Any security cams ? Hard to believe someone working there would risk their job and career to steal a cheap bicycle.

Today I had a nervous breakdown over excel/work bull****, so I said f'it and went for a 28mile bike ride.

That fixed everything...except for still having my **** job that I'm totally over.

Today I'm 100 pages into Dune and decided to look it up online because it appeared to be a massive universe like LOTR. I wish I hadn't. Now I see people praising it to greatness while others frankly state it is shallow and dull. This damages some of the fun.

First book was awesome but don't bother with the rest, at least if my memory of it from thirty years ago is accurate.
