Tough Week...

Sorry about the near radio silence on the blogging front this week. It has been *hellacious* at work this week, a string of 12-13 hour days doing some high stress, short deadline work.

Artist's Rendition: The Unholy Rouleur at Work This Week.
Note the Complete Absence of any Red Swingline Staplers.


(I'm not even counting the non-work work, that I do from my laptop after I get home from working on my work at my workplace. (Thank goodness for BlueTooth, right? A total quality of life invention, if you ask me.) A couple times this week, I came home just before my kid's bed time, ate half of my dinner, tucked the kid into bed, then passed out myself. 8:00 PM, folks.

Anyhow, the foot is in decent shape, only has a bit of toe pain, so it's off to the MAC races this weekend and we'll see how it (and my lungs) hold up. The first race of the MAC season is Granogue on Saturday (an awesome race I'm told) and the second MAC race is Wissahickon on Sunday (a place where I'm told I should do well, given the course layout). These are fun UCI points races, and there is still a little room in most of the fields. If you're anywhere in the mid-Atlantic this weekend, go race, or come out and support the sport.

I hear the chicks at Granogue are wicked
hot too, and totally worth the trip.




Bonus round: I'll try to ride hard enough to throw up at Wissahickon if I hear anybody - anybody at all - cheering for "The Unholy Rouleur" in the C race.

Hears His Own Name at a Race



Okay, fine, I'll probably ride hard enough to throw up anyhow 'cuz that's generally how I roll, but if I hear cheering, I'll throw up earlier in the race. Happy now, nitpickers?

I think you could lighten your workload, or at least the stress level if you colour coded the lids on your archive boxes. I recommend

Yellow - probably important, but not sure why.
Red - very important, stack at the bottom.
Blue - career damaging evidence, store at home.
Green - potential evidence, store in neighbours attic in flame proof container.

I thought you and I were about the same age... I now need to amend that based on you ogling women old enough to be my granny.

I thought that was a depiction of you at the staff Christmas party because you didn't read the sign at the bar warning that the boss was cheap and only supplied domestic beer.
