe in it.

My sister-in-law lost her job 2 weeks ago due to downsizing. She's a fashion designer in NYC. She worked at a small company that wasn't able to fully utilize her talents anyway, but as a result, landed a new job at a nationally known company, far more interesting, challenging, and pays almost double! She never thought she could get a job like that but getting downsized gave her the push she needed.
Shows, concerts, Vegas is great!

I'd really like to ride across Nevada on US 50, also. I have a route planned for a trip across America and that's on the map. Maybe in '07 if I have a very large stroke of good luck.

Too bad the litespeeds weren't pink. Probably not worth dropping.
