we got a new time system at work and even though i don't need a half hour to start my workday the powers thought i did. so instead of putting in beckham's contacts and rolling into work at a reasonable 15 minutes prior now i have to be there no later than 23 minutes prior. 23 minutes, doesn't that sound too corporate, when was the last time you thought wow i have to be there in 23 minutes? or, oh shit, we're 23 minutes late! it sucks because i have about 15 minutes of work to do in 23 minutes. it means i look for other stuff to do so i can be productive with my "extra time." i know the workplace isn't supposed to inspire creativity unless your an artist or at best an ad person but punching in seems so vail resorts or prison-like. oh well, i'll just need to get my shit together before bed so i just need to do the boys lenses and get on the bike. maybe a bowl of granola if there's time. the little trek that it is to work isn't bad, 10 minutes is all it takes. I may try to lengthen it, but who wants more time at 5.30 in the morning. i guess when the snow comes it will be the mtb or the maybe fixy if i want to push the season, and the traction. the fact is it doesn't what it is as long as it has two wheels and me pushing some pedals. the beauty of the bike, oddly safe, or seemingly safe at 5.30 in the morning. i can count on both hands the number of cars i saw on the way to work this week. except for yesterday, my bitch neighbor felt the need to pass me just before the stoplight when i was going the speed limit. absolutley no need, i however made her pass on the left side of the road. i was riding right where i should at that speed, about a meter in from the right shoulder, and straight. i hate shitty drivers.
