So, work is the same, unfortunately, as no new trained dispatcher. I had 2 days off the week before last, but only 1 day last week, and this week will get only 1 day off. This really is a drag. Too tired to do much of anything else, missing Mini Bike Winter (I had to wait until Saturday to check the interweb to see what people had put up about it. Too PO'd about missing it all). From all the accounts it appears that it truly was an epic year.
On Saturday after work I went to Kits (well, Broadway & Balaclava) to get coffee for David, then decided to ride East. Hah! Racing traffic is fun. But cripes! I hit nearly every traffic light/pedestrian controlled intersection on the amber too late to blow it, so it was more of traffic leap-frogging. But I still was faster than the cars. This one particular Honda Element was trying to beat me (I could see it as the guy looked at me as he went by, and then I looked at him as I past him 2 blocks later. This was repeated several times until I left him for good at Willow. A little later I stopped in at MEC, as I thought there was something there that I wanted but could not remember. I saw Ted at the bike counter and he invited me to his "Beerbecue" that evening. I accepted (a little R&R never hurt), plus I remembered the items & purchased them. Later on at the beerbecue some of us were looking at some MBW pics on the web. Yeah, I really missed out. It sucks big time. So I hope to get lots of time off after a new dispatcher is hired/trained so I can do some fun stuff. Perhaps the PDX'ers will go to Maryhill WA soon, that would make a good road trip.
Tried to watch a travel show (while working) on Melbourne (thinking of you BN) on TV. Of course that is when things got busy so I couldn't see much of it.
