Bike to Work Day!

Morning Breakfast!

The path on my way to work

New friends from work!

It was a blast! It is so weird; several people I work with bike to work regluarly so it wasn't even anything out of the ordinary for them. People bike a lot here to get places. It's really cool. I love it. They had a "Bike From Work Bash" after the work day. Free beer. I drank 3 and then had to bike home. Awesome day!!

I'm enjoying my work; figuring out my role. I have GOT to get my bike fixed this weekend and start saving for another bike so I can have two! It's ride to work day next Wednesday and it's insane! Last year they had over 50,000 participate! It's like a party in the morning. I don't know how to ride my bike and dress up for work at the same time. Should be an interesting outfit.

Do I really have to start work TOMORROW???

Well, the fun is officially over. Not that this last week has been fun but I can't believe I have to start work tomorrow. No summer vacation for me!!!! I am really really nervous. It will be nice to have a commute of 2.2 miles instead of 26 miles. I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. I may pack my lunch in a "normal" lunchbox instead of my Bears one. I have to act "normal" for the first few months at least so they don't think I'm weird. I'm sure they will figure it out soon enough! Give me a couple of days and then I'll let you know how the new job is!!!

Moving is HELL!

Well, I made it! It took 3 days and over 1000 miles but I'm finally here. I just went to the neighborhood bar and got a hot dog. Yummy. If anybody is ever renting a truck to move, don't do the cat thing. I think they are traumatized but seem to be adjusting to the altitude out here.
