So last night I was sitting in the filthy 'shop' shitter at work frowning not out of effort but due to the fabulously filthy conditions in which it was required I do my business. Just as my mood was about to turn foul due to this shabby shitter I realized that in just under two weeks I would have to brave it no more. And not only was I about to be free of this filthy shitter with it's trash can full of shit filled TP (you REALLY don't want to know) but I am to be free of this place as a whole. No more working until 10 at night. No more driving all over creation for work. No more roving start times. No more random start times and plans that change every 23 minutes.
Two weeks from now I move to a DAY job where I show up at the same shop, at the same time and continue the last days work. I am giddy like a school girl at the prospect of moving to a place where my work may once again become enjoyable and the crapper is not a superfund site. The sun will shine and all will be well with the world. Plus not only am I moving somewhere that will improve my mood to no end but I am moving to what I feel is a better opportunity and I am going to be learning new equipment and moving in a more career, not 'job,' oriented direction.
It didn't exactly hurt my mood that I got to give my notice at a place where, while I know I was appreciated on some level, it was never acknowledged I was doing a good job. No one is irreplaceable but I know they are not going to find somebody to fill my shoes easily or cheaply.
I am so happy I could burst
Of course give it a few weeks and I may hate the new job too.. but at least I will have change of scenery.

brought my bike to my friends yesterday. tried lossening and adjusting the risers where they come in at the triple tree, its still off. think we determined that the bars may be slightly bent, or the risers are tweaked. friend of mine that works at the body shop said me might be able to fix the tank, no guarantees. im going to swap meet oct 8th to get a sporty tank and rear fender that i plan on stipping down and painting flat black. ill look for new risers and possibly bars. im going to miss the really nice paint job, but thats ok, im going to go for the rat bike look now.
