Nice work! I was wanting to hit that but too broke and didn't get a chance to email beg for volunteer position in trade for race entry. Was still kinda tired from Het Meer over the weekend too.

Applied for another job in San Diego, hopefully I hear back from this one instead of playing a drawn-out waiting game.

@heymatthew Thanks, I hope so too. I have a great job here in NYC but I have been in NY my entire life and I need to get away from the cold (well, cold for me). Winter is the bane of my existence.

Today we got outrageously busy and a customer told my coworker to **** his ****. Was pretty funny. He then threatened to leave us a bad review and said "The pen is mightier than the sword." So my coworker told him "Have fun playing with your pen." Perfect retort.

Today I found out that four people have officially dropped the history course I'm taking, which leaves it at me, a senior, and the professor.
So far it's been my favorite class. There's just something so, so awesome about sitting down with an expert for 3 hours a week and learning through discussion (rather than lecture).
also, this is a quick edit, but I had my first bike coop shift last night. no one came in

If you need a letter of rec from a non-science professor, here's a great opportunity.

I'm just happy to get this experience as a freshman, and less than two weeks into the school year.

Today I decided to start perusing Bike Forums again. Some updates:
I moved. I no longer live in the Canada of Chicago. I now live on the near-Northwest side in FG central. Ironically, I no longer own one. I'm riding a CX bike these days. Looking to grab a FG again soon, though. The new neighborhood is great. I can walk to a great brewery, a distillery, and a ton of restaurants (one with a Michelin star) in a matter of minutes, and 90% of my Chicago friends live near me. I (mostly) quit smoking, and I am Executive Sous Chef for a company that owns two bars, is opening a farm-to-table Mexican place within the next three months, and just closed on two other properties. I've been reunited with the lady that gave me my first sous gig, and I'm super excited to be her right hand again.
I don't get to ride as much as I'd like, because work, but life is pretty swell.
How have you all been?
