Way to go man. That's a pretty tough courseload.

What's your major if you don't mind me asking?

I graduated college about one year ago (BS- Chemistry).
I have to admit though, I got one of my two "C"s in Biochemistry :lol:.

I've always been more of an inorganic kind of guy.

Congrats.

Today I got over my road ride funk and had a good road ride.

Yesterday I had a cleanse of sorts. No booze for 24 hours. That was the first time that's happened in months. Today after work I was right back into the swing of things.

Also, I caught up on Top Chef and watched two former employers and two acquaintances of mine compete. My wife asked me how I worked for one of them for so long because she's such a *****. I found that hilarious.

Today, I worked in After Effects for most of the day and also watched The League, which is hilarious.

Today I am pretty sure I finished dialing in seatpost length, saddle position and angle to my stem/bars setup. Took it for a short spin and it felt perfect.

Nuhtowel, pre-med? I plan on switching from a finance to a philosophy major. I find it more interesting and I heard that undergraduates in philosophy score high on the LSAT, which is nice. Assuming I don't go that route, I would be ****ed because what the hell can you do with a philosophy degree?

I did use WD40 but once I reached the bend it kinda quit wanting to slide. The eighth inch track drops are pretty shallow so I may just use way more wd40.

The leading bit of grip can dry out before you get 'em all the way on, so in addition to a quick squirt in the grip I blast the bar with lube also. I typically use alcohol or window cleaner but the practice should work just as well with WD40.

If you come out of college/university and are able to write well and think critically you will be fine regardless of your degree.

I'm a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology major... Don't feel bad I got a couple C's in chemistry classes :innocent: this was my first semester I actually did well.

I'm all for studying something you are passionate about, but at the same time I think that your degree should be something marketable. I know a lot of people with degrees in the arts or communications that aren't doing much after school. Could you do a minor in philosophy? That would give you a solid backup plan incase you change your mind about law school.

I used to want to go to medical school, but the more I learned about science, the less thrilling being a doctor became. I don't really agree with how medicine is practiced and the bureaucracy in the field anyway. So, graduate school here I come!

Right, but the problem is that alot of degrees don't leave you entering the job market with any marketable skill.
Most sci/eng majors know how to operate many different instruments and apparatuses.

I agree that anyone who goes through the motions and actually graduates has a valuable mind and work ethic. It's just more or less difficult depending on what your degree was and where you are trying to work.

Merry Christmas!

aw shucks

jimmytango 12-21-11 09:18 AM

A friend of mine has a philosophy degree. Dude makes stupid amounts of money doing something in IT. As long as you have a degree you're fine. Hell, I dropped out of high school, have no college degree, and I make more money than a lot of my friends.

Drummerboy1975 12-21-11 09:44 AM

Today I'm building America.

geist 12-21-11 10:40 AM

Today I called out of work... to ride.

misskaz 12-21-11 03:55 PM

Today is my last day in the office for 2011. It has involved doing exactly one work thing, goofing off on the internet, taking a 2-hour lunch that included beer, and now a dance party with coworkers.

Scrodzilla 12-21-11 04:11 PM

Today I signed the lease for our new shop.

BP88 12-21-11 04:38 PM

Scrod, do you have any pics of the new shop? I'd like to see it!

Jaytron 12-21-11 05:05 PM

Hell yeah! Congrats Scrod!

Today I won a $25 Mastercard gift card for being awesome at work. *heads over to RG*

Not yet. We still have a little bit of building out/remodeling to do but hopefully it won't take too long.

As for right now, the only pic I've got is this arial teaser:

It's small but the location is awesome and it's two blocks from our house.

Sherblock 12-21-11 05:35 PM

Any pics of the current shop? Or is it still just a big warehouse? Either way, I'd be interested to see!

ddeadserious 12-21-11 05:43 PM

Awesome! Will you have a storefront?

LesterOfPuppets 12-21-11 05:46 PM

Today I took 12 hoodies, a couple of jackets and a dozen T-shirts over to the Salvation Army.

Damn, Scrod that's a KILLER location. Waterfront action rules!

xavier853 12-21-11 05:47 PM

Sweet scord!

DviousDave 12-21-11 05:49 PM

Got my Deep Vs and VO metallic braided brake lines in the mail. Gonna smoke a bowl when I get home and put that sh*t on.

Yes sir. Which also means - because we will now have an actual "brick and mortar" retail location - that a lot more product will be available to us (and you guys).

The current state of things is such a complete cluster**** that I would never even want to take a picture of it, let alone post one.

Dannihilator 12-21-11 07:16 PM

Today I rode into work. On the way home some driver decided that it was necessary to screw my ride up, passes me, goes a ways goes to a point where it's too slow for me and as soon as soon as I go to overtake, floors it.. Repeated this a couple of times, since the road was wet, the guy tried it one more time and hydroplaned his aqua green hyundai, into an old oak tree. Oak tree: 1 Hyundai: 0

Scrodzilla 12-21-11 07:22 PM

Well as long as there was a happy ending. Epic fail for that guy.
